the latest developments in Israel.
Emphasizing that he is not pre-
dicting political failure, he never-
theless hinted that Israel may be
forced to accept Bernadotte's
plans for geographical revisions
in the new state.
"We may have to reconcile our-
selves to.a smaller area," he said,
"because we are not alone in the
world. But even if we should
lose Jerusalem, . which would be
internationalized, even if we lose
a portion of the Negev, I still
see the possibility of settling 1,-
200,000 Jews in the area setaside
for us in the guillotined Palestine,
bringing the total number of
Jews in Israel to 2,000,000."
'Lehem ... Min Hamidbar'
Mr. Greenberg said that while
in Israel he suggested to one of
the leading rabbis that he would
like to introduce a new prayer:
" . hamotzi lehem min hamid-
bar," and proceeded to explain:
"When does a desert give forth
bread? When the desert has peo-
ple who need bread and have no
other place to go." He declared
that the Arabs do not need the
Negev, that they have 50. ter=ri-
tories like the Negev which have
been neglected and that the Ne-
gev eventually must belong to
those who need it.

Collection of Jewish
Books Found in Poland
WARSAW, (JTA) — The Jew-
isl- community of Poland was
heartened by an official an-
nouncement stating that every
Jewish book, periodical and
newspaper that appeared in this
country between 1928-1939 — in
Polish, Yiddish and Hebrew—has
been found intact in the archives
of the Polish National Library.
More than 2,000 bound volumes
of 240 Jewish newspapers and
periodicals alone were discovered
in good condition.
Many Jewish authors who sur-
vived the Nazi regime and whose
works were destroyed during the
war May now be seen sitting in
the library copying from - their

these priceless volumes was made
by M. Bernstein, well-known
Jewish cultural leader. , It was

Exaggerated Optimism
NEW YORK, (JTA) — • "The
greatest danger confronting the
Zionist case at the moment is
undue complacency and exag-
gerated optimism regarding the
outcome of the political and mili-
tary struggles which are still in
progress," Dr. Emanuel Neu-
mann, president of the Zionist
Organization of _America, told a
press conference upon his return
from Israel.
Indicating that the Israeli
Government is not in a position
to tolerate such a truce indefin-
itely; the ZOA president insisted
on the withdrawal of all invad-
ing Arab forces from Palestinian
soil. "Otherwise Israel must be
driven by necessity to terminate
the truce by fighting it out—
now," he said. He emphasized
that the policy of the United
States remains "a factor of su-
preme importarice" in the Israeli
situation;

And General Motors stands for better

This is a fact made true by hard work.
General Motors puts the time and money,

Better research, better engineering, better
production methods combine to give you
better automobiles.
