Cougressman Sol Bloom Called by

It remains uncertain whether
the Mufti will appear personally
before the Commission or in-
stead will send delegates, a UN
spokesman stated. It was re-
vealed, however, that the Mufti
in his request described himself
as the "official representative of
the Palestine Arabs," but he
made no mention of the so-called
Palestine Arab Government of
Gaza.
Israeli political circles predict
a strong reaction to the Husseini
request on the part of King Ab-
dullah of Transjordan. While
any new element of disunity
among the Arabs may work to
the advantage of Israel, it is also
feared that new complications
might unnecessarily prolong the
present and forthcoming peace
talks between Israel and its
neighbors, other than Egypt, with
which an armistice agreement
has already been concluded.
The UN subcommission extend-
ed invitations to testify on Jer-
usalem to the city's Mayor, Dan-
iel Auster, Israeli District Com-
missioner Avraham Bergman and
the old city's Arab Mayor.

TEL AVIV, (JTA)—Mapai on
Monday night issued a last min-
ute appeal to Mapam asking the
latter to reconsider its decision
to remain outside the Cabinet,
Mapai replied to Mapam's criti-
cism on which it based its de-
cision not to enter the coalation
on the ground that Israel's par-
ticipation in the Marshall Plan
and the Mediterranean Alliance
are impractical. Mapai stated that
there is no difference between
the two parties on internal pol-
icy.
A new epoch for Israel opened
when Prime Minister David Ben-
Gurion brought the state's pro-
gram before the first elected
Cabinet for approval by Knesset
Israel. The program includes
planks for the foreign and inter-
nal constructive policy.
The 120. members of the Knes-
set assembled Tuesday in the
newly-arranged meeting hall in
the former Cinema Seaside Hotel.
The stage was decorated with
emblems of the 12 Tribes. Special
arrangements were made for the
Arab delegates to listen to the
proceedings through special ear-
phones for instant translations of
discussions.

NEY YORK, (JTA)—The Ro
manian government closed the
local branch of the Joint Distribu-
tion Committee. The JDC's of-
fices were officially sealed, the
report said.

Committee, this nation lost one
of its most colorful political lead-
ers.
Congressman Bloom rose to
great prominence
through • his de-
termined efforts
to succeed in
life. He was the
son of poor im-
migrant parents,
was on the stage
in his early boy-
hood, later was
in _the real es-
tate and insur-
ance business.
Rep. Bloom
He Was a real
showman in every way. He dram-
atized all that he did, loved a
good joke and told many where-
ever he could, went out of his
way to do a friend a favor.
In the battle for Jewish state-
hood, he played one of the lead-
ing roles, especially in his key
position in the House of -Repre-
sentatives.
He delivered his last public ad-
dress on Feb. 20, at the luncheon
meeting of the American Associ-
ation of English-Jewish News-
papers at the Willard Hotel in
Washington, at which the editors
and publishers celebrated the
100th anniversary of the English-
Jewish Press in America. At
that time he spoke of his deep
interest in Jewish affairs and of
his close association with Presi-
dent Truman in the battle for
freedom for Israel.
President Truman, Speaker of
the House Rayburn, Republican
as well as Democratic leaders
joined in paying tribute to Rep.
Bloom's memory.
Truman's Tribute
The following message was sent
by President Truman to Vera
Bloom, daughter of the late Con-
gressman Bloom:
"I am shocked and saddened
by the sudden and unexpected
death of your distinguished fath-
er. His untimely passing on the
eve of his 79th birthday is a loss
to the state of New York and to
the nation.
"Fourteen consecutive elections
to the House of Representatives
bear eloquent witness to the fi-
delity of his service and the con-
fidence and affection of his con-
stituents.
"As a member and twice chair-
man of the great Committee on
Foreign Affairs he was a tower
