grees of Doctor of Phitbsophy on
Dr. Chaim Weizmann and Dr.
Judah L. Magnes, president of
the University.
Dr. Magnes, in a speech fol-
lowing the presentation of the
degrees, reviewed Dr. Weiz-
, rnann's role in the establishment
of the institution. The awards
were made by Sir Leon Simon,
chairman of the University's
executive council.
Mrs. Weizmann and Mrs. Mag-
nes attended the exercises and,
with their husbands, were visibly
affected by the occasion.
Dr. Weizmann was cited as a
"statesman of genius, dreamer of
Zion." Dr. Magnes' degree told
how he had brought from Amer-
ica, where he was born, the
'crown of a good name and large
communal experience as one of
the great organizers of American
Jewry.•
British representatives at the
exercises included the director
of Barclays Bank and head of the
British Council in Palestine, who
came with the only Arab present.

The Labor Zionist party—Pro-
gressive Zionist League — last
Thursday discussed the political
structure of the World Zionist
Organization.
The discussion was led by Tzvi
Frisch, of Palestine, who has
been in Detroit as a shaliach of

leaving for New York. Mr. Frisch
described the growth of political
Zionism and pointed out the basic
differences between several fac-
tions on the Zionist scene today.
At the next meeting of the
League, Thursday evening, July
24, at the home of Matt Harris,
8530 Woodrow Wilson, the topic
for discussion will be Bartley

by security reasons "since there

country."
He dissociated himself and his
group from the Hebrew Commit-

they also differed from this group
in "ideology." On the other hand,
he admitted that the Stern Group

Mandate must continue for five
years or longer or a UN trustee-
ship should replace the Mandate.
He suggested Britain as a likely
trustee because of her traditional
liberalism with which she tries
to solve the India and Burma
problems. Asked by Czech dele-
gate Karel Lisicky if, after see-
ing the results of 25 years of
British rule, Jews and Arabs
would be happy under such a
trusteeship, Magnes said the two
peoples would accept such a
trusteeship. He said that neither
Jews nor Arabs had made a de-
termined and systematic effort
for cooperation, but that many
are looking for courageous lead-
ership to deliver them out of the
evils of political tension, national
passion and physical terror. He
condemned partition as imprac-
tical and as a misfortune for
Jews and Arabs.

Sternist Vows Fight on Partition
NEW YORK, (JTA) — The
"Fighters for the Freedom of Is-
rael," more popularly known as
the Stern Group, are opposed to
the partition of Palestine and will
vigorously fight any such deci-
sion even if approved by the UN,
the alleged deputy commander of
the Sternists, who gave his name
only as "Mr. Hillel," told a press
conference here.
The more than a dozen repor-
ters who attended the conference
were summoned by telegram to
the apartment in Essex House of
Rabbi Baruch Korff, co-chairman
of the Political Action Commit-
tee for Palestine.
Rabbi Korff and an unidenti-
fied "security officer" stationed

tween the two rooms and trans-
