WASHINGTON — The Anti-
Jewish philosophy of Ernest
Bevin, the late British Foreign
Minister, is being revived by
James F. Byrnes who, as U.S.
Secretary of State, dealt with
Bevin on the Palestine issue.
Allegations about U.S. voters
of Jewish faith and Americar•
policy toward Palestine charac-
terized Bevin's fight against
Jewish aspirations. His deroga
tory references to the American
Jewish community and Presi-
dent Truman caused the White
House to describe the Bevin
'outbursts as "unfortunate and
misleading."
Byrnes also served on the
U.S. Supreme Court and as Gov-
erno• of South Carolina. He is
widely respected in the South.
But he recently saw fit to in-
ject Bevin-like views into the
context of remarks on the racial
segregqtion issue.
