Status of Self-Rule Is Demanded
By Council; to Submit Own Slate
Of Federation Board Candidates

Ratifying the position taken by the executive commit-
tee of the Jewish Community Council in its protest against
the Jewish Welfare Federation's decision to rule on the
type of activities the Council is to engage in, the Council's
Delegate Assembly, at an overflow meeting Jan. 31 at the
Davison Center, decided to sponsor an amendment to the
Federation constitution to protect the Council's self-gov-
erning character.
The delegates' assembly also decided to nominate
candidates to the Federation's board of governors to be
backed by the Council's constituent organizations at the
_ annual Federation meeting on March 4 at the Wood-
ward Jewish Center.
. Another resolution adopted by the assembly, presented
by Rabbi Samuel Prero, called upon the Federation "to
rectify the tense situation created by the Federation in its
attempt to attach certain conditions to the approval of the
budget of the Council, such conditions attempting to de-
limit or to exclude certain program activities included in
the Council's constitution."
The resolution ratifying the Council executive com-
mittee's stand in protest against the Federation's position
was submitted by Charles Goldstein of Temple Israel who
stated he was acting in his own and not in his group's be-
half. It classified4be Council as "an autonomous and self-
governing body" and as "the sole and only body vested
with the right and duty of initiating, developing and car-
rying out its program of activities, and of modifying its
program as conditions may require."
The Federation was not represented by spokesmen at
the assembly, but Ben Kramer warned against the adop-

tion of this resolution and six votes were cast against it.

Rubiner
Deplores
Decisions

Samuel H. Rubiner, pres-
ident of the Jewish Welfare
Federation, in a statement
to The Jewish News, corn-
mented as follows on the
action of the Community
Council on Jan. 31:

"The organized Jew-
ish community of De-
t r o i t, through Federa-
tion, has developed over
the years an orderly
procedure for fair con-
sideration in planning
for the essential services
at home and abroad that
we all support together.
"I regret any proposal,
particularly by an or-
ganization affiliated
with Federation, to dis-
regard this procedure
and I can see it serving
no constructive purpose.
"Nothing must be per-
mitted to interfere with
our working together in
Federation's great and
continuing responsibility
for financing programs
included in the. Allied
Jewish Campaign."

JERUSALEM — It would be better that the United
Nations should stop its efforts to find a solution of the
Palestine problem and let the parties concerned find a
path to peace by themselves, Israel's Foreign Minister
Moshe Sharett Monday night told Israel Parliament in a
report on results of the current session of the UN General.
Assembly which is drawing to a close in Paris.

Mr. Sharett pointed out that with the UN Palestine Coun-
ciliation Commission's confession of failure to reconcile the Arab
states and Israel the world organization was left with but two
jobs in relation to Palestine—the supervision of the armistice
agreements and the finding of a solution for the Arab refugee
problem. He stressed that the solution 'of this problem did not
lie in the return of the refugees to Israel.
He also emphasized that the lessons taught by this session
of the General Assembly was that Israel must hasten to strength-
en its ties with the neighboring countries as well as the states of
Asia and the rest of the world. He insisted that recent develop-
ments pertaining to the major powers dictate that Israel'i for-.
eign policy must be one of guarding that no harm should come
to Israel as a result of the great world conflict.
Winding up the four-hour debate which followed Mr. Shar-
ett'S report, Premier David Ben-Gurion reiterated Israel's policy
of complete independence in foreign policy. Replying to a Gen-
eral Zionist critic who had scored the Israeli delegation for vot-
ing against the United States on several matters before the UN,
the Premier declared, "we are not and we will not be subjected
to the United • States despite our gratitude and long standing
friendship."

Form Children's Village in Sen. Lehman' s Honor
CAMBOUS, France—A children's village where 1,5100 boys

and girls will train each year for life on Israel's soil was dedi-
cated here Tuesday in honor of S. Senator Herbert H. Lehman.
Officials representing the American, French and Israel govern-
ments attended the dedication ceremonies.
Funds for the project approximating $250,000 were provided
by the Joint Distribution Committee. The sum includes support
for a second children's training center located near Marseilles
where 1,000 Jewish youngsters are prepared annually for life in
Israel. The village is administered by Youth Aliyah and houses
250 boys and girls at a time. Ranging in -ages from 13 to 16, they
receive instruction in Hebrew, geography, Israel history and ag-
riculture. They farm plots totaling 50 acres and raise their own
fruits and vegetables. After two months of training, the youths
leave for Israel where they are assigned to Youth Aliyah institu-
tions and agricultural settlements.
