'We urge you to oppose the
reversal of Palestine Partition
Plk-n pledged by our govern-
nvnt, which was instrumental

stroys the effectiveness of the
United Nations as a force for
world peace.
"We urge Michigan Congress-
men to take immediate action in
Congress to recommit our gov-
ernment for partition decision
and to so instruct our American
delegation to the UN, to lift
arms embargo enabling Jewish

support to the provisional Jewish
Government being set up in ac-
cordance with the UN decision."
