"Philip Nichols, the British
Ambassador in Prague, and his
recently arrived First Secretary,
Evelyn Shuckburgh, were mak-
ing energetic representations to
the Czechoslovakian Foreign
Minister, Jan Masaryk. They
also intervened with other Min-
isters in an attempt to halt the
flow of refugees whiCh, they
realized, would increase the
pressure on the British goVern-
ment to open wider the gates
of Palestine."
Jan Masaryk did not yield to
this pressure.' The BritiSh did
not open the gates wider.

people, relate the following:

JERUSALEM, ( J T A )—Mrs.
Yehudi Menuhin, wife of the
violinist, who is now appearing
in Israel, has protested against
Israel customs regulations which,
she said, made it impossible for
her to give -a gift 'to an Israeli
without "victimizing" him. In a
letter to the Jerusalem Post,
Mrs. Menuhin said that "for-
eigners such as myself, who have
been, overwhelmed by the gen-
erosity and hospitality of the
people of this valiant and cour-
ageous country" are being pre-
vented from expressing their
appreciation to their hosts be-
cause of customs duties designed
to protect local industry.
Mrs. Menuhin expressed doubt
that Israel was as yet so self-
supporting that any item sent
from abroad would compete
with local producers. She asked
whether the idea of "unsolicited
gifts," such as that which exist-
ed between England and the
United States just after the war,
might not be instituted in Israel.
She added that the "human
gesture" was being "legislated"
out of existence by highly or-
ganized sOcieties in the modern
world.
Marking 75 Years of Looking Ahead
