ize and later to associate himself with
the great movement which we repre-
sent. He was impatient with theory
and was moved chiefly by results. The
plight of world Jewry affected the
sensative soul of Fred Butzel. and
he very early saw that merearneliora-
tion was not enough. The positive
and permanent character of the Zion-
ist solution began to appeal to him,
and although he was never a patisan,
he was thoroughly- impressed with
the achievements of the Yishuv. He
lent himself especially to - affairs
which proposed to help build up the
foundations of Eretz Israel. A pillar
of support to the United Jewish Ap-
peal, and previously to the United
Palestine Appeal—he was ever ready
to support such institutions as the
Weizmann Institute, the Haifa Tech-
nicum, the Palestine Economic Cor-
poration and even the Hakoah Foot-
ball Team. In spirit as well as in
action; Fred Butzel, who always dis-
avowed labels, came to be a real
Zionist."

Dr. Neumann Sees
New Phase of Zionism
Outside -of Palestine

NEW YORK (JPS) — The
Zionist movement in the lands
of dispersion will have new and
greater tasks in the days to come,
Dr. Emanuel Neumann, president
of the • Zionist. Organization of
America, told a press conference
on the eve of the annual ZOA
convention which is to open in
Pittsburgh, July 2. Dr. Neumann
stressed, however, that it is "at
least questionable" whether it
will be appropriate for the Zion-
ist movement party system to
continue outside Israel and to
seek to influence the political
life of the Jewish State.
When asked by a Yiddish re-
porter for his opinion on the
criticism "leveled in some circles"
at the Provisional Government
of Israel for accepting the truce,
Dr. Neumann replied- that he had
utmost confidence in the political
maturity of the men constitut-
ing the Provisional Gavernment
of Israel, that it would be im-
proper for him to comment on a
decision taken by them, and that
"we should learn to respect the
sovereignty of the government of
Israel at least to the same ex-
tentthat we require others to re-
spect it."
Outlining t h e duties and
tasks of the ZOA and the world
Zionist movement now . that
Israel has been established, Dr.
_Neumann said that these will in-
clude support for the Govern-
ment of Israel against "the cold
war" now being waged against
it and assistance in its fight to
firmly consolidate its political
supremity against anticipated as-
saults. Material support for im-
migration and, colonization, so as,
to enable hundreds of thousands
of Jews "to return home," will
be another =task to be under-
taken on a vastly larger scale
than hitherto.

Segal, Nathan Spevakow, Harold B.
Weisman, Dr. Bernard Weston, Sol
Wildstrom, and Herbert Fortgang.
The new members of the board of
directors are: Harold Berry, Sidney
Brand, Sol A. Dann, Lt. Robert Et-
tinger, Walter Farber, Harry N. Gross-
man, Louis Kasle, Nathan Medow,
Morris Mendelson, David • M. Miro,
Jack Nevel, Willie Shanfield, Benjamin
Weiss, David Zellrnan, Abe Rosen-
zweig, Albert Elazar, and Carl Rozner.

Peace Talks

There are only about 60 Jewish residents on the island of Rhodes
where the UN mediator, Count Bernadotte, is now trying to bring
the Jews and the Arabs together for peace talks.
At Lake Success the general feeling exists that the success or
failure of Bernadotte's missions for achieving a real armistice de-
pends on firm Anglo-American action . . . Only such action; UN
officials believe, can bring about a compromise solution for Palestine
and extend peace indefinitely after the cease-fire period . . . The
opinion among most UN delegates. is that such a compromise woUld
first of all have to provide for the. Arabs to recognize such a state ..
The same delegates expect that, under : Washington presstire, Israel
will agree to some reduction of the area given to the. Jewish state
under the TIN partition decision ... It is with regard to this "reduc-
tion" in territory that wires are being pulled both by Washington and
London on the initiative of the British Foreign Office . .. The British
still hold the key to the situation in Palestine, since they can manipu-
late King Abdullah to do whatever they wish .. . And what they
really wish is the Negev, either for themselves or for Abdullah .. .
American Zionist leaders are now on guard, mobilizing all possible
forces to counteract any effort on the part of the. State. Department
to support British manipulations for a revision of the Israeli frontiers.

Communal Trends

Earnest negotiations are now going on for merging the work of
the HIAS with the immigration program of the JDC in.Europe and
with refugee aid work of the United Service for New Americans in
this country . . . The merger is advocated by the Council of Jewish
Federations and Welfare Funds and by some local Jewish Federa-
tions which would like to see less competition and more cdordination
in Jewish social work . . • Details of the merger are now being
worked out between HIAS and JDC representatives in New York,
with the participatibit of USNA experts .. . Behind plans for this
merger lies the fact that central Jewish organizations not offiliated
with the UJA find it more and more difficult to secure the needed
funds for their activities . . . This is also true with regard Ur raising
funds in Latin American countries . . . Jewish communities in Latin
America are giving priority to the defense of Israel in their fund-
raising drives.
Dr. J. L. Magnes, president of the Hebrew University, is now
recuperating from a serious illness at a New York hospital-. . . One
of the reasons why he registered with the Department of Justice as
a "foreign agent" representing the Thud Association is because he is
seeking $100,000 in the United States to bring about Arab-Jewish
friendship.
