State Dept. Explains
Why Jewish DPs Get
Most Entrance Visas

WASHINGTON. (JTA) — Fig-
ures on the number of U. S. visas
issued to displaced Jews in the
American zones in Europe were
made public by the State Depart-
ment in answer to a query
whether "special priority is given
to members of the Jewish faith"
in granting visas to DPs.
The total number of Jewish
refugees to receive visas during
the last 11 months was under

10,000.

A spokesman, however, did not
exclude the possibility that Brit-
ish Ambassador Sir Ronald
Campbell had made representa-
tions on his own initiative, and
had not yet informed London.
The spokesman added as far as
he knew the Foreign Office was
not contemplating any such step.
Harold Laski, in an address at
the Histadruth "third Seder,"
called upon Britain to fulfill im-
mediately the spirit and letter of
the - Balfour Declaration and the
Mandate.
Warning Palestine terrorists
they have done immeasurable
arm by giving the British gov-
ernment an "alibi," Laski also
criticized Foreign Minister Bevin's
policy, which "makes him an ob-
jective ally of the Grand Mufti."
Laski also called Britain's fail-
ure to carry out the findings of
the Anglo-American Palestine
Commission an "outrageous blot
on the record of the Labor gov-
ernment."

great literary productions of our
time, and his latest work, "Mr.
Whittle and the Morning Star"
(Alfred A. Knopf, Publisher),
provides the evidence.
The author of "One More
Spring," "The Road of Ages - and
a dozen other outstanding works,
makes Prof. Robert Whittle, his-
torian, the vehicle for his fan-
tasy. Convinced that the world
is coming to an end, Mr. Whittle
becomes involved in an embar-
rassing situation. A fleeting mo-
ment of infatuation, correspond-
ing with an equally innocent in-
cident between his wife and the
banker, climax the descriptions
of otherwise perfectly normal
and perfectly charming people.
In truth, there is real devotion
among these people who for pass-
ing moments only become con-
fused.
Meanwhile, Prof. Whittle has
his internal struggles, he con-
verses with God, Whose final
word serving as the most con-
vincing thought in the story is:
"You must not think I am un-
kind. I am only indifferent. That
does not mean that I am without
love; but My love, unlike yours,
must stretch to infinity, and last
forever. Otherwise, where am I?"
The fascination which domi-
nates the style of Robert Nathan
is always most certain to pro-
duce a large following. This is
the case with "Mr. Whittle and
the Morning Star" which should,
as it undoubtedly will, have a
large reading public.

The question was addressed to
the State Department by Rep.

whether children were receiving
priority and how many refugees
might seek entry to the U. S. this
