There is a spirit of disappoint- ment over the election of un- friendly delegates to key posi- tions in the General Assembly. Also — the approval of un- friendly U. S. representatives by the U. S.

"Jewish business has been completely destroyed," Yagupsky said. "Everything was burned and ransacked. It seems as though the Jews have been ruined." A survey of the destruction is being undertaken under the aus- pices of Yagupsky, who asserted that aid is urgently needed from other Jewish 'communities to help re-establish Jewish econ- omic life in the city. for maintaining peace in Pales- tine, whatever that might entail. The whole question, he said, would be discussed at the forth- coming special session of the UN General Assembly. A proposal that Defense Secre- tary Forrestal, Under-Secretary of State Lovett and Chief of the Near East Division of the • State Department Loy Henderson ap- pear before a Congressional committee to explain the U. S. reversal on the Palestine parti- tion plan was made by Rep. Ja- cob K. Javits of New York in the House.' Javits described the three of- ficials as the men "who must have been responsible in a major way" fOr the American policy shift. He also urged lifting of the arms embargo on Palestine and American support for the forma- tion of a United Nations volun- tary police force for Palestine, in which members of the Jewish War Veterans could enlist. He voiced the belief the JWV could furnish a 20,000-man division to go to Palestine. A delegation from the Political Action Committee for Palestine, led by Rabbi Baruch Korff, pre- sented a two-million signature petition to Senators Ives, Langer and Capper and Rep. Sol Bloom, calling for "immediate construc- tive legislation on Palestine." The delegation urged the Congres- sional leaders to call upon Presi- dent Truman to ask the United Nations to return to its original position in support of partition. JDC Records Aid to Polish Jews On Warsaw Uprising Anniversary $250,000,000 minimum campaign Of the United Jewish Appeal. At the beginning of 1947, nearly 65,0.00 Polish Jews depended upon JDC for all types of relief aid. Today, JDC leaders reported, One- third of the country's Jews, con- sisting of the sick, invalids, the aged and other persons unatle to work, are primarily - dependent upon the agency's assistance pro- gram. Among them are 16,000 children, many of whom receive care in some 100 JDC-supported homes. JDC also maintains 85 dispensaries, hospitals, maternity centers and sanatoria in Poland. Some 35,000 Polish Jews, it was added, are gainfully employed, requiring only supplementary aid. JDC reconstruction efforts aimed at helping Polish, Jews achieve self-support include credit co-op- eratives and a network of 203 producers' cooperatives. The Joint Distribution Com- mittee, in a statement commem- orating the fifth anniversary of the Warsaw ghetto Jews' uprising against the Nazi invaders, report- ed it had spent $17,500,000 since V-E Day for relief, reconstruc- tion and resettlement operations on behalf of Poland's estimated 100,000 Jewish survivors. Before the war, Poland had a Jewish population of 3,300,000. "American Jewish community support through JDC to help these survivors is a living me- morial to the heroes of the War- saw ghetto," JDC officials de- clared. The uprising, which be- gan April 19, 1943, following the "deportation-to-death" of about 350,000 Jews, ended with the kill- ing of virtually all the remaining 40,000 in the ghetto.
