spread to utility, automotive sup

turing shares and then proadened
to carry prices generally to the
highest since the war began gave
the stock exchange its busiest day
of the year today.
Allied advances in France and
Italy, with their implication of
possibly earlier than expected
European peace, sent spectators
fiocking into Wall Street to bid up
prices of their favorites by frac-
tions to more than two points.
Steels and other 'blue chip" ia
vorites were prominent in the rise,
although the heavy volume was
chiefly the result of large trans
fers of cheap motors and other
equities under the $40 level.
At 2,236, 780 shares, volume was
the best since Nov. B, 1943,' and
compared with S49,257 Friday, the

American Judaism Council Protests British Program
''White Paper on Palestine" Becomes Subject of Worldwide Controversy = Future of Jews Overshadowed by Attitude
 of British Government

done in the Biltmore Platform and again in the Palestine Reso- lution of the American Jewish conference. Such demands have only exacerbated an already Ser- ious situation.
 We stand at a crossroads Of decision, at a time of indescr1b- able tragedy for our co-religionists in Axis Europe. Are we to be oc- cupied with the creation of 8 Jewish National State? Or are we to be concerned with human lives, the lives of harassed and driven Jews?
 We believe 1t a crucial wrong to confuse the two. One is 8 conten- ton for political theology. The other is battle for the elementry rights of men.
 At the same time that we ap- peal that the unjust provisions of the White Paper be annulled, we call upon American Jews to or- ganize in strength, out of deep concern for oppressed Jews every where, behind 8 non-national- istic program to deal with the total Jewish problem. Beyond the abrogation of the White Pa- per lies the need for basic solu- ton. That solution, we believe, can come only when there is world wide recognition of the rights of Jews to full equality. It can come in Palestine only when the pretentions to Jewish State hood are abandoned and we seek instead freedom of migration op- portunity based on incontestable rights and not on special privi- 1ege. The declaration of our Statement of Principles is beyond challenge from any quarter "We look forward to the ultimate es- tablishment of democratic au- tonomouS government in Pales- tine, wherein Jews, Moslems and Christians shall be justly repre- sented; every man enjoying equal rights and sharing equal respon- abilities; a democratic govern ment in which our fellow Jews shall be free Palestineans whose religion is Judaism even as we are Americans whose religion is Juda- ism" From the Information Bull letin, American Council for Juda- ism, Inc.

Local Rabbi Scores
 British White Paper

Rabbi William P. Greenfield of Beth-El Synagogue, speaking yes terday before members of the Ki- wanis Club at The Elton, con- demned the existence of the British White Paper which calls for an end to Jewish migration to Pales- tine after April l, 1944. The White Papers were drawn up during the time of Prime Minister Chamber lain just before the Munich crisis.
 In contrast Rabbi Greenfield re- called the Balfour declaration of 1917 which proposed the establish ment of 8 Jewish homeland to be centered in Palestine. This latter declaration, the Rabbi pointed out, was signed at the time of its ere ation by 52 nations including the United States. Since then every American president from Wilson to Roosevelt has indorSed its amend mentS.
 Rabbi Greenfield then urged that the precepts of the Balfour declar- ation be maintained and fostered by the United States and other na- tionS as a means of repudiating the White Papers. Now more than ever before, he pointed out, the Jewish people of Europe need a homeland.
 Recently Congressman Joseph E. Talbot, (R), scored the British White Papers while addressing congress. Talbot urged their imme-

 At the Sir Francis Drake in San Francisco, Manager George Thompson has installed 125 Pull man" bedrooms for men in some of the large lounge and banquet rooms. There are a couch, chair and a night stand in each com- partment, with seven-foot walls and curtain for privacy. No por- ter service, though.

 Service men come first with every hotel, but down in Hous- ton, Tex, the managing director of the Rice Hotel, Bruce Carter, real- ly puts himself out. His speciality is giving 8 festive air to these sud- en-decision furlough weddings. With practically no notice, Carter will throw open a parlor for the ceremony and 8 lounge for the re- ception. He'll locate preacher and even stand up as best man.

The Boston Hotel Associa- tin has branched out to the extent that they can, and have, put up travellers in hotels as far away as Portland, Me. So far, by good fortune, all these travellers have wanted to go to Portland, any, way.

Bonds Should Be Kept, Declares
 Security Leader
By EMIL SCREAM, President, New Work Stock Exchange

A<NNAA@N@~OS
 The bonds of the United States of America are the best invest mentS in the world today. They represent both national and per- sonal security. We will have spec ial opportunity to add to our hold ings of these bonds next month when the Fourth War Loan will be brought out by the Government for the purpose of pressing on in Europe and Asia to complete vic- tory-a victory which will mean all the difference between 8 mean, harried life for America and a triumphant return to freedom and opportunity, to a further cultivation of the arts of peace.
 The buying of War Bonds un- der the stimulus and fevor of a campaign to support our men in the armed services is only part of the privilege of Americans. Bonds bought should be bonds kept. Bonds bought should be retained against any impulse to turn them back into cash, except to meet the most ser- ious personal needs.
 Bonds bought now and kept will provide dependable income as well as complete safety; the Series E bond will store up capital for us store 1t up the more rapidly the longer we keep them. AS the Fed eral Reserve Board has recently emphasized, these E bonds provide a rate of return of 40 per annum during the last five years of their life as compared with an average of 29b over the whole term of the bonds.
 Whatever type of bonds we buy 1t is both prudent and patriotic tc keep them. They are the best pos sible safeguard against the uncer- tainties of the long future.

Mon Held in Auto Death

Salvatore Barbieri, 73 Berry street. Torrington, was held criminally H. able for the death of Albert D. Mol lineaux. 72, Waterbury as the result of an automobile accident of Nov. 16, in a finding handed down today by Coroner Stephen A. Homick.
 According to the finding, car driven by Barbieri struck a car driv- en by William O'Neill, 27 West View street on Thomaston avenue, near the Sprague school at about 6:30 on the morning of Nov. 16.
 After the collision, the Barbieri car crossed Thomaston avenue, mounted the sidewalk, struck and ran over Mollineaux who was on the sidewalk in front of the driveway to the Sprague school. Mollineaeu died at St. Mary's hospital on Dec. 4 from the injuries he received.
 Barbieri claimed that the O'Neill car was without lights, and without warning suddenly pulled away from the curb where 1t parked and struck his car. Coroner Homick found that this testimony could not be reconcil- ed with Barbieri's statement to Motor Patrolman Walter E. Ogrisek at the scene of the accident that he did not see the ONeill car until he was "on top of it" and that the O'Neill car was then in the center of the Highway.
 Tt seems that Barbieri was not watching the roadway just before the collision" the finding concludes, and "thiS' failure to keep a proper lookout for motor vehicles on the highway was the proximate cause of the accident and constitutes crimin- al negligence under the Statutes of Connecticut.

The Wor On |MonyFronts

Advancing Allied invasion troops repulsed the first German counter attack in force below Rome today while in Russia the Red armies slashed unchecked into the shrink ing enemy salient south of Lenin- grad.
 Driving steadily inland from their Mediterranean beachhead, Allied units routed elements of the Her. man Goering division after 8 fierce clash southwest of Littoria and about 13 miles due east of the in- vasion port of Nettuno.
 Despite the ferocity of the futile enemy counter-blow and the fact that 1t was launched by PanZer forces withdrawn from the main front to the south, the Allied com mand described the battle as of only local significance as the in- vaders famed out rapidly with troop, supply and armament endorsements ahead of schedule"
 In dispatch possibly describing the engagement near Littoria, Homer Bigart, American core Spondent with the invasion forces, reported that British troops de- Stroyed as many as four German tanks and filtered the battlefield with enemy dead in smashing a strong German counter attack against 8 crossroads hamlet.
 On the north flank of the Allied beachhead, Swiss broadcast of a German report said, the NaN forces have evacuated Apriha, 9 miles south of Rome.
 Southern Front
 On the southern front, the Fifth Army was maSSing a vast concen- centration of Guns, It. Gen. Jacob L. Devers, deputy supreme com mander in the Mediterranean re- ported. American troops were SCOT ing local gains against stiff opposi- tion in the Casino area, but there still was no confirmation of reports that they had crossed the Rapido river in force or had entered that main Bastion of the Gustav line.
 In northern Russia, Red Armies raced toward Estonia and Surged far west of Novgorod in twin drives that threatened to trap upwards of 25O,0OO Germans in the enemy bulge below Leningrad.
 In the 14th day of their north western offensive, the Russians had rolled the enemy back g miles southwest, 26 miles south and 28 miles southeast of the siege-torn city and had killed 10000 Germans, 5000 in the first 12 days alone.
 On the northern flank of the col- lapsing enemy salient, the forces of Gen. Leonid A. MeretSkov poured through newly-captured Krasnog- vardeisk, fve-way rail hub 25 miles south of Leningrad, and drove on to seize Medniko, within 42 miles of Estonia in purcuit of fleeing Ger man units.
 To the south, Russian troops swept 25 miles southwest of Novgorod to a point only three miles above the important rail and highway june ton of Shimsk, 13 miles above Staraya Russa, next Soviet objec- tive.
 The north central and south cen- tral anchors of the NaI salient tosno and Chudovo-faced imminent collapse, meanwhile, in the face of Russian forces battering into their suburbs.
