Martial Law Scenes In Palestine

Below are two typical scenes taken recently during a period of
martial law ordered by the British military leaders in Palestine.
Such rigid curfews have failed to help the British in their crackdown
on terrorism, and has injured the economic and social well-being of
Palestine's innocent citizens.

GREETINGS
tine, composed of top figures in
the American theater, screen,
music. writing and painting was
formed here. In its first public
appeal. in advertisements in the
New York press, the new group
urged President Truman to con-
tinue to press his demand for the
immediate admission of 100,000
Jews into Palestine. The appeal
said in part:
The British Foreign Secretary, ,
Mr. Bevina has sought to shift I
responsibility for his ignominious
failures to you, Mr. President "
His insulting reference to your
humanitarian requests for the ad-
mission of 100,000 Jews into Pal-
estine merited the contempt with
which they were received by the
American people. We applaud
your firm and dignified reply to
the British Foreign Secretary. In
pointing out that you merely re-
America's traditional
affirmed
policy, you once again served
notice on those who would be-
tray the Jewish people that the
United States means to honor its
committments."
Among the sponsors of the ap-
peal are Nobel prize novelist
Thomas Mann, Maxwell Ander-
son, writer and one-time advisor
to President Roosevelt; Richard
E. Lauterbach, Time magazine
correspondent; actress-playwright
Ruth Gordon; Jerome Chodorov,
• movie director; Elizabeth Berg-
ner, stage and screen actress;
Nathan Milstein, violin virtuoso;
Helen Traubel, opera star; Mark
Van Doren, writer; William Sar-
oyan, writer, and others.

great American Pioneer

Biography to a Judah Touro
Tribute to a Devoted Jew

"Judah • Touro," by Leon Huh-
ner, published by the Jewish
Publication Society of America,
is more than biography. It is
American history and is the rev-
elation of the activities of a great
American, a great patriot, a de-
voted Jew.
The author excellently por-
trays the role played by the emi-
nent Jew in building New Or-
leans. Touro emerges as one of
the great heroes in American his-
tory.
Born in 1775, orphaned at 12,
Touro's background as well as his
entire life reads like a romance.
He sailed on vessels going to the
Mediterranean and reached the
French territory of Louisiana in
1801.
In the war of 1812, a common
soldier in the ranks as a volun-
teer under Jackson in the defense
of New Orleans, he received a
ghastly wound. His life was
saved by a friend whom, 40 years
later, he made the residuary leg-
atee of his, large estate. He was
not only a Areat shipowner in the
days when merchandising was a
romance of world trade, but one

of the early far-seeing promoters
of steamships. He won his place
as a builder of America. His gen-
tle friendliness, philanthropies
and wise leadership make his
biography satisfying reading.
His name still lives on tablets
of 18 synagogues of his day scat-
tered over the nation and com-
memorating his generous sup-
port and on the principal street
and park of his native Newport.
Touro Hospital, Touro Syna-
gogue, Touro-Shakespeare Alms-
house are monuments of the New
Orleans which he first knew as a
French unpaved, small town of
brick and plaster and logged foot
paths and which, at his death in
1854, he left as a leading Ameri-
can community and important
port, proud of its adopted son,
this distinguished American, this
outstanding Jew, who had helped
build its greatness.
This volume offers an impor-
tant addition to the library of the
general reader and especially of
the student of American Jewish.
history. It is challenging reading
to all who are interested in
knowing the past of our country
and the founders of its greatness.
