RosenwaId Opposes
Creation Of Jewish
State in Palestine
BY the Associated Press.

Opposition to creation of q Jewish
state In Palestine. because it woulc
wed politics with religion" wa.
voiced today by Leasing Rosenwald
president of the American Council
for Judaism.
Mr.. Rosenwald, one-time chair
man of Sears, Roebuck a. Co. and
now . resident OF Jenkintown, Pa,
was to 60 before the House Foreign
Affairs Committee again to outline
his views on a pending resolution
under which the United States
would be asked to use its good Of
fices so that immigration of Jew.
into Palestine might not be halted
March 81, 1914, In accord with a
British white paper of 1899.
Mr.. Rosenwald was in full agree
nent with that part of the resolu-
ton calling for lifting of the gates
so that oppressed Jews Of Europe
might enter Palestine. But he ex-
pressed belief that there should be
no insistence that continuing of i'm
migration also would allow the Jew
ish people ultimately to make of
Palestine a free and democratic
Jewish commonwealth.
His organization, newly formed,
he said, but with $500 active men,
bers already, wants Palestine in
dependent with all citizens, Jews,
Mohammedans and Christians,
equally represented"
we oppose the effort" he added
"to establish a national Jewish state
in Palestine or anywhere else as a
philosophy of defeatism, and one
which does not offer a practical
solution of the Jewish problem"
DR.. Israel GoldStein, president of
the Zionist Organization of Amer
lea. which Is for continued immigra-
tion into Palestine, plus the Jewish
state there, told the committee yes
terdAy that any dissenting voices
to that position. be they ever so
loud or oft repeated or emanating
from men Of ever such great wealth
or high social position must
always be evaluated in their true
proportion, namely, as representing
less than 10 per cent of American
Jewry."

Arnold Declares

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. CUP) =
Superfortresses which raided For
moSa twice in the past 48 hours
encountered almost no enemy air
opposition, due to earlier attacks
on the island by navy carrier planes,
General Henry H. Arnold said Mon
day.
Reconnaissance photographs of
the October Ia mission revealed that
all air strips in the target area were
inoperable due to bomb damage,
while at least so destroyed and dam
aged planes were observed on the
ground.
The B-29's Arnold said, enjoyed
freedom of operation that otherwise
would have been impossible, thanks
to the effort Of naval planes.
The second B-29 raid, in which
probably more than 100 Superfort-
resses participated, smashed at tar
gets on FormoSa 48 hours after a
record task force of the giant bonn
bers had destroyed, tWo-thirds of
the important aircraft repair and
supply base of Okayama.
A Twentieth Air force communi-
que said the second attack, which
was driven home without loss of q
single plane, was directed agains
Okayama and Heito, an important
airfield and supply depot.
Two of four B-29s previously un-
reported from the October IA mis-
sion are safe, as are 10 of IL crew
members of a third, leaving only
one plane listed as lost the COM
munique said.
The communique said the B-29's
in both attacks carried "the heav-
lest bomb loads so far employed by
the Superfortresses." A recoro
number - more than 100 = planes
participated in Saturdays raid, ano

LONDON, Oct. 16. (UP)-
Yugoslav partisans and Sow
let troops hammered stub
born German forces into a
tiny segment of Belgrade
Monday to all but complete
the liberation of the Yugoslav
capital. while in the frozen
north the largest Red army
ever assembled in the Arctic
swept south from conquered Pet
samo to virtually seal a trap of
$4,000 veteran Nazi troops in Fin

The final battle for Belgrade de-

Danube and the Save rivers under
heavy pressure from Marshal Titos
infantrymen anC motorized Soviet
forces.
At one point, Titos units were
only half mile from a repeatedly
destroyed bridge over the Sava,
leaving the Nazis only a few pom
toon bridges as escape routes from
Belgrade.
The final drive through the city,
announced in communicates broad
cast from Marshal Tito's headquar-

Soviet forces intensified the cam
spaigis along the entire eastern

Dewey Welcomes
Signs Of Big
Vote in New York

ST. LOUIS, Nc, Oct. 16. CUP)-
Governor Thomas E. Dewey said
Monday he was quite happy about
the heavy registration of voters in
New York City and did not sub
scribe to the theory that such sit
uation was to his disadvantage.
Dewey told a press conference in
ST. Louis where he was to deliver
another campaign address that he
had not seen the final New York
City registration figures but was
"happy with the registration as !
see it,"
The Republican presidential NOM
inee made the statement in re,
sponse to a question on whether he
subscribed to the theory that a
heavy registration in New York City
would be in his disfavor.
Dewey said also that the New
York Daily News straw poll showing
that he has 503 per cent of the New
York vote compared with 49.7 per
cent for President Roosevelt lis on
the right side of the ledger"
In answer to another query,
Dewey said that he couldn't recall
any assistance from Assistant Sec
retary CT State Adolpk A. Berle Jr.,
in his campaign for district attor-
ney in New York City. Berle men
toned providing Dewey with such
aid in letter released by the White
House last Saturday.
The COP candidate was given a
tumultuous welcome when he arrived
in st. Louis to open his bid for the
nations farm vote.
