Page Three THE JEWISH NEWS Friday. November 22. .1946 -- Deny Warfare On Between Haganah, Extremist Groups Proskauer Aids Med. School in Palestine . . MUNICH, (JTA)—Immigration from the U. S. zone of Germany to America dropped to a new low in October when only 42 persons embarked for America. The number of applicants for visas to the U. S. also has dropped because the refugees apparently are discouraged by the tremendous backlog of visa requests. The drop was attributed to the large number of Americans who were repatriated in October and to the U. S. shipping strike. JERUSALEM (JTA)—Reports abroad concerning open clashes between the Haganah and the Jewish extremist groups were denied by responsible Jewish circles here. However, they admitted the Haganah was attempting to prevent violence wherever possible, even when that leads to a conflict with the extremists. The same circles disclosed a member of the Haganah was killed while attempting to remove a land mine planted by the extremists. He was caught in a cross fire between British troops and members of the Irgun Zvai Leumi. They also revealed that members of the Haganah disarmed and imprisoned overnight a squad of extremists who attempted to mine a road near Givat Brenner. Jerusalem wits have dubbed the fortified government citadel in the center of the city, in which Police headquarters and military and civilian offices are located, "Bevingrad." The Irgun Zvai Leumi radio "Voice of Fighting Zion" described as "lies" the reports by the British Intelligence Service that Jewish extremists had threatened to assassinate high-ranking statesmen and military figures. The broadcast welcomed the recent announce- ment by the Haganah that it had not launched an attack on the Irgun and the Sternists, and appealed to the Haganah to join them in a• holy war" against the British oppressors. Asserting that terrorist attacks in Palestine will lead to the destruction of the Jewish community and its achievements in the country, Dr. Judah L. Magnes, president of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and leader of the Ichud Party. appealed for an end to extremist activities. He spoke at ceremonies marking the opening of the University's 22nd academic year. "Judaism must oppose the vain doctrine of achieving Zionist thus endanger all aims by terror—this pagan Torah—because we that has been built with so much love and sacrifice," he said. Deputies Warn "Terror Scare" Reports Foster Anti-Jewish Feelings LONDON (JTA)—The Board of Deputies of British Jews issued the activities of a statement expressing "distress" at the reports the Palestine extremists are to be extended to England.

But it regrets the sensationalism of the reports which can only tend to create bad feelings against the Jews."

Welles Urges U. S. They told Santa and he told us... To Support Partition Proposed by Agency YORK (JPS-Palcor)— Former Undersecretary of State Welles, writing in the New York Herald Tribune, urges vigorous U. S. support for a partition of Palestine under the "viable state plan" proposed by the Jewish Agency, to be under the tempor- ary control of the UN Trustee- NEW ship Council. "It is well known in official quarters that several Arab lead- ers are willing to accept this sol- ution," Mr. Welles writes, "but it is clear that none of the Arabs will officially support this pro- posal until they are informed that the British government itself in- sists upon such a solution and until they are told by London that they are not going to receive more favorable terms. The present threat to adoption of a solution which, while by no means meeting all of the aspira- tions of the Jews nor all the de- sires of the Arabs, would at least be fair and practicable, lies in the possibility the British govern- ment may persist in its policy of 42 Immigrants Enter U.S. From Germany In October Yes, they've told him all the things they long Store Hours: Open Wed.
