The children were placed in non-Jewish homes and were bap- tized by their foster parents. As of July this year a new legal guardian, a rabbi, will be appoint- ed for the Jewish refugee chil- dren. - The board adopted a.resolution, recommended by the executive committee, denouncing the activ- • ities of the Hebrew Legion, a force being organized in Britain and the U. S. to fight for the Jews in Palestine. Another resolution expressed full support of the struggle of Palestine Jewry in behalf of a Jewish state and expressed "amazement" at the American reversal from Palestine partition to international trusteeship. The Palestine government was urged to withdraw the Arab Legion and the Transjordan Frontier Force from Palestine and to open a port for Jewish immigration. Clergy and teachers of West Hampstead, a section of fashion- able Northwest London, formed a council to combat anti-Semit- ism and to "foster closer rela- tionship between Jews and Chris- * tians." • Rabbis Outline 3-Point Civil Rights Program ST. LOUIS, (JTA)—A three- point program for Jewish con- gregations to participate actively in the movement to implement and extend civil rights was out- lined here at the two-day meet- ing of the Commission on Justice and Peace of the Central Confer- , ence of American Rabbis by Rab- bi Roland B. Gittelsohn, a mem- ber of the President's Civil Rights Commission. Speaking at the Commission's Institute on Judaism and Civil Rights, Rabbi Gittlesohn urged that the pulpit relate civil liber- ties to the basic religious princi- ples and point out violations of them. Secondly, he suggested "the formation in every congregation of an • action' committee, consist- ing of layinen who will translate the pulpit exhortations for civil liberties into specific action." Fi- nally, he advocated "the organi- zation of joint inter-faith civil rights committees for syna- gogues and' churches to serve as of prophetic religion, Judaism and Christianity to- gether."
