Nehru Apologizes for Slur S pring Dance Apr. 19 Joseph K•aselow is chairman By BRACHA HABAS ips-Palcor special correspondent in New Delhi) 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.

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 Reading Circles to Hear Selections from Korman construction cooperative of His- tadrut (Jewish labor federa- tion).

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.
