Resistance to • Palestine
War Reported Growing
Among Arab Civilians
KawlZaji's irregulars), killing
one of them. When the UN par-
tition decision was announced
this village announced its inten-
tion of placing itself under Jew-
ish protection.
Shortly before the Arab in-
vasion it surrendered its arms
to Israeli forces and Israeli mili-
tary authorities have since issued
several sten guns to the inhabi-
tants, Kol Haam says. The paper
also reports that following re-
cent anti-Jewish riots in Algeria
and Morocco, the Communist
parties in those countries called
on the inhabitants not to allow
themselves to be incited against
the- Jews.
Al Arrial, organ of Phalanges
Libaneses, a Christian youth
movement in Beirut, ran an edi-
torial July 27 assailing the Leb-
anese and other Arab ' govern-
ments for dragging their peo-
ples into an unwanted war on
Palestine. If it weren't for 'the
feudal 'rulers of the Arab coun-
tries, the Jews, who suffered
throughout the world, would be
the allies of the East against for-
eign' exploitation, the paper said.
TEL AVIV, (Palcor)—Though
still local in nature, Arab civili-
an resistance to the invading
armies of the Arab states and to
the Palestine war in general is
apparently growing in Palestine.
Haboker reports that an Arab
peasant from Egyptian-occupied
Bethlehem, who escaped to Abu
Gosh, near Kiryat Anavim on
the Jerusalem road, described
life in the town as intolerable .
and said Bethlehemites are
wishing for swift liberation by
the Israeli Army. According to
this refugee, Egyptian soldiers ,
are "the scum of the earth," get-'
drunk every night, break-
ing into houses and •committing
tobbery and rape. The Mayor of
Bethlehem has already appealed
to King Abdullah and King Far-
ouk to remove the troops from
the town in order to •prevent
clashes .-with civilians, Haboker
says.
Kol. Kaam, the - Communist
daily, reports that inhabitants of
BUCHAREST, (JTA)—A group
the Arab village of Quebeiba,
near Binyamina on the northern of Jewish prisoners of war were
coastal plain, beat off an attack recently repatriated from the
by Arab gangs -(presumably Soviet Union.

Heard in the Lobbies
TEL AVIV — Immigration to
Israel' is now completely under
Jewish control and goes on un-
interruptedly. Haifa _Port is kept
open despite all machinations by
Arab strategists aided by British
culpability.
After two weeks in Israel I
am convinced' that the Yishuv is
now stronger than ever in its
determination to act firmly in
defending Jewish positions.
I visited camps which housed
5000 newcomers, most of whom
came from Romania, Hungary
and Bulgaria. Since May 14,
when Israel was proclaimed a
nation, over 30;000 immigrants
from all over Europe entered the
country. Although the Jewish
Agency assumes initial responsi-
bility for the new arrivals, all
the preparatory work is done by
the Histadrut. The Histadrut pro-
vides work for the skilled and
training for those who need it
through its network of voca-
tional schools. • Integration into
the economy of the land is per-
formed by the Histadrut and its
institutions.
I attended a reception given by
the General Staff of the Israeli
Army and conveyed the greet-
ings of American Jewry and
labor movement to Prime Min-
ister David Ben Gurion and his
cabinet.
BB Dining Room Selected
As Vet Hospital Model
LYONS, N. J.—A complete din-
ing room in a neuro-psychiatric
hospital of the Veterans Admin-
tration, painted and equipped by
Bnai Brith men and women of
Northern New Jersey, has had
such beneficial effect on the
patients that, it has been recom-
mended as a model for mental
hospitals for disabled veterans.

Israeli Prestige
LAKE SUCCESS:—There was always high regard at UN head,.
quarters for Moshe Shertok, even back in the days when he repre-
sented a stateless people. In 1947, when the battle for Palestine first
began in UN precincts, Shertok was commander-in-chief for the
Jewish Agency and his ability as negotiator and epositionist singled
him out as one of the most brilliant diplomats on the scene. But all
are agreed—press, UN personnel, delegations—that Mr. Shertok has
grown even more in stature since he took over the Fcireign Ministry
of the Provisional Government' of Israel. The judicious statements
issued by the Provisional Government of Israel in the foreign policy
field, its conduct with regard to, the UK and Count Bernadotte, its
well thought out moves in the many crises that have faced it since
the day of its inception, its firm self-assertion minus all arrogance,
have made it the envy of many bigger states, whose diplomats have
fumbled where Israel has pursued a consistent line. If only the State
Department would show as much sagacity as the Israel Foreign
Office seems to be possessed of, observers here say.
Dixiecrats Turn Down G. L. K. Smith
G. L. K. Smith and other hateists converged on Philadelphia dur-
ing the Republican and Democratic conventions, but delegates
shunned them like the Black Plague. When the Dixiecrats broke
away from the Democratic Party and called their rump convention,
G. L. K. Smith sought to clamber up on the bandwagon. But the
Dixiecrats' Presidential nominee, South Carolina's Governer J. Strom
Thurmond, stepped on him, good and hard. "We do not invite and we
do not need the support of Gerald L. K. Smith," he announced.
Head of Americans for Haganah
Disputes Dissolution by Agency
NEW YORK, (JTA)—The de-
cision to dissolve the Americans
for HIganah, which will remain
in existence until Oct. 1, and
create a new Americans United
for Israel "with a broader scope
for activity" was a "completely
autonomous' decision and in no
way connected with any ukase
of the Jewish Agency or the
Zionist Organization of Ameri
ca," Abraham Feinberg, president
of the executive committee of
the Americans for Haganah, de-
clared.
Feinberg's statement was issu
ed in reply to a letter sent him
by the American section of the
Jewish Agency, charging that
the decision to form the Ameri-
cans United for Israel was a
"flagrant defiance of the decision
to dissolve Americans' for Hag-
anah," The statement insisted'
that "to attempt to stifle or con-
trol this new organization pure-
ly on- the grounds that it is not
authorized by official Zionist
parties, or by the Government of
Israel is' a violation of every
basic right which , we have as
Americans.' '
Feinberg also pointed out
that the. Arile/4.6anS for Haganah
was not created by virtue of any
mithrority Of the Agency or the
ZOA, but 'was formulated by
a group of Americans for a
specific purpose _ which was to
disseminate information concern-
ing Haganah and to rally sup-
port for Haganah from the Am-
erican public.
In attacking the Agency's au-
thority to order his organization
dissolved, Feinberg asserted that
the status of the Agency since
the end of the Palestine Mandate
"has not been clearly defined."
Until :the status • of the Agency
is fully determined, the state-
ment declared, the , "American
section has no right to assume
powers which have not been
_delegated to it:" Feinberg also
objected to. the American section
issuing a „statement . in the name
of the full executiv e .
