Mass. Labor Assails
Arab Discrimination
SPRINGFIELD, Mass., (JTA)
—An unusual combination of
trade unionists joined at the
Massachusetts Federation of
Labor convention to win pass-
age of a <resolution hitting at
Arab discrintination against
American citizens of the Jewish
faith. The resolution, which also
scored the State Department for
acquiescence in such a policy -
"in utter violation of funda-
mental American principles . of
religious liberty and equality of
citizenship," was drawn under
the guidance of the Jewish
Labor Committee.
The 700 delegates unanimous-
ly passed the resolution calling
upon "the President, the Con-
gress, and the State Depart-
ment to reject any treaty or ex-
ecutive agreements which shall .
permit other governments to
forbid the advantages of travel,
trade, employment or service
to their nation to American
citizens because of their race
or religious affiliation."
Own Geiger Counters
Produced by Israel
NEW YORK, (JTA) — The
first Geiger counters ever to be
produced in quantity in Israel
are now being manufactured at
the Technion, Israel Institute of
Technology, it was announced
by the American Society for
the Technion. The Geiger coun-
ters, which detect nuclear radia-
tion, are being used at the Tech-
nion for cosmic ray 'experi-
ments, the announcement said.

from abroad, they have a limited

a forceful and picturesque fig'-
ure in Labor Zionism vanishes
from the American scene. I
came to know Zuckerman at
the beginning of the century
and our paths crossed on many
occasions, especially in times
of crisis and calamity when all
groups in American Jewry were
forced to unite for common
action.
We first met when our good
friend was foreman of a print-
ing plant which printed various
small Jewish periodicals. Among
these was Dos Yiddishe Folk, the
weekly Yiddish organ of the
old Federation of Amer ican
Zionists.
I really belonged to the Eng-
lish or Goyishe Jewish press
to which I graduated from the
American or general daily news-
papers, having worked for them
quite happily both in Boston and
New York. After 1904, when I
became a Zionist, however, I
was destined to share in the
struggles and sufferings of our
people at any rate to know more
about the meaning of life. For
about one year, 1906-07, Jacob
de Haas and myself grappled
with the perilous task of issuing
a weekly English-Jewish paper
without sufficient means or sup-
port. It was called the Chronicle
and was devoted to the cause of
Zion and the idea of democracy
as applied to Jewish life.
The Chronicle was a dis-
astrous, almost destructive en-
terprise, but de Haas, who was
later to become the first lieuten-
ant of Louis D. Brandeis as
