WASHINGTON, (JTA)-The State Department believes
"it would be unfortunate to link the question of extension of
aid to Greece with the Palestine problem," it was disclosed in
the text of answers by the department to questions submitted
by members of Congress on Greco-Turkish aid, and released
by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

FRANKFURT, (JTA)—Rabbi Philip Bernstein, advisor
on Jewish Affairs in the European Theater, and the Central
Committee of Liberated Jews denied recently published re-
ports that more than 100,000 displaced Jews in the American
zone of Germany planned a mass migration to Palestine.
"No responsible Jewish leader or organization is advo-
cating or organizing a mass cru- -

sade of Jewish displaced persons
to Palestine," - Rabbi Bernstein
stated. "In my personal opinion
it would be catastrophic to send
100,000 men, women and children

Lorant is putting new spark
into American history with such
works as "Lincoln, His Life in

Photographs,"
"The New World," a unique
compilation of eyewitness pic-
tures of Indian life in America
in the 16th Century, which won
the Carey-Thomas award for
creative publishing.
Lorant was a leading editor in
pre-Hitler Germany, was sent to
concentration camp and escaped
to England before coming to
America.

Colonial Office Unable
To Explain Threat to Jews
LONDON, (JTA)—The Colonial ,
Office is completely at a loss to ,
explain what the Palestine gov-
ernment by its announcement the
Jewish community would pay for
the destruction of approximately
$900,000 worth of fuel oil and
equipment in Haifa.
A spokesman told the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency that the
Colonial Office had not been in-
formed the Palestine government

was contemplating such a move

and after it received a cable to

this effect from Richard Stubbs,
Palestine Information Officer
who made the announcement

originally, it was still unclear
what the Palestine officials had in
mind. The spokesman stated that
he could not figure out whether
Stubbs meant that the Jewish
community would suffer by being
deprived of the destroyed oil, or
whether specific damages .would

be exacted.
(The form of punishment to
be meted out to Jews in Pales-
tine will be to apportion to
them whatever oil will be made
available after giving preference
to Arabs.)
