Soviet Stand On
Palestine Given
For First Time

The situation took a sudden
turn for the better, from the Zion
ist point of view at the concluding
session of the United Nations
when Andrei Gromyko, Soviet
delegate, dramatically placed
Soviet Russia on record as favor
ing the establishment of a Jewish
state in a partioned Palestine if
no agreement could be reached
between Jews and Arabs on the
establishment of a bi-national
democratic Arab-Jewish state. "
Mr.. Gromyko's declaration on
behalf of a Jewish Palestine was
not only the first ever made by a
spokesman of the Soviet Govern
ment, but the first ever made in

MARGATE (WNS) = Great
Britain will abide by the U.N. de-
cision on Palestine if the other ma
tions of the world agree to do the
same, Foreign Secretary Ernest
Bevin told the 1900 delegates at
tending the British Labor Party's
annual conference.
Following Mr.. Bevin's preSen-
tation of resume of the foreign
policy, the conference voiced an
almost unanimous vote of conf
dence in his administration of
Great Britain's foreign affairs.

CHRISTIANS CONTRIBUTE
TO UJA

New York, (JPS)-The Council
of Jewish Federations and Wei
fare disclosed interesting facts
and figures on Christian cam
paigns for Jewish Welfare Funds.
About 100000 was raised last
year from Christian sources.
Where such campaigns were
successful, the results did not
come out of a vacuum. These
communities often showed a his
tory of good will, close associa-
ton, and strong interfaith coop
Grafton. This was true of Dallas,
New York and Rochester, which
has three of the best Christian
campaigns in the country. In
judging the standard of Christian
gifts, one should bear in mind
the standard of such gifts to the
Community Chest and Red Cross
by way of comparison.

Britain Willing to Abide by UN
Decision Ii Others Do: Bevin

The debate on foreign policy
elected much keen comment. A
resolution was introduced in the
name of the Poale Zion Of Great
Britain calling for unrestricted
Jewish immigration to Palestine
pending final decision on the ques-
ton by the United Nations Cen
eral Assembly. When Mr.. Bevin
voiced his disapproval and asked
that the proposal be withdrawn,
the representative of the Poale
Zion, refusing to do so, but fear
ing an overwhelming defeat of
the proposal if taken to vote,
moved to return to previous
questions"
The conference rejected a pro-
posal to sharply reduce the
number of troops maintained
in the Middle East. Richard
Crossman, who introduced the
resolution, told the conference
that if present military commit
ments abroad were not cut Brit
ain, in its financial straits, would
have to resort to reducing its
food imports into the country.

IRCUN NO FAITH
In UN INQUIRY

New York, (JPS)-Irgun Zvai
Leumi, in an interview through
underground Intermediates, with
United Press correspondent Eliav
Simon, stated that it has no faith
in the United Nations Inquiry
Commission on Palestine but that
it would be willing to accept the
UN's appeal for a truce in Pal
estine, pending a decision, "pro-
vided the enemy (Britain) ac-
cedes too" Asked if they saw
prospects for peace in Palestine
within the next ten years, Irgun
replied that there will be peace
only when 'the British occupation
regime and its armed forces leave
the country"
Replying to the question on its
attitude toward the UN inquiry
on Palestine Irgun said: GAS sub
mission of the matter to the Uni
ted Nations was originally intend
ed as a means of gaining time
when Britain found her efforts to
crush the Jewish resistance un-
availing, and as the most super
fetal observer knows considera-
tions quite irrelevant to the issue
will determine the attitude of the
United Nations, our degree of
faith in such an inquiry may be
imagined. The question was wrong
in describing the United Nations
as the highest world tribunal.

that involves"

JERUSALEM, (Palcor)-David
ben Gurion, Chairman of the
Jewish Agency Executive, in an
address before the Jewish Pales-
tines Elected Assembly, outlined
what he considered should be the
Jewish approach to the United Ma
tions Inquiry Committee on the
Palestine issue. In place of the
White Paper regime we shall de-
mand neither continuance of the
mandate nor creation of a bi-Na-
tional State, but our historic claim
of Palestine as a Jewish state.
But we mustn't ignore realities,
Mr.. Ben Gurion cautioned. Should
the United Nations not acquiesce
to turning the whole of Palestine
into a Jewish State now, there
will perhaps be a need to leave
part of the country under the
mandate But the second part
where Jews are settled, as well
as the barren desert, should be-
come a Jewish State forthwith.
(He explained later these were
his views, and did not represent
the attitude of the Jewish
Agency.)
Reporting on the special UN'
session on Palestine which he at
tended in New York, Mr.. Ben
Gurion said there was every rea-
son for satisfaction with its re-
suits and the mood which pre-

Jerusalem, (Palcor)-Only 81
500 Jewish immigrants have been
permitted entry into Palestine
during the five months since jan
uary, despite monthly quota of
1900 under which 1000 should
have entered. Reasons given for
the lag are the transportation
shortage and the fact that the
Palestine Government, not the
Jewish Agency, has been distrib-
uting most certificates, thereby de-
tracing from the normal ettlcl-
ency of the distribution.
A new youth village has open

How George Washington spent
his money is told in book that
Attorney General Clark borrowed
yesterday from Secretary Of the
Treasury Snyder.
The thick, bound volume of ledger
sheets in Washington's handwriting
is one Of the Treasury's Oldest pos
sessions. It Is an official expense
account from June, TITS, to June,
1893. It served several years later
to back a claim for which Congress
reimbursed Washington and is still
listed in the Treasury as an official
financial record.
The Declaration of Independence,
an original copy of the Bill of
Rights, originals of the Gettysburg
Address and the Emancipation
Proclamation, 100 similar historic
documents and the account book
will travel to every State during
the next IL months on o Freedom

The first entry in the book is for
purchase of five horses and equip
ment for Washington's journey from
Virginia to Cambridge, Mass, to
take command of the Continental
Army. Through the neat and care

immigration authorities asserted
Luciano entered Cuba by plane from
Italy, where he had been living since
his pardon last year by Gov. TnomaS
E.. Dewey of New York, from a 1885
sentence of 80 to so years for pan
dering.
He was travelling under an Italian
passport which gave his occupation
as q merchant and his name as
Salvatore Lucania, an authority
said. He was said also to have pass
ports and -visas for Venezuela, Co.
lombia and Bolivia.
It was learned that Luciano OBJ

through the influence of Cuban
Senator, whose name was not dis
closed. The Senator was said toI

thorities to present Luciano to them,
but the arrest occurred before any
such step had been taken.
Narcotics Ban Protested.
Jose Andrea, minister of health.

against the United States ban on

to "go into Boston to establish
secret correspondence for the pur-
pose Of conveying intelligence Of the
enemy's movements" in TITS.
Unlike some Of Washington's per-
sonal account books on exhibition at
Mount Vernon and elsewhere, this
book does not throw much light
on costs of specific items such as
food, shoes, clothing and other ne
cessities that Washington had to
buy out of his own funds for his
men at Valley Forge.
Attorney General Clark showed
particular interest in Washington's
method of using separate column
for lawful items. These were the
expenditures for which Washington
believed he should be reimbursed
by the Government. Other and
sometimes larger amounts repre-
sented money he spent for Army pur-
poses but, in his opinion, not in his
official capacity as commander in
chief.
Secretary Snyder said he under
stood Washington ultimately was
reimbursed about 100000, far less
than the 100000 plus he spent per-
sonally for various military pur-
poses during the war. HE was a
more than honest man." the Sec
retary commented.

Washington Birthday |
Marked With Program
By Oldest Inhabitants

An old-fashioned patriotic cele-
bration was held yesterday for
George Washington's birthday by
the Association of the Oldest Inhab-
itants of the District of Columbia,

South, Up to the Belching Cannon's
Mouth"

publican, of Michigan, principal
speaker of the celebration, said that
in his IS years in the House he had
heard the address read annually but
never had he heard so good read
ing as Mr.. Sullivan's.
Dondero Compares Presidents.
MIR. Dondero read a short piece
he had written comparing Wash
ington with Lincoln.
Both men were tall, said Mr..
Dondero. Washington was feet
2 inches; Lincoln was feet 4.
Both loved trees. He quoted Lin
coin as saying he liked trees even
better in the winter because one
could realize their shape. And he
read from Washington's journals
his listing of the fruit trees he had
planted at Mount Vernon.
Honorary Members Elected.
AT the conclusion, Mr.. Emery
nominated Mr.. Dondero an honor

Secretary of State Marshall was
elected first vice president of the

ciety at the Hath annual meeting
of the society yesterday at the
Raleigh Hotel. Gen. Marshall sue
ceeds the late Chief Justice Harlan
F. Stone.
Colgate w Darden, chancellor of
William and Mary College and for
mer Governor Of Virginia, was
chosen as treasurer to succeed the
late Theodore w. Noyes, for many
years editor of The Star.
A resolution was adopted de-
scribing the work of Chief Justice
Stone, Mr.. Noyes and George E.
Hamilton, dean emeritus of George
town University Law School, all OF
whom died during the last year.
The resolution said:
Since our last annual meeting,
the society has lost three of its
most distinguished memberS-Har-
Ian Fiske Stone, Theodore w. Noyes
and George E. Hamilton.
although We have had several
distinguished Justices of the Su-
preme Court Of the United States
as members, Chief Justice Stone
was the only Chief Justice chosen
as our first vice president since Chief
Justice John Marshall. AS our as
sociate Charles Warren said OF him
at a meeting of the Literary Society
of Washington, His predominant
qualities were those of New Eng
land - rugged simplicity, straight
forWardness, penetrating humor,
cheerful friendliness, and a lack OF
pretentiousness. The great offices
he filled with so much distinction
never changed the characteristics
of the man. He was always loyal
friend and a valued associate.
Mr.. Noyes had served as a mem
ber of this board since 1909, and as
our treasurer during most of this
period. His pride in all u the his
torical associations of the city OF
Washington. of which he was life
long resident, his reverence for the
traditions of the Founders, and his
position as editor-in chief Of our
oldest and greatest newspaper made
him an ideal trustee for the preser-
vation of this great memorial to the
father of his country.
"Mr. Hamilton came here from
Southern Maryland as boy and
after a career of great usefulness
he died at the remarkable age OF
e4 years. He and his associates
founded the hotel in which we are
meeting today, and he was also
actively connected with the building

powerful nation on earth, they will
deal with us in one way. But make
no mistake about this, my friends
If we approach them as a third
rate power, they will deal with us In
quite another way"
The most dangerous way OF all to
risk war is to ask for it by being
unprepared to fight" he said. TWO
other ways, he declared are:
"To crawl into our shell and tell
ourselves that the rest Of the world
can go hang" and:
"For q nation to squeeze its neigh
bors In the wise of its own greed
to insist on selling to them without
buying from them; to build tariff
walls over which they cannot de-
liver their product"
