S. 36 Million 36 Jews, Many British Hurt In Exodus Disembarkation Special Cable to The Jewish News "Exodus" Jews were disem- barked after 36 were injured and more than a dozen arrested following fierce resistance by Jews aboard the Runnymede Park, the last of the three British vessels. An undisclosed number of British troops is reported to have been injured. Thirteen women were among those injured. Earlier, all Jews on the Empire Rival disembarked with- out incident. The Runnymede Jews rejected an ultimatum to disem- bark and the British sent hundreds of steel-helmeted para- troopers aboard, equipped with gas masks. Water hoses were used.

'HAMBURG (JTA)—All 'Slowness in UJA Cash Collections' Causes Jewish Organizations to Borrow So They Can Meet DPs' Needs Agencies of the United Jewish Appeal are in debt to banks and the U. S. government to the extent of $36,000,000, it was revealed at the closing session of the United Jewish Appeal conference held in New York. A resolution adopted by the meeting revealed that these agencies—United Palestine Ap- peal, Joint Distribution Com- mittee and United Service for New Americans—were forced to borrow against outstanding cash pledges because of "slow- ness in cash collections. - It was explained by UJA of- cials that the money owed the government is for surplus war materials. such as medicine and clothing. Whereas it is not the official policy of the organiza- tions to borrow against uncollected sums, the urgent need of assistance to refugees abroad made the change in procedure unavoidable. it was pointed out. The UJA agencies have spent $105,000,000 this year. The text of the resolution follows: "The Joint Distribution Committee, United Palestine Appeal and United Service for New Americans have re- ported that because of lack of cash their work has been seriously affected, that at a time when the need is at its maximum they have been forced to cut relief and that they have reached the limit of their borrowings from the banks. "The Joint Distribution Committee, for example, had at the close of business on Sept. 3, $141,0011 in the bank. It had urgent requests for the remittance of $1,500,00(1 and owed the banks and the United States government $20,0411,000. Similarly, the agencies of the United Palestine Appeal, which began the current year with a very large deficit, have been forced to borrow an additional 516,000.000 in order to keep their current operations going. "Realizing that the campaigns of the United Jewish Appeal started late in the season, and that this has neces- sarily resulted In a slowness in cash collection, this confer- ence resolves that the leaders of the United Jewish Appeal in every community immediately inaugurate an all-out collection campaign, especially with the major contributors, to collect in full the outstanding pledges and thus to redeem the promises which the Jews of America have made to the sorely tried Jews of Europe." The closing session was addressed by Herbert H. Lehman. Dr. Israel Goldstein, Henry Morgenthau, Jr., Edward W. War- burg and Ruth Gruber. Lehman said that Jewish communities in eastern and southern Europe face a famine in an area of "deep-rooted anti- Semitism." In Central Europe, the condition of the 250,000 DPs is steadily growing worse. Dr. Goldstein urged the admittance of 150,000 Jews to Pal- estine and called upon Britain to return the Exodus passengers to the Jewish homeland. Warburg appealed for generous contributions to the new UJA campaign. and Miss Gruber reported on her recent trip to Cyprus. Among the Jews arrested was Mordecai Rosman, whom British called the leader of the Runnymede Jews. After landing, about 50 Jews attempted to escape from the wire cage, but were beaten down by water hoses and the troops. Several hundred Hamburg Jews attempted to penetrate the cordon around the landihg area but were forced back by troops. the JUDGE CARRINGTON TAN- NER MARSHALL arrives in New York en rouse to his Ohio home after - presiding over trials of Naz: war cr:minals at Nuernberg.
