McGrath Irked at
Oponents ~ of His
Church-State Stand

NEW YORK, (AJP)—Attorney
General J. Howard McGrath,
under fire from national Jewish

ATTORNEY GENERAL
McGRATH

and Protestant spokesmen for a
recent statement decrying the
traditional separation of church
and state, refused to reverse his
stand and instead referred to
his opponents as "people without
a cause who are.just looking for
an argument."
McGrath made the , statement
during an • interview with an
American Jewish Press reporter,
after "a speech by McGrath at
the annual dinner of the law-
yers' division of the United Jew-
ish Appeal of Greater New York.
Asked to comment on a de-
mand by Leo Pfeffer, associate
general counsel for the Ameri-
can Jewish Congress, that he
apologize for his stand before
the National Catholic Educa-
tional Association on March 30
that "if anything, the church
and state must not have any
fence between them," McGrath
turned to an_ aide and retorted,
"Who is this Pfeffer and why
should I answer him?"
The aide shrugged his shoul-
ders and later claimed that
Pfeffer had misunderstood Mc-
Grath.
Showing not the slightest sign
of seriously considering a public
apology, McGrath sidestepped
comment on an editorial by the
Christian Century, a Protestant
publication, which called upon
McGrath to resign and demand-
ed that President Truman re-
move him if he did not resign.

Eyes on Germany -

The British government is viewing with concern the rise of
neo-Nazism in Germany. The British Cabinet, I learn on good
authority, will appoint a three-man commission to examine the
problem of restitution Of property to Nazi victims. Many com-
plaints have been received and the British government wants to
ensure a just and equitable arrangement before the occupation
status is scuttled. The Commission will consist of A. L. Easter-
man, political director in Europe of the World Jewish Congress,
Professor Norman Bentwich and Judge O'Sullivan. The composi-
tion of the commission vouchsafes its effectiveness.

Niles in the Limelight

David K. Niles, who quit last week after serving 15 years as
Presidential assistant, was intimately associated with the Ameri-
can Jewish Committee. For years he regularly attended the Fri-
day luncheon meetings of a subcommittee which was in charge
of investigating subversive activities. His attachment to the AJC
greatly enhanced the organization's prestige and influence. Rob-
ert S. Allen in his book Washington Merry-Go-Round dubbed
Niles the portable wailing wall. Niles, the Boston-born son of a
Jewish immigrant tailor, took great interest in the Palestine prob-
lem. Israel is deeply grateful to him. Two years ago he gave one
of his many friends a letter of introduction to Prime Minister
David Ben-Gurion. because of this letter his friend was the
recipient of many attentions. Replying to the letter Ben-Gurion
asked Niles when he can be expected to come to Israel. Now at
last he will be able to go to Israel where he can count on getting
a royal reception. Vicious Pegler has for years been attacking
Niles and Supreme Court Justice Frankfurter as the most power-
ful coterie in the White House. And the lunatic fringe, 'the reac-
tionaries and the anti-Semates have called him the "Jew in the
White House." Two Hearstian Jews, Jack Lait and Lee Mortimer,
in their book Washington Confidential, aped the Peglerist bluff_
about Niles being the real ruler of the country. Allen, however,-
poohpoohs the idea that Niles had any influence in the White
House. Niles, incidentally, played an important role in the estab-
lishment of Brandeis University at Waltham, Mass. Born Neihaus
some 58 years ago, he has /deep attachment to things Jewish. In
the days when he could get away to New York from official duties,
he would visit typically Jewish sections and dine in Jewish
restaurants on the East Side. His resignation has set off anew a
wave of bitter tirades by his detractors and Jew haters.

Orchids

We have on occasions blasted the State Department. Now we
come to praise it. The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, we have it from
highly authoritative sources, is going out of its way to help the
Jews in Iraq. There has been no other instance in which the
State Department has exerted itself on behalf of non-American
groups as in the case of the Jews in Iraq. This is being greatly .
appreciated in. Jewish circles familiar with the efforts.

'Israel Arabs Have Higher Standard "
Of Living Than in Surrounding Towns

By ADA OREN

(Copyright, 1951, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc.)

TEL AVIV — It is officially
held that a sudden jump in the
Israeli Arab standard of living
which is higher than that of
Arabs in most surrounding coun-
tries, is bound to undo Israel's
efforts to get the Arab refugees
resettled outside its boundaries.
Such Arabs suffer from our
present shortages, whose system
of controls compels Arab vil-
lagers to surrender their agricul-
tural produce at official prices,
while keeping them from com-
peting for industrial consumer
goods by restricting their move-
ments and' issuing them fewer
clothing coupons than their
Jewish neighbor s, on the
grounds that they never needed
as much and are selling their
coupons in the black market.

Two reasons given by the
Histadrut for sanctioning
lower *ages and prices for
Arabs are. the contributions
deducted from Jewish pay en-
velopes for Jewish national
enterprises and the fact that
the Arab population is as yet
unprepared to relieve the Jew-
ish. taxpayer of even a part of
the expenses for Arab social
services, although a consider-
able proportion of the local
Arabs could assume such bur-
dens.

While Arab unemployment is
much lower than in newly set-
tled Jewish localities, it still ex-
ceeds the rate among the es-
tablished Jewish population. Un-
employed Arabs are registered in
special exchanges sponsored by

the Ministry of Labor, which are
too few for the job.
Arab workers have not yet

been accepted into any Jewish
labor union, all of which con-
sider theinselves tools for the
implementation of Z i o n i s m.
They have the choice of join-
ing a Histadrut - s p o n s ored
union for Arabs, a new Chris-
tian union, or the Communist-
dominated Arab Workers Con-
gress.

Ask President to Remove
Ban on Huleh Drainage

NEW YORK — The American
Zionist Council appealed to
( President Truman to rectify the
injustice of the UN Security
Council's resolution which
ordered Israel to suspend recla-
mation" of the Huleh swamps,
Louis Lipsky, chairman of the
Council, announced. •
The Council urged the Presi-
dent to instruct the U. S. Dele-•
gation to the United Nations "to
ensure that. Israel will be per-
mitted without delay to resume
her construction land reclama-
tion program, free from threat
and attack by the adjacent Arab
States." It recorded "its deep
indignation and profound re-
gret" that the U. S. delegation
"haS surrendered the purposes
and principles of the United Na-,
tions Charter to Arab aggres-
sion." It accused the U.S. Dele-
gation of yielding to the violence
of Syria and the threats of the
Arab League by sponsoring the
resolution.
