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."
