achievement due largely to the
more than $200,000,000 the JDC
spent in their behalf since liber-
ation."
Moses A. Leavitt, executive
vice-chairman of the JDC, told
the session that "the emergency
phase of the JDC's relief work
is now completed." He revealed
that more than 220,000,000 pounds
of supplies—food, clothing, med-
icines, tools, religious and cul-
tural articles—have been sent to
Europe's 1,400,000 surviving Jews
by the JDC since V-E Day.
A merger of the emigration
staffs service of the JDC and
HIAS in Germany was announced
by Leavitt. He said the merger
was affected to facilitate immi-
gration to the U.S. under the new
DP act. He described it as one
of several unifying actions the
JDC has taken in the past year to
consolidate European Jewish aid
activities.
The retirement of Paul Baer-
wald as treasurer was announced
at the meeting.

and Jewish Agency Executive
opened 'here Tuesday upon arri-
val of all members of the cabinet

TEL AVIV (JTA) — Rachel's
Tomb, hallowed for centuries
since its erection in Biblical times,
and located near Bethlehem, was
hit by a shell and is partly ruined,
a Belgian UN truce official re-
ported in Jerusalem following a
visit to Bethlehem. He said the
shell apparently came from an
Arab gun behind the Bethlehem
lines and fell short of an Israeli
target.

CHICAGO (JTA) — "We are
now well on the way to solving
the Jewish DP problem," Prof.
William. Haber, adviser on Jewish I
affairs to the American military
command in Europe, told the 34th
annual meeting of the Joint Dis-
tribiition Committee. Some 2,000
delegates from various parts of
the United States heard Prof.
Haber's "progress report," a
speech prepared by David E.
Lilienthal, chairman of the
Atomic Energy Commission, and
Edward M. M. Warburg, JDC
chairman.
Dr. Haber, who flew to the
conference from Frankfurt, de-
clared that "we are now well on
the way to the solution of the
Jewish DP problem. Although the
end is by no means in sight," he
continued, "we have crossed the
roughest part of the road me
have to travel in emptying the
DP camps."
Lilienthal, whose speech was
read for him because he was con-
fined to his home in Maryland
on account of illness, praised the
record of the JDC as an inspiring
"example and proof of human-
itarian and• ethical precepts in
action."
Warburg described the "re-
markable progress" made by the

PARIS (JTA) — A spokesman
for the American delegation to
the UN confirmed that Secretary
of State Marshall conferred over
the week-end in London "quite
lengthily" with Bevin on the
Palestine issue. At the same
time a British source admitted
indirectly that the British have
been encouraged by Anglo-
American conversations and are
ready to go ahead with their
resolution which is supported
jointly by China, providing sanc-
tions against Israel if Jews. re-
fuse to withdraw from positions
captured during recent Negev
fighting. A British spokesman
here asserted that the situation
in. Palestine continues to remain
serious and cited reports re-
ceived at Palais de Chaillot to
back up his statement. Stressing
that Security Council action was
now essential, the British repre-
sentative expressed doubts that
despite hints to this effect Rus-
sians would veto an anti-Israel
sanctions reslution.
It is clearly understood here
that Britain is going ahead with
her "get tough" attitude on Pal-
estine. British delegates believe
that the Palestine case will come
up on the political committee
agenda early next week.

The arbitration committee of
the Jewish Community Council,
under the leadership of Abraham
C. Lappin and Louis Rosenzweig,
has handled an average of one
case every two weeks during the
past year. This compares with a
total of four cases dealt with
during the previous year.
The committee's purpose is to
protect the good name of the
Jewish people by keeping out
of court any matters in dispute
which can be settled privately.
When a dispute occurs in
which Jewish persons are in-
volved it may be brought to the
attention of the committee by
any interested party. A confer-
ence is held in which the matter
is talked over in confidence and
an attempt is made to settle it
then and there.
If the parties should fail to
agree then the committee resorts
to arbitration, a private hearing
before a panel of prominent Jews
who hear both sides impartially
and render an award which is
registered with the Circuit Court
and has the same force as a court
decision.

from Jerusalem to the coastal
region alone, is estimated at $5,-
600,000.
