r • Rabbi Zvi Hirsh Cohen Dies; Was Dean of Canada's Rabbis Marshall Emphasizes Role of Jews In Helping Defeat Hitler's Armies NEW YORK, (JTA)—Admira- tion for Israel's achievements during its three years of exist- ence despite the great difficul- ties which the country faces was expressed by General George C. Marshall, Secretary of Defense, at the $500-plate dinner at the Waldorf - Astoria attended by 1,500 persons celebrating the 76th birthday of President Chaim Weizmann of Israel and the third anniversary of the United Nations Palestine parti- tion decision, which led to the creation of Israel. The dinner was sponsored by the American Committee for the Hebrew University, Weizmann Institute of Science, and Haifa Technion, which is currently conducting -a campaign to raise $5,500,000 in the United States. Secretary Marshall compared the difficulties faced by the United States during the first three years of its existence with those now faced by Israel. He expressed the conviction t hat the Jewish state will grow and develop and be of help even to the neighboring Arab countries. He paid high tribute to the role which the Jews in Palestine played in the Allied armies, helping to defeat the Nazis in the Middle East. He especially emphasized the dangerous mis- sions which Palestine Jewish parachutists carried out behind Nazi lines during the war. Mr. Marshall's speech w a s termed by Israel Ambassador Abba Eban as an expression of friendly relations between the Jewish state and the United States. Ambassador Eban noted that the Secretary of Defense took • the time to address the dinner despite the crucial inter- national situation which keeps Mr. Marshall extremely busy with matters of great concern to the United States. "Nov. 29, 1947, marks t h e classic turning-point in the for- tunes of Israel," Ambassador Eban said. "Before that date we achieved no victories. Since that date we have suffered no de- feats. Before the establishment • Emergency Controls Extended for 6 Months . The Israel Parliament h a s passed a bill extending the Man- datory Government's Emergency Defense Regulations for another six months, thus giving the gov- ernment legal authority for price, import and export con- trols and rationing of essential items. The extension had been re quested by Minister of Justice Pinhas Rosen, who said that government - drafted legislation' to cover the 'same areas would require at least six months of discussion and debate in Parlia- ment before it could be passed and put into effect. A bill establishing the normal work week was sent back to the legal committee for a second reading. The bill provides that Saturday shall be official day of rest for Jews, while non-Jews shall be guaranteed a day of rest either on Friday or Sunday. The Minister of Labor is em powered by the bill to make ex- ceptions in the case of essen- tial services. Shaarey Zedek Holds Late Hanukah Service This Friday, at 8:15 p.m., Cong.
