m! UN C allenged to Force End of
rab Attacks or Let Isra Do It

(Direct JTA Teletype Wires to The Jewish News)
JERUSALEM (JTA).—Day-to-day shelling of the Holy

City by Egyptian troops has increased the tension here on
the eve of the tenth week of the UN Security Council truce.
The death of eight Jews on Monday and the murder of two
school children on Tuesday which was generally considered
"a queit day" has forced renewal of demands in the press
and in Jewish circleS that the UN either: prevent the Arabs
from violating the truce or permit the Israeli, army to do it.
One report circulating here states that the Israeli army has
presented the Arabs with an ultimatum to cease their shell-
ing or face the consequences of direct Jewish action..
Dr. Bernard Joseph, military governor of Jerusalem,
discussed with Gen. A.-G. E. Lundstroem and' Geri. William
Riley of the UN mediators' staff • the. evacuation of Arab
troops from areas seized during the truce and -the protection
of Jewish personnel working at -the Latrun water pumping
station. Dr. Joseph pointed out ,that the Egyptians had set
up a new string of fortified positions adjoining the Red Cross
enclave in the southern -outskirts of the city and that the
Arab Legion troops illegally occupying a position on Mount
Zion had not cleared off as ordered by the UN: He also
emphasized that the UN must carry out its pledges to replace
the Jewish personnel now on duty under the UN on demili-
tarized Mount Scopus.
The UN mediators said that the Arab Legion has agreed
to the proposal for the protection of. Jewish technicians as-
signed to duties at the Latrun water station in Arab con-
trolled territory.
Bartley C. Crum, former. Member of the joint Anglo-
American Committee of Inquiry on Palestine and publisher

From Slavery to Freedom:

Last year's heroic saga of the 4,000
Jewish refugees aboard the "Exodus, 1947" (below) brought home to the entire world the bitter
plight of Europe's homeless and displaced Jewish survivors. Today, one year later, Jewish refugees
seeking a new life in the Jewish homeland no longer face barred doors. Israel, the first free and
independent Jewish Republic in more han 2,000 years, bids them welcome (above). In 5709, American
Jewry must carry through historic tasks of mass im migration and resettlement and reconstruction of

Europe's surviving Jews through the $250,000,000 United Jewish Appeal.

On the eve of Rosh Hashanah, the Jews of Detroit are asked to make immediate payments on
their 1948 Allied Jewish Campaign pledges in order to provide the necessary funds to carry on the

work undertaken by the UJA in Israel, in DP camps and on Cyprus and in support of emigrants from

Europe destined for this country. A concerted effort to collect outstanding sums on 1948 pledges
will be made at the meeting of the Women's Division of the Jewish Welfare Federation next Wednes-
day at the Art Institute. The men of the community similarly are asked to mail their checks at once.
