Freedom Due Soon
For Agency's Heads
JEkUSALEM, (JTA) —Release of the Jewish
Agency leaders detained in the Latrun prison since
June 29 is imminent.
The Hebrew press generally favors the cessa-
tion of the London talks, which, as one paper puts it,
"led nowhere except to Jewish humiliation."
LONDON, (JTA) — Although the British government
has given no assurance to the Jewish Agency concerning
release of its imprisoned leaders, it is expected to free the
detained men shortly, the newspaper Observer has re-
ported. Agency spokesmen told Colonial Secretary Arthur
Creech-Jones this was a prerequisite to Jewish participation
in the Palestine Conference, when it is resumed on Dec. 16.
Jerusalem Tense As British Troops Take Over City
Siberia to Brooklyn:
RABBI ISAAC
DRILLMAN, after a separation of eight years,
is reunited with his wife and five children
through the United Service for New Ameri-
cans (National Refugee Service), whose pro-
gram of refugee aid is carried on with funds
from the $100,000,000 United Jewish Appeal.
Rabbi DriLbnan came to the U. S. in 1938,
expecting his family to follow shortly. With
the oatbreak of the war the Soviet govern-
ment sent the family to Siberia. The family
arrived in New York recently.
JERUSALEM, (JTA)—Jerusalem has become a tense,
dead city after dusk, as a result of the rigid curfew. One of
the first prominent victims of the ban was Czechoslovakian
Consul-General Ivan Novak and his wife, who were ar-
rested by soldiers and held an hour despite the consul's
diplomatic immunity. The curfew is being strictly enforced
by heavily armed troops.

759 Visaleas Immigrants Sent to Cyprus
HAIFA. (JTA)—Visaless Jews from the intercepted
boat Alma were transferred to British vessels Empire Hey-
wood and Ocean Vigour and were taken to the Cyprus
detention camp. The party includes 516 men, 202 women
and 41 children. The ailing were hospitalized at Haifa.
No resistance was offered by the incoming immigrants.
One man who jumped overboard was rescued. British trans-
shipment precautions included depth charging to discourage
escapees and outsiders attempting to approach the ship.
The Alma left Haifa with the faint cries of hungry,
thirsty and worn-out refugees still ringing in the air. The
when inter-
boat was 14 days at sea without food and water
cepted by two minesweepers after being spotted by naval
planes off the Lebanege coast. When military boarded the
ship, the refugees sang Hatikvah and shouted "we want to
go to Palestine." Exhausted, they offered no opposition.

JERUSALEM. (JTA)—The Sternists issued a pamphlet
charging that "responsibility for terrorizing the Jewish
populace of Palestine now falls on all British soldiers, )and
policemen. Every one appearing armed in the streets is
liable to bei hit by a Hebrew fighter. In the 'Jewish home-
land Hebrew citizens won't be at the mercy of outrageous
armed enemy soldiers."
Jewish internees at Cyprus and deportees in Eritrea
will take part in the elections for delegates to the coming
World Zionist Congress. Prisoners in the Latrun detention
camp and Jews held in the Athlit clearance camp will also
participate, it was learned this week.

This Is Freedom
Scenes like this in Palestine, where all
join freely in building the Jewish Home-
land, present a striking contrast to the
poverty and oppression in Europe. In
European displaced persons' camps,
Jews are not much better off than they
were in concentration camps. In Pal-
estine, they learn to smile again. The
United Jewish Appeal eases the suffer-
ings of the survivors from Nazism and
eventually brings them to the Land of
Freedom, with the aid of the Joint Dis-
tribution Committee and the United
•
Palestine Appeal.
