The following immediate steps
were recommended by Bergson to
end the continued misery and
humiliation OF the surviving Jews
OF Europe;
All Hebrews now in German
concentration camps who have
expressed their determination to
20 10 Palestine should no longer
be regarded RS German. Hum

persons, but As PalestinianS.
AMERICAS PART
The U. S. government give full
assistance 10 the immediate re-
patriAtion OF all these Palestin-
fans and an American commission
be established 10 take charge OF
this program and begin its execu-
ton within the American zone.
A commission composed OF He
brewS from the concentration
s,camps should be recognized by
Ithe occupying authorities and be
charged with the handling and
representation Of all Hebrew af-
fairs.
ct IL reliably estimated that
there are no more than some
100000 such Hebrews In the
American and British zones of
occupation" said Bergson. eff
10 Liberty ships were assigned
for this task. carrying $500
passengers per ship, they could
transfer $4,000 people month
and complete the evacuation
within two months.
Surplus army trucks. as well
as the German railroad system,
could be used TO transfer these
people 20 Mediterranean ports.
The expense would be approxi-
mately $50 to $40 q person.
MORE ECONOMICAL
"From n practical point Of
view II will constitute n saving,
for today the maintenance OF
the concentration camps, their
food rations and heating, are
mostly the burden Of the Amer
lean army which could be freed
Of this responsibility and ex-
pense once the people are
moved : Palestine"
BcrgSon expressed the belief
that the American government
should take such steps regardless
OF the British policy restricting
immigration to Palestine.
Palestine In not a British
territory" ne wrote the PreSi-
dent 1T has been placed under
British mandate by interna-
tional authority. The present
beading position of the United
States amongst the United Ma
tions puts direct responsibility
upon IL for the PaIestinian sit
ustion. We believe the United
States should intervene and put
q stop to the calIous and arbi-
trary action nv which the Brit
ish government prevents with
force Of arms these martyred
Hebrews from returning to
their own national home"

Humorist Robert BenchIey Diesl
In New York Hospital at Sc
Author and Actor
Was Token III Only
About q Week AGO
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2l.-Robert
c. Benchley, Sc, author, editor,
actor and humorist, died early
today of cerebral hemorrhage
at the Harkness Pavilion of the
Columbia Presbyterian Medical
Center.
Recently he had spent much of
his time in Hollywood and re-
turned only q month ago from the
coast, where he made number of
motion pictures.
Mr.. Benchley had been doing
radio shows while here and was
taken i'll at his home In nearby
Scarsdale little more than a
week ago and went to the hospital.
Robert Benchley made a great
success with his highly disorganized
mind because he could always be
counted on to be funny-as a writer,
on the stage, on the movie set and
with his friends and family.
He was born September Is, 1889,
in Worcester, Mass. An important
event occurred at grammar school
when he was 8 years old. He met
a very understanding person, Ger
trude Darling, whom he later mar
ried.
MY life had been a shambles up
to then," he once said in retrospect.
you know, wild oats and all"
He went to Phillips Exeter Acad-
emy and was graduated from Har-
ward in 1912 after contributing
greatly to the fun of his fellow
students and professors in the class
room and in the student comic
magazine, the Lampoon.
Mr.. Benchley's family hoped he
would follow diplomatic career.
He took a course in international
law and wrote a paper on one of II 4,
American landmarks, the New
England fisheries case. Young
Benchley wrote it from the view
point of a fish. II
He went into newspaper work in
New York and had his diff .culties.
He finally hit his stride as .ritic for
Charles Dana Gibson's T.e, then a
magazine Of distinguished humor,
with Robert She--.--S. as editor.
His humorous skits were COM
bined into books which were best
sellers. Two of them were entitled
MY Ten Years in Quandary" and
Inside Benchley."
He became one of the Algonquin
wits who lunched at hotel of that
name-Alexander Woollcott, Charles
Macarthur, Franklin Pierce Adams
(FPA, Dorothy Parker and others.
He tried to form a partnership with
Miss Parker so they could enjoy the
cable address-"Park-B Bench, New
York"
Mr.. Benchley's infrequent but
hilarious after dinner speeches put
him on the stage. He thought 1t
was a lark. 1t forced a change in
his career. He was given eight min
utes in the Music Box Revue" of
1928 to give his "Treasurer's Report"
They were the eight funniest min
utes OF the show.
Sound was just coming to the
screen. Fox Films decided in 1928
to film Mr.. Benchley's hit mono
logue on the sound track at its As

|Byrnes Says Report
From Iran Is Delayed
|By Disrupted Lines

Secretary of State Byrnes said
today that disrupted communica-
tions within Iran had prevented
the United States from receiving
oficial information about develop
ments in the uprisings in Azer-
baijan Province.
He told a news conference that
no action will be taken by this
Government until it receives infor-
nation from the American con-
sulate in the troubled area. The
consulate has been unable to COM
municate with the American EN-
bassy at Teheran.
Mr.. Byrnes said the Iranian gov
ernment had presented complaints
that Soviet military authorities had
refused to permit Iran to reinforce
its garrisons in the province, where
Soviet troops have been stationed
under wartime agreement.
He. recalled that the United
States is party to a declaration is
sued after the Big Three conference
at Teheran in December, 1943,
pledging American, British and Rus
sian support of Iranian sovereignty,
independence, and territorial integ-
rity.
NuSSein Ala, 1ranlan Ambassador,
told press conference here yester-
day that Russia's action in Azer-
baijan was "a fragrant violation of
the sovereignty and integrity of
Iran" He expressed the hope the
United States will use its influence
in Moscow to see that right and JUS
tice are done"
The note from the Iranian Min
istry of Forengn Affairs to the
Soviet Embassy in Teheran sum-
married. at the conference, charged
that "a number of Kurds," led by
Mulla Mustafa Barzani, had created
disorder in the western section Of
the province; that Soviet authorities
were restricting movements into and
inside the area of Iranian officials
and troops as well as of pri-
vate citizens, and were stopping
transportation of foodstuffs from the
northern provinces to southern areas
of Iran.
(The troops referred to were ap-
parently those reported turned back
by Russian authorities at Kazvin

The note warned that "if urgent
attention is not paid to these mat

Trying Yamashita Told
Bs the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PresS.
MANILA, Nov. .21.-If American
forces had attacked Luzon in mid
November or December of last year
they would have undoubtedly cap
tured the island with one blow" !"
the military court hearing war
crimes charges against 1t. Gen. To-
moyuki Yamashita was told today.
The invasion began January O.,
and the campaign ended July S.
Yamashita's chief of staff, 1t.
Gen. Akiro Muto. said Japan was
too slow preparing its Philippine
defenses by at least six months and
should have started sooner for effec-
tive defense"
Muto introduced large chart
showing the japanese chain of
command in the Philippines at the
time Yamashita took over October
8, 1914. Since many of the prosecu-
tion's cases Of atrocities deal with
prior periods, 1t was obvious the
defense was attempting to show
that many of the incidents occurred
prior to his arrival.
Muto said japanese morale on
Luzon was low because of many
ship sinkings and air raids and a
shortage of supplies, particularly
gasoline.
OF nearly 100000 troops on Luzon
under various commands, Yamashita
had actual control of 10000, he
testified. Some Naval commanders
IN Manila had co-equal powers with
Field Marshal Count Jiro Terauchi
commander of southern areas. in
cluding the Philippines, leaving only
a fraction of the total Japanese
forces under the defendants COM
mand.
He was insistent the chain of
command was from imperial head
quarters In Tokyo to Terauchi and
then to Yamashita, directly under
Terauchi.
Col. Harry Clarke, chief defense
counsel, spent the entire morning
session with Muto working toward
two points:
l. That Yamashitas chain of
command was through Tokyo down,
and,
2. His principal and paramount
occupation was the Battles of Leyte
and Luzon.
Col. Clarke previously had as
sailed motives of two prosecution
witnesses, Joquain Galang and Mar
ciso Lupas. He produced letters
which he said showed both had
offered to assist the American prose-
cution Of Yamashita if they were
given consideration of their own
cases and safe conduct out of the
Philippines
Both Galang and Lupas face trial
in Philippine courts as collabora-
tioniSts.
