newspapers today printed a note
which the Yugoslav government
delivered to the United States
State Department August 80
asking for a guarantee that no
more American planes would fly
over Yugoslavia and citing new
instances of such fights.
The note asked the United States
to reply what it had undertaken to
put an end to unauthorized and de-
liberate flights over Yugoslav terri
tory on the part of American Mill
tary and civilian planes and what
guarantees it can give that this will
not be repeated"
The note said no necessary or
satisfactory reply had been le-
Iceived to Yugoslav notes delivered

and 10.
9 Released by Tito.
Two American Army transport
planes were forced down by gunfire
from Yugoslaw fighters on August 8
and 10. Nearly two weeks after the
first incident, nine of the 10 occu-
pants of the first American plane
were released after the United States
Government had issued an ultima
tum. The cofins Of five Americans
who crashed in the second plane
were delivered TO the Americans at
the Morgan line.
Premier Marshal Tito had ordered
the release of nine of the occupants
OF the first plane and had given
strict orders" that no more foreign
planes be shot down prior to- his
formal receipt of the American ulti-
matum. Subsequently the State De-
partment at Washington announced
the Yugoslav government had COM
piled with the ultimatum.
The new Yugoslav note, listing
numerous flights of United States
planes over Yugoslav territory since
August 10, declared these can no
longer be tolerated"
The United States has asked
compensation and indemnities for
the loss of the two transports, but
the new note said the Yugoslav
government cannot bear any re-
sponsibility for this"
U. S. Flights Tested.
The note said the two Army trans

81. ClCl SDul 5, l. Id.
At this season of the New Year
the whole household of Israel is
mystically conscious of the opening
of the Book of Remembrance. How
much there is to recall! How much
that can never be forgotten!
have spent large part of the
past summer teaching and speaking
to Protestant Church Youth Camps
and reaching we'll over a thousand
young people. In SO doing | have
had occasion to explain the symbols
of our faith. Not the least of these
is the Magen David, the familiar
six-pointed star. In days gone by
it was associated with the six He
brew words of the Shema. In our
own day it seems to point to the
souls-six million of them, roughly
speaking done to terrible death by
that evil which humanity was so
late i'll crushing 1t has been said
with justice that every Jew now
living ought to consider himself
bound in solemn obligation to our
sacred dead, Europe's six million
To them we owe a determination
to avenge their tragic fall by six
fold vindication of Jewish existence.
One phase of such a vindication
may be indicated by the modest
proposal which I here submit.
Although it would go into effect
the coming summer it is not at all
too early to begin to implement it
now. I suggest saving our heritage
for youth and saving our youth for
our heritage. This involves a pro-
gram of weekly summer camps
and conferences for Jewish young
people, boys and girls of high-school
age, under religious congregational
auspices (Union of American He
brew Congregations or comparable
conservative and orthodox groups).
If it has proven valuable for the
majority of Protestant denomina-
tional groups in this country, how
much more needed is it for our
Jewish group, and especially for
communities like those of this
Southeast, where we suffer from no
Jewish overpopulation but rather
from a lack of numerical quantity,
if not quality. Here, certainly, the
morale of our young people can
be lifted and strengthened by COM
ing to know boys and girls from
other towns and cities as they live
and learn together under the in
spiration of our great faith. True,
this will be something new in Jew
ish life, but please bear in mind that
it will not be the same as purely
Zionist, Hillel Foundation, A. z. A.
or other organizational camp. 1t |
should bear immediate and practi-
cal fruit in each community and
congregation. 1t will solve no great
problem automatically, but it will /
strengthen us all for the service of
God and man.
Let parents, teachers, leaders and
young people take this
practical religious resolution to
