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.

(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.

(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. • Join the Red Feather Drive
