U. S. Declaration Lacks Concrete
Proposals on Palestine Partition

- By J. L. TELLER
(Editor, Palcor and Jewish
Press Service)
LAKE SUCCESS—Not that we
.- are ungrateful for the U. S. dele-
. gation's statement on Palestine.
Past disillusionment, however.
has taught us
not to read our
own wishful
thinking into
statements from
official sources.
The U. Si en-
dorse m e n t, in
principle, of par-
tition and immi-
J. • L. Teller
gration is grati-
fying. The statement stresses Am-
erican involvement in Palestine
by recalling the Anglo-American
Convention, and reminds ingrate
Arab politicians that American
sacrifice has gone into the mak-
ing of six Arab states.
From thereon, it trails off into
implied pledges and assurances
to Britain, whose continued pres-
ence in Palestine some U. S. stra-
tegists regard as essential.
The statement stresses that
Palestine is primarily Britain's
responsibility, implying• that
Britain should stay on as interim
administrator. This may mean
that the UN may advise and assist
Britain in Palestine, but not
necessarily supervise her. The
language in this section of the
statement is so ambiguous as to
lend itself to many interpreta-
tions, including the one just given.
There is no indication in the
American statement as to when
the transition period would
end—a rather unfortunate
omission.
Britain has long pressed for
American participation in the
Middle East and Palestine. The
U. S. pledges participation by
promising financial and economic
assistance. On the delicate matter
,of military cooperation, the U. S.

proposes vicarious assistance by
means • of an international police
force, recruited by the UN. It
does not necessarily mean that
the force, after it has been re-
cruited, is to be responsible to
the UN. The force may be re-
sponsible to the interim adminis-
tration alone, and that adminis-
tration may be British.
The U. S. statement contains
many implications which require
explanation. U. S. endorsement of
partition will have little practical
meaning unless it is followed by
concrete proposals, outlining the
functions of the interim regime
and its responsibilities to the UN,
and setting a deadline for the
termination of the interim period
and the commencement of inde-
pendence.

'Joan of Lorraine'

Silver, Altman Give,
Top Performances in
Wayne Production

Maxwell Anderson's eloquent
expression of faith, "Joan of
Lorraine," returned, to Detroit
last weekend, produced by the
Circular Theater of Wayne Uni-
versity.
Don Blakely and Lynn Orr did
an expert job of direction, using
the unusual facilities of the cir-
cular theater to best advantage
in presenting Anderson's !'play-
within-a-play" technique, a n d
cleverly translating the "back-
stage" dialogue to fit the Wayne
University setting.
Reuben Silver stole the show,
giving an authentically carefree
interpretation of the playboy
Dauphin. Seymour Altman gave
a polished performance as the
director, and would very likely
have made a better Inquisitor
than Harvey Gedrich, had Wayne
followed the professional com-
pany's example in double-casting
that part with that of the direc-
tor.
Gilda Fox, in the title role,
seemed somewhat forced, and was
difficult to hear, although it was
obvious throughout that she was
convinced of the validity of the
famous French legend of Joan
the Maid, and was anxious to
convey her impression to the
audience.
Other notabl e performances
were turned in by Harry Elton,
Mack Palmer, Helen Buliga,
Leonard Jaslove and Gedrich,
who was better as Dunois than
as the Inquisitor. Mort Zieve was
'especially convincing as Father
Massieu.
The deep, Strong faith of "Joan
of Lorraine" is moving, and its
dramatic presentation is particu-
larly timely, at a moment when
faith in some power greater than
man• is greatly, needed, particular-
ly by the Jewish people.
The Circular Theater produc-
tion will be repeated this Friday
and Saturday evenings at Mc-
Collester Hall, Cass and Forest.

In an address to the Michigan

Dr. Maurice Eisendrath, Cincin-

American Hebrew Congregations,
strongly condemned the "isola-

some strange reason, failed to see
in Europe, the lean and emaciated
bodies of starving multitudes,
who failed to hear the agonizing
cries of little children helplessly
paralyzed by disease." -

Organized Anti-Semitism at Minimum
In U. S., AJC Executive Declares

A technique of silence and of
refusing to give undue publicity
to anti-Semites is responsible for
the reduction of Gerald L. K.
Smith's audiences from 1,500 to
200, Dr. John Slawson, executive
vice-president of the American
Jewish Committee, stated at the
meeting of the Committee's De-
troit chapter at the Art Institute
on Monday.
"Organized anti-Semitism in
the U. S. now is at a minimum,"
Dr. Slawson stated, "but social
and economic discrimination are
with us. The most important re-
sponsibility is to prevent anti-
Semitism from becoming fash-
ionable."
Dr. Slawson, who recently re-
turned from a tour of Europe, re-
ported that in Germany anti-
Semitism and totalitarian think-
ing are as rife as in the days of
Hitler. He revealed that Arab
propaganda, is responsible for the
rise of bigotry against Jews in
Latin American countries and
that the 500,000 Jews in Africa
are in a precarious position as a
result of Arab prejudices.
"The American Jewish Com-
mittee," he asserted, "stands for
equal rights for Jews wherever
they are. The only way we can
achieve it is to work for a demo-
cratic . framework. We believe
there is interdependence and that
threats to • the security of one
group mean threats to all groups."
Dr. Slawson, who was intro-
duced by Victor Klein, the eve-
ning's chairman, - described the
educational activities of the Corn-

mittee and the methods of expos-
ing anti-Semites.
Mrs. Douglas I. Brown, Isidore
Levin, Philip Marcuse, Charles
Rubiner, Abraham Srere and Leo
Franklin were elected members
of the local AJC chapter's execu-
tive board for a three-year term.
Henry Wineman was chairman
of the nominating committee. Jo-'
seph M. Welt, chairman of the
chapter for the past two years,
was praised for his devoted ef-
forts for the Committee's pro-
gram.

Council to Discuss
Education October 30

Ways of urging Jewish parents
to provide some form of Jewish
education for their children will
be discussed at the next delegates'
meeting of the Jewish Commun-
ity Council, Oct. 30, 8:15 p. m.,
in the Jewish Community Center
auditorium. The meeting will be
under the auspices of the Coun-
cil's Culture Committee, of which
Rabbi Morris Adler is chairman.
Low enrollment during the past
few years has become a commun-
ity problem. The committee hopes
to reach the parents through its
constituent organizations whose
delegates will attend the confer-
ence.
Information concerning the dif-
ferent schools, both Yiddish and
Hebrew, will be made available
to parents so that they may make
a choice of the school to which
they wish to send their children.
