NEW DELHI, INDIA, (JPS-Palcor)—Members of the
Jewish Palestine delegation to the Pan Asiatic Conference
were received by Mahatma Ghandi here last week after meet-
ing the Hindu leader unexpectedly. The meeting climaxed
the Yishuv delegation's New Delhi visit which was high-
lighted last week when Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, head of the
Indian government, publicly
apologized to them for not per-
mitting the head of the delegation,
Dr. Hugo Bergmann, to reply to
inflamatory anti-Zionist attacks
delivered by an Arab League ob-
server anti—an Egyptian woman
delegate.
Nehru didn't make
a pro-Zionist statement in his
apology, reports, circulated by
other news agencies in America,
that he had delivered an anti-
Zionist harrangue were grossly
exaggerated.)
(While Mr.
Later Mr. Nehru invited the
Yishuv delegation to his home
for supper. The Indian press, dis-
cussing the incident. took a sym-
pathetic: stand toward the Pales-
tinian Jews who had the vigorous
support of the Indian delegation
in their protest against the Arab
attacks.

of the annual spring dance to be
given by the Young People's So-
brought back to the platform
amid cheers from the entire gath-
ering which rose when he and the
Arab League observer shook
hands.
Public Apology
In his subsequent public apol-
ogy to the Palestinians, Pandit
Nehru stated the Indians believed
Palestine is principally an Arab
land and no solution is possible
without agreement of the Arabs.
He expressed hope that after the
"third party" left the country
- both nations" would find a de-
sireable settlement.
Pandit Nehru invited the Pales-
tinians to supper at his home the
next day. Many members of the
various delegations, including in-
timate associates of Mahatma
Ghandi, later expressed regret
over the incident.
Untouchable Camp
The incident in the conference
hall occurred towards the close of
the opening session of the confer-
ence during which heads of all
delegations were supposed to de-
liver speeches of greeting. An
Arab League observer who had
been invited by Nehru to speak,
although he was not an official
delegate, stated among other
things that a Jewish minority in
Palestine wanted to build up a
Jewish State ''on British bayo-
nets."
He was followed by an Egyptian
woman delegate named Karaima,
who said she had been given
special permission to speak and
proceeded to attack Zionism and
The meeting with Mahatma
Ghandi occured when three mem-
bers of the Palestine delegation
visited with a streets•eepers' un-
touchable camp which Ghandi
made his residence when he
arrived here for talks with Vice-
roy Lord Louis Mountbatten.
Ghandi shook hands with each
member of the group and con-
versed with them on Palestine.
Members of the delegation who
met Ghandi were David HaCohen,
chief executive of Solel Boneh,
Dr. Bergmann's greeting address,
although tho latter had not touched
on any political questions.
Delegation Leaves
Dr. Bergmann, who was sitting
on the platform with other heads
of the delegations asked for leave
to reply to both attacks, but this
was not given despite cries of sup-
port for him from the Indian dele-
gation on the floor. He there-
upon rose and left the hall, joined
by the entire Palestinian delega-
tion.
Several organizers of the con-
ference and leaders of the Indian
delegation ran after the Pales-
tinians, urging them to return
and promising the matter would

Ford 2nd Disavows Publication
Of Book, Urges Fight on Bias
NEW YORK, (JTA)—Henry Ford 2d, president of
the Ford Motor Co., has completely disavowed the pub-
lication of "The International Jew," reprinted from the
Dearborn Independent, where it first appeared after
World War I, and presently being circulated by Gerald
L. K. Smith.
A letter to the Council Against Intolerance in
America declared that "the publication of the book is
entirely without the sanction, authorization or approval
of Mr. Henry Ford, the Ford Motor Co. or himself." "It
is the policy of the Ford Motor Co. and the members of
the Ford family to urge all American citizens to combat
any movement, the purpose of which is to foster hatred
and prejudice against any group," the letter concluded.
