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 . . .
