LONDON (jTA) —Tr ansj ordan
haS no claim on the new city of
Jerusalem, King Abdullah de-
-dared in an interview with a
correspondent of the London
Times in Amman.
He said the Transjordan dele-
gation, 'now in Rhodes to open
armistice talks with Israel, would
be authorized to effect comprom-
ises, but would be adamant on
never yielding the Old City of
Jerusalem to Israel. There is no
justification, he added, for inter-
nationalization of the Old City
since Transjordan is ready to
give access to the Holy Places to
Jews and Christians alike.
Abdullah declared that any
Transjordan delegation at Rhodes
Will speak also for Iraq. Trans-
jordan is prepared to consider an
- economic union with Israel, he
added.
Regarding the Middle East as a
whole, King Abdullah said he
favored the reconstitution of an.
Arab alliance "from Aqaba to
Basra" (in Iraq). In war he
would welcome an Arab Anglo-
United States alliance, but in
peace American participation is
unnecessary since Britain is the
traditional ally of the Arabs, he
concluded.

Labor Committee Acclaims
Histadrut, Assails DP Law

ATLANTIC CITY (JTA)—The
seventh biennial convention of
the Jewish Labor Committee
adopted a budget of $1,850,000
for 1949, of which $500,000 will
be used for civic defense pro-
grams. The 600 delegates attend-
ing the four-day meeting also re-
elected Adolph Held as national
chairman; David Dubinsky, treas-
urer; Joseph Baskin, secretary;
Jacob Pat, executive secretary;
Nathan Chanin, chairman of the
administrative committee; and
Benjamin Tabachnisky, national
campaign director.
The convention adopted a reso-
lution extending its "fraternal
greetings to _ President Weizmann,
the Histadrut and the population
of Israel" and voiced the hope
that "a period of peace and pros-
perous construction" will, now be-
gin for the new state. "We ex-,
press our unshaken conviction
that the future relationship be-
tween Israel and the Jewish corn-
munities throughout the world
will continue uninterruptedly for
mutual creativeness," the resolu-
tion added..
Other resolutions adopted at
the parley included one denounc-
ing the present displaced persons
immigration law "as a legislative
monstrosity doing irreparable in-
jury to America's international
reputation" and another which
provides for the establishment of
a chair in labor history at the
Hebrew University in Jerusalem

as a token of esteem to Abraham
Cahan.
• Earlier, Israeli Ambassador
Eliahu Elath (Epstein) told the
convention that "it is our sincere
desire to preserve and strengthen
friendly relations with both the
United States arid the Soviet
Union as well as with other peace-
-loving nations."
Herve J. L'Heureux, chief of
the viia division of the State
Department, asserted that mem-
bership in the German Army or
Nazi party will no longer be suf-
ficient reason to bar the entry of
a German applicant for admission
to the United States. He revealed
that U. S. consular and diplomatic
officers abroad have been under
orders since April, 1948, not - to
bar Germans because of "mere
voluntary enlistment in the Ger-
man Army or for joining the
Nazi Party."
- David Dubinsky, president of
the International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union, pledged the aid
of the American Jewish labor
movement to Israel.

Twenty-Third Annual Meeting

JEWISH WELFARE FEDERATION OF DETROIT

The Guest Speaker

Dr. Haber, who will deliver the
principal address of the meeting
at the evening session, has be-
corne well-known to Detroiters in
a variety of capacities—as a
leading professor of economics
at the University of Michigan;
as director of the Division of
Manpower Liaison and. Coordina-
tion for the Office of War Mo-
bilization; as first executive di-
rector of National Refugee Serv-
ice; as Administrator of the State
Emdrgency Welfare Commission
and, recently, as Advisor on Jew-
ish. Affairs to General Lucius Clay
in Europe.

Making the chief presentation
at the health and welfare serv-
ices- forum will be Maurice A.
Enggass, who : will consider • what
steps the community should take
for further development of recre-
ational, health and child-care fa-
cilities, as well as increased .sum-
mer camping programs. At the
same session, discussion will cover
the question of North End Clin-
ic's relationship to the Jewish
Hospital and the priority for a
treatment home for children.
Whether it is possible for De-
troit to .move more actively in
the -direction of a communal
Jewish • school incorporating the
programs of the present smaller
schools will be one of the points
for. discussion at the educational
and cultural session, at which
Henry Meyers will make a re-
port. Another provocative ques•
tion to be considered is whether
the Jewish .community is ready
to accept financial responsibility
even on a small subsidy basis,
for an all-day school program.
Mrs. Julian H. Krolik will be
the moderator a the community
relations forum where Federation
members and representatives of
the Jewish Community Council
will examine the most recent
developments in Jewish and non-
Jewish relations, as well as dis-
cuss whether the Detroit com-
munity is spending enough—or
too much—in the field of inter-
group relations.
