Mr. Crossman, who was a member of the Anglo-American Committee . 77777r77:77, 77,T• RICHARD H. S. CROSSMAN on Palestine, recently returned from Israel where he was the guest of President Chaim Weiz- mann in Rehobot. Urging unstinted support for causes which are engaged in building Israel, Mr. Crossman especially commended Dr. Weiz- mann's efforts in the field of chemical 'research through the Weizmann Chemical Institute. Mr. Crossman stated during his visit here, which he utilized for a study of labor conditions to be described in a book he is pres- ently writing, that he is con- vinced of the need' for the settle mennin Israel of American and tritish Jews. Referring to Israel as "an elite community," Mr. Crossman said that an elite im- migration will be needed to su- pervise the vast colonization scheme in Israel and that Ameri- can, British and South African Jews provide the finest available element for this purpose. Naturally, he emphasized, such settlers would have tp give up their present citizenship _and as- sume residence in Israel. Mr. -Crossman said that the latest events in Israel served to underrtine the destructive ac- tivities of anti-Semites. Asserting that every non-Jew has been in- fected with the bacillus of anti- Semitism, he said that even the worse enemies of the Jews have respect and admiration for Israel as a •result of what had trans- pired during the past year. Mr. Crossman declared that "Israel is the focal point in the Rep. Sabath Includes Jewish Press History. In. Address to _House - In an address delivered on the floor of the .

While in -Israel, Mr. Crossman was witness to the -fact. that the places that were shot down were 10 miles' within Israeli territory and he therefore had a point in the debate' against Bevin. He : expressed confidence that British-Israeli 'relations will be good, that there will be excellent trade agreements and that Bevin won't try his old anti-Israel tricks again. Mr. and Mrs. Crossman were guests of the Detroit Service Group at dinner at the Jewish Center prior to Mr. Crossman's off-the-record address. Both guests answered questions about labor conditions in England and their impeessions of Israel.
