Better Equipment Con
Be Used on Base Day
Trips, Companies Say

Most bus companies in the WASH
ington area reported today that the
Wednesday order of the Office of De-
fense Transportation removing the
3,000-mile-a-month limitation on
city buses placed in service in the
last nine months would permit the
use of the new and better equip
ment on base day schedules where
needed.
The companies explained that be-
cause of the mileage limitation it
was necessary to restrict the use of
the new equipment to morning and
evening rush hours.
While the revised order states
that "the mileage does not entitle
operators to additional fuel allot-
ments for fleets under certificates of
war necessity" it was explained that
if an operator needed additional
gasoline because of todays order it
would be necessary to handle each
case on the basis of individual
merit"
Older Buses Need Repairs.
ODT officials said that the lifting
Of the limitations, subject to imme-
date cancellation as conditions
change, was due primarily to the
fact that older buses. having been
kept in service beyond the time Of
normal retirement, are becoming
less and less available for steady
use, due largely to the lack of re-
pair parts.
Capital Transit officials said that
new orders would make it possible
to use large buses released by ODT
during the middle of the day "if it
was found necessary"
The Arnold-operated bus line
serving Virginia suburbs said that
they would use the new buses "a
little more" adding that the 5000
miles had proven sufficient for rush
hours. 1t also will make it possible
ito catch up on repair work on
older Buses" an official said The
Alexandria, Bancroft & Washing
ton line has for some time sought
lifting of the limitation because of
its need for more buses.
Adds Better Equipment.
Several officials of the Arlington
& Fairfax line, who said they had
not yet seen the order, predicted it
would mean the use of better equip
ment on base day schedules. At
present they said that the new
equipment was being used only dur
ing rush hours. The Washington,
Maryland & Annapolis line said
they had no buses affected by the
order.
Intercity buses have been restricted
to 5000 miles month. In the Nation
as a whole, 2,737 buses have been
affected by the limitations. These
buses were released for essential
transportation under agreements
which preserved them as an ODT
bus pool" ODT officials said these
regulations remain:
l. They can be reassigned to any
place in the country where a greater
.. need arises.
2. Monthly reports of the mileage
and major maintenance for each
bus must be filed.

I'm afraid-by asking if he liken-
ed the Jews of Palestine to the
Untouchables of India, to which
he gave a rather evasive reply.
But he went on to tell me that
inasmuch as mot all the Jews of
the world could ever get into Pal
estine" Where had I heard this
before? p, it was, therefore, neces-
sary to look for other lands in
which to settle them.

but I haven't a doubt that there,
too. they will be expected to leave

Restraining myself with diff
Guilty, I asked him if he really
meant what he had just said, and
when he emphatically shook his
head, Yes" 1 asked him how he
would like to live in Hitler's Ger
many even after the war. 1 asked
him if he didn't realize that Ger
many and Austria would still be
suffering from "Hitlerism' long
after Hitler would be done away
with. But this. too, he simply
ignored-he just didn't listen to
my question.
Then, wanting to get the inter-
view over with speedily, I started
to talk about my visit to Sosua,
in the Dominican Republic, late
last November. Whereupon he
rang a bell and asked that Mr..
Kullman, his assistant, be sent in.
I'm afraid Mr.. Kullman wasn't
much of an improvement on Sir
Herbert. He, too, was not too
warmly human in his manner. Sir
Herbert introduced Mr.. Huffman
as being particularly interested in
the Sosua experiment" Mr..
Kullman, after listening to me,
turned to Sir Herbert and said,

there is malaria and some yellow
fever; we heard there aren't

reaches there. I gave him all the
arguments at my command, to
which he listened carefully
felt he was receptive. I know he
understood and sympathized with
my presentation, but he did not
commit himself to cooperate in
the augmentation of the plan.
He did tell me, however, that it
was too bad the whole idea had
been badly bungled right from the
start when it was projected into
public discussion in America as
the Jewish Army. The term
Jewish Army" had created con-
fusion in the minds of many, par
ticularly the outstanding Jewish
anti-Zionists, who feared that all
American Jewish boys would be
sent willy-nilly to fight as Jews,
not as Americans, in this Jewish
Army" It was these Jews who.
going to Washington, where they
used their influence with the auth
critics, helped to kill the whole
proposition.
Mr.. Winant deplored the fact
that the issue, that of Jewish
Fighting Force for Palestine" had
not been clearly set forth as such
from the very beginning. He fear
ed it was too late for him to try
to do anything about it. He was
certainly sympathetic to the idea
of Jewish Palestine, and he sup
plemented this with the fervent
hope that all the nations would
learn to appreciate and treat the
Jews with proper understanding,
because he considers them an as
set to every land.
And, then. offering me his SER
vices whenever I would need them,
he graciously invited me to come
again before leaving for home.
And when I returned from my
tour of the provinces, I found a
most cordial invitation to call at
the Embassy.
had a second meeting, this
time after the fall of Tobruk, so
that pointed out that Rommers
army was already in Egypt and
the danger to Palestine was cor
respondingly greater. Even then,
though he was deeply impressed
! and apparently much disturbed by
what I told him, he made no COM
mitment regarding any pressure
he might bring to bear on the SUBJ
ject of the Jewish Fighting Force.
Anthony Drexel Biddle
Mr.. Biddle, too in typical Amer
lean fashion, made me feel per-
fectly at home as he greeted me
in his office in Berkeley Square.
He, too, commented on my
daring" in coming over to
"blitzed" England at a time like
this, and he, too, wished me sue
cess in my money-raising effort.
AS it happened, he knew moth
ing whatever about the attempts
that had been made to enlist pub
lie opinion in America and Eng
land, in order to bring pressure to
bear on England to permit the
creation of Jewish Fighting
Force for Palestine. When I ex'
planned it to him, he was surprised

During my recent visit abroad
at the invitation of the Keren
Hayesod to aid its campaign in
England, I had the opportunity OF
meeting with a number of men in
public life whose views will have
a profound bearing on the future
of the Jews in the postwar world,
although with respect to some of
these men I trust that the peace
will find them gone too from the
public scene.
Mr.. John G. Winant, the United
States Ambassador to Great Brit
ain, was the first of these diplo-
mats 1 called on. It was through
his kindness that I was enabled to
meet such men as Viscount Gran
borne, Colonial Secretary, Mr..
Anthony Drexel Biddle. Ambassa-
dor to the exiled governments in
London, Mr.. David Grey, Ameri-
can Minister to Fire, and others.
MY first objective was to sound
out these men on Palestine, for to
my mind that is the key to the
settlement of the postwar prob
lens for the Jews of Europe. But
in the course of our conversations,
it was inevitable that we should
touch upon various aspects of the
Jewish problem.
Whether it was tthe fact that I,
an American, instinctively felt
myself quite at home in the
American Embassy or whether it
was the quiet calm of Mr.. Win
ants voice as he came forward
to greet me, I felt myself in the
presence of a sympathetic friend
the minute l entered his office.
Where did 1 read the description
of Ambassador Winant in which
he was compared to Abraham
Lincoln in stature and appear
ance? I was impressed by the
tall figure, the massive head with
its shock of black hair, tinged
with gray at the temples, the
deep. dark, penetrating eyes un-
der heavy hrows. the slow, clear
voice-yes. he thinks carefully be-
fore he speaks, no word wasted.
After having ereecec me and af-
ter having asked the usual ques-
lions regarding my flight, my mis-
sion, ETC., he asked me if I had
had the privilege of knowing the
late Justice Louis D. Brandeis.
And when 1 assured him that I
had the rare distinction of calling
him my friend, he spoke of him
at great length with reverence and
esteem.
Then I brought up the question
of the Jewish Fighting Force for
Palestine. 1 tried to make him.

spoken to anyone in the olplo-
matte service who knew more OF
the awful plight of the Jews than
he for he had lived in Warsaw,
where, as American Ambassador

saw the stark misery OF fleeing
Jews, who, in running from Hitler
lands, had crowded into Poland on
their way to somewhere, any

I hope he will find it possible to
use his influence, when needed, for
the good of our cause.
American Minister to Fire
I visited Dublin, in neutral
Fire. where 1 was to have met
Mr.. canon de Valera, President
of Fire, as per arrangement made
for me by Mr.. Gray. However,
due to my having to fly back TO
America, had to curtafl my stay
in Dublin and so, much to my re-
gret, did not meet Mr.. de Valera.
But Mr.. Gray came to the hotel
to see me. In him found some
one who was not too ready to see
the Jewish point of view, not even
as regards the Jews claim on Pal
estine. In fact he would have 1t
that the Jews were taking" the
land away from the Arabs!
At this point corrected him by
telling him that this was abso-
lutely false-that we were not
taking" anything from anyone
that though we were going home
to the land of our fathers and our
Bible, to the land laid waste by
the Arabs, we had bought-and
were still buying every stony
mountain, every sand dune, every
swampy plain!
observed to him that people
living in glass houses shouldn't

cans surely have no clean slate

peoples land. He knew as we'll

belonged to the Indians from
whom the land was really
"takenw I asked just how many
lands the nomad Arabs must own
must destroy! And why it was
that they must have five sparsely
settled countries, the while mil
lions of Jews must remain the
homeless prosecuted wanderers
over the face of the earth.
Fortunately the subject was
changed, to that, after discussing
my mission to Dublin-that Of
collecting funds for Palestine
Mr.. Gray wished me success and
took his departure.
