His profanity was directed against Jews and Israel . . . Both Attlee and Morrison are disgusted with the venom he has been displaying toward the Jewish state . . It is feared at 10 Downing Street that Bevin may go so far as to "create an incident" involving the open use of British might in Palestine . . . The recent British charge of an Israeli incursion into Transjordan and the fanfare about the British plane alleged to have been shot down over Israel betray Bevin's pattern . Bevin's alignment with reaction and reactionary elements in the Arab states is a source of deep concern to sincere ictealists in the British Labor Party . . .

Enroute to U. S., Israel , WASHINGTON , (JTA).—Sen. Alexander Wiley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, in a statement to the press, as- serted that "beyond the shadow of a doubt," the new Congress will amend the present DP law to remove "its administrative snarls and iron out its inequi- ties." The Judiciary Committee handles displaced persons ques- tions. The Senator also made public a letter he received a few days ago from Ugo Carusi, chairman of the Displaced Persons Com- mission, in which the latter points 'out that the complexity of the DP immigration law is one of the chief factors holding up progress in the program. Carusi also sharply attacked the dis- puted "cut-off" date in the law— which makes only those DP's who entered the refugee camps before Dec. 22, 1945, eligible for admission to the U. S., and thus bars thousands of Polish Jews who fled Poland to -the U. • S. zone in Germany soon after the . . outbreak' of post-war progroms in Poland. Sen. Wiley listed five -goals which he said should "remain among the most important ones in our future displaced persons policy." They are: 1. Fulfillment of our humanitarian responsi- bilities to the displaced persons, "irrespective of race, creed or national origin"; 2. Re-uniting of relatives and kin; 3. Adeauate screening "against the possible infiltration of Soviet agents and subversize-minded individuals;" 4. Advancing -the national wel- fare by trying to bring in per- sons who can fill manpower shortages in key job specialties; and, 5. Fullest cooperation with church, citizens and other groups seeking homes and jobs for the DPs "to avoid unnecessary de- lays and prevent dislocation among our own citizens." Jewish Informer Hanged WARSAW (JTA)—Isidof Sil- biger, reputedly the most feared Jewish informer in a number of Nazi concentration camps dur- ing the war, was hanged in Bytom for his war crimes. USE OUR CLASSIFIEDS THEY BRING RESULTS! - NEW YORK—In- the largest monthly emigration movement since the end of the war, 15,618 Jewish men", women and chil- dren left Europe for Israel, the United States and other lands during November, it was report- ed by Moses A. Leavitt, executive vice-chairman of - the Joint Dis- tribution Committee. JDC assist- ed the migrants on their journey, paying for almost all passages and providing food, clothing and in transit medical care. JDC emigration officials in Europe estimated that the emi- gration xate during December would be even greater. If realized, this would raise the number of JDC-aided emigrants during 1948 to more than 100,000. ift Robes Do You Know ?
