Zionist Council Head
Assails Ship Seizure
NEW YORK.-.Dr. Abba Hillel
Silver, chairman of the Ameri-
can Zionist Emergency Council,
which speaks for all official Am-,
erican Zioni st organizations,
called the seizure of the vessel
"Exodus 1947" a violation "of
the unanimous resolution of the
United Nations General Assem-
bly."
(The "capture" of the Jewish
transport was effected outside of
the territorial waters of Palestine
by a boarding party from three
British destroyers and a cruiser,
and resulted in the deaths of
three Jews and serious injuries
to scores of other passengers).
Dr. Silver urged that members
of the United Nations "immedi-
ately- raise before the Security
Council the question of this
arbitrary and lawless activity of
Britain."
"It is chiefly through books
that we enjoy intercourse with
superior minds, and these inval-
uable means of communication
are in the reach of all. In the
best books great men talk to us,
give us their most precious
thoughts, and pour their souls
into ours."—William Ellery Chan-
ning.
Ask any little girl who has
exchanged burned-out lamp
bulbs at an Edison office.
She'll tell you she was treated like a debutante
shopping for sables. For, although Detroit Edi-
son supplies eight million new lamp bulbs to its
customers annually, the Edison clerk never seems
too busy to give her a smile and a cheery greeting.
