King Of Trans-J Jordan
BIames u. 5. Groups
For Palestine Turmoil
BY the Associated Press

NEW YOhh, Oct. S1.-hlng Az
dullah of Trans-Jordan declared
Yesterday that American groups
supporting admission of 100000 Jews
into Palestine were advocating a
program that will have the most
frightful consequences in bloody
chaos"
The Arab ruler, whose country ad-
Joins Palestine on the east, said in
an article in the November Ameri-
can Magazine that the United States
was almost solely responsible for the
present turmoil in the Holy Land
The Zionist settlements established
IN Palestine since the first World
War would have been impossible
without American funds, King Alb
dullah said, continuing:
This was contributed by Ameri-
can Jewry in an idealistic effort to
help their fellows. The motive was
worthy: The results were disas-
trouS. The contributions were by
private individuals, but they were
almost entirely Americans, and, as
a nation, only America can answer
for it.
U. S. Government Blamed.
"The present catastrophe may be
laid almost entirely at your door.
Your Government, almost alone in
the world, is insisting on the i'm
mediate admission of 100000 more
Jews into Palestine-to be followed
by countless additional ones. This
will have the most frightful conse-
quences in bloody chaos beyond any
thing ever limited at in Palestine
before.
1T IS your press and political
leadership almost alone in the
world. who press this demand. tt
is almost entirely American money
which hires or buys the refugee
ships that steam illegally toward
Palestine; American money which
pays their crews.
THE illegal immigration from
Europe is arranged by the Jewish
Agency, supported almost entirely
by American funds. 1t is American
dollars which support the terrorists,
which buy the bullets and pistols
that kill British soldiers-your Allies
and Arab citizens-your friends.
Advertisements Cited.
I'VE in the Arab world were
stunned to hear that you permit
open advertisements in newspapers
asking for money to finance these
terrorists, to arm them openly and
deliberately for murder"
The king said Palestine had been
almost 100 per cent Arab for nearly
1000 years but that since the first
World War the country had been
forced to accept 535, 900 Jews, so
that the Zionists now comprise one
third of the Holy Lands 100000
inhabitants.
The argument that Palestine is
Jewish land was labeled absurd" by
King Abdullah. He said nearly all
of the Jews were driven from the
country by Roman emperors by 135
AD.
This was 1915 years ago." he
wrote, "and yet the Jews solemnly
pretend they still own Palestine.
If such fantasy were allowed, how
the maps of the world dance about"

Rabbi Jacobs Reminds
Class OF Privilege
Of u. S. Residence

Eighteen new American citizens
yesterday were reminded by Rab-
bi Pizer w. Jacobs that to live in
this country is special privilege
- a privilege close to his own
heart.
Rabbi Jacobs, of Temple Israel,
addressed the new citizens at
naturalization ceremonies in the
U. S. Court chambers in the
custom house here at the invita-
ton of Mrs. James M. James,
of the Daughters of the American
Revolution. U. S. Court Judge
Don Gillian of Tarboro, presid-
ed.
Using for his subject, "Ameri-
canism," Rabbi Jacobs declared
that his subject was very dear to
him because of the spirit that
founded this great land of ours
and the lofty ideals upon which
it was established"
He saids that the spirit of
America is best illustrated by the
story of former Secretary of State
Cordeil Hull's visit to South
America with reference to the
Good Neighbor policy"
Establish Ideal
Rabbi Jacobs quoted a question
of the president of Brazil to Mr..
Hull thusly: "'Do you know why
our country has far out-stripped
Brazil in its development and
progress? I'll tell YOU said the
Brazilian president. we came
over for conquest and land pos
sessions, while your ancestors
came over to America to establish
an ideal ,"
''Now my friends" asked Rabbi
Jacobs, what was that ideal?
1t is best expressed by the pledge
to the American flag - One ma
ton, with liberty and justice for
ALL"
He declared that this meant
'Not liberty and justice to a
privileged few - to only those of
social position or of certain birth
- but liberty and justice to all
human beings"
He quoted to the new Ameri-
cans that portion of the constitu-
ton which guarantees ''Life, Lib

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-P
The Senate War Investigating
committee heard testimony to-
cay that 20 of the nations largest
oil companies rolled up exces-
sive profits of $50, ,856,000 on war
time projects.
The testimony was presented
by c. Roland Larrabee, chief
administrative officer of the Re-
construction Finance Corpora
tons price adj -nent board.
It came as the committee del
we'd into the renegotiation Of wal
contracts, a procedure set up BY
Congress to cut war production
costs where the government cal
show that original contracts re
suited in extraordinary profits.
Larrabee told the committee
that between 1943 and 1915
twenty oil companies were able
to retain $59,856,OOO in excessive
profits by taking advantage OF
q government authorized pro-
gram which lowered their taxes.
Tax Cuts Permitted
Under the program, Larrabee
said, the government encouraged
investment of private capital in
war plant expansion, for ex-
ample, by permitting tax reduc-
tions which returned the invest
ments at the rate of 20 per cent
a year over a five year period.
He said this was done because in

HOSPITAL BOARD
TO VIEW SITES
VA Group Will Be Shown
Acreage Here Over
Nov. I Weekend

Members of the Veterans Ad-
ministr alton site board, which is
authorized to select a location
in North Carolina for the pro-
posed 1000 bed neurop-
sychiatric hospital, were "held
up somewhere" and could not
visit Wilmington over last week
end as had been expected.
Chamber of Commerce Secre-
tary John H. Farrell, in making
the announcement of the delay,
said the board would be in this
city on the weekend of Novem-
ber 7.
He pointed out that the board,
which ordinarily has been
spending only one day in the
municipalities visited, will be in
Wilmington over the weekend,
which fact could indicate that
this city might be held in the
most favorable light for the hos
pital to date.
Three sites will be shown the
board, all within 15-minute au-
tomobile or bus ride from down
town Wilmington on paved
streets. It has been decided not
to make the locations of the
sites public as yet, Farrell re-
ported.
Large Site Needed
The visiting board is reported
to have told other North Caro-
lima cities visited that they are
interested in a site of between
200 and 300 acres, so of which
must be comparatively level
and the remainder suitable for
farming.
The site should be located
away from airports and indus
tries, but within range of city
water, sewerage and transpor-
tation facilities, it was stated.
The local sites proposed are all
on sandy and clay soil with pine
trees and rolling terrain, ac-
cording to Farrell, who says
they are well-drained and
equipped with the required city
facilities.
Since other VA hospitals in
the State are located in the
west. it is expected that this one
will be placed in the east. AT

Western Powers
Gain Victories
Russia, Poland Serves No.
tice They Will Not Ac-
cept Membership

NEW YORK, Oct. 2i-(P)-An
overwhelming majority of the
United Nations Assembly backed
the United States and Britain
against Russia today and created
an 11-member U. N. commission
to watch over the Balkans.
The vote was 40 to 6. Eleven
nations abstained.
The Russians served notice for
the second time in this Assembly
that although elected to MEM
bership on the Balkan watch they
would have nothing to do with
this new U. N. body. This added
another to a string of U. N.
organizations which the Soviet
Union has declined to join.
The Western powers scored
two other smashing victories:
1.-The Assembly rejected a
Polish resolution demanding i'm
mediate recall of all foreign mill
tary personnel and missions in
Greece. This was aimed directly
at the United States and Britain.
The vote was "a to 7.
Rejects Resolution
2-The Assembly rejected a
Soviet resolution calling for with
drawal of foreign troops from
Greece and for establishing a
commission to supervise econom-
ic aid - such as provided under
the Truman program - to that
country. The vote was Al to s.
The Russian bloc voted alone
on two roll calls. Egypt joined
it on the Polish resolution. Dele
gates recalled that Egypt has a
demand pending in the Security
Council for the immediate with
drawal of British troops from
her territory.
The Assembly directed that the
commission be made up of the
five great powers - the United
States, Russia, Britain, France
and China plus Australia
Brazil, Mexico, The Netherlands,
Pakistan and Poland.
Poland B0yc0tts
Poland announced she would
not serve on the commission but
the Assembly specifically re-
served seats for both Russia and
Poland.
The series of showdown votes
wound up the Balkans case in the
Assembly, where it has been one
of the most bitterly discussed
topics since the delegates first
convened on Sept. 16. The dele
gates will go back to Lake Sue
cess tomorrow for another round
of committee debate.

Film Star Testifies As To

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21-tR -
In an uproarious hearing
Adolphe Menjou called Commu-
nism can incredibly serious
menace today and declared
there are in Hollywood ''many
many dangerous directors ane
actors"
And John Charles Moffitt, Los
Angeles critic writer, asserted
that Broadway is practically
dominated'' by Reds.
Still another witness, Rupert
Hughes, author, complained
that Hollywood movie producers
have been "unjustifiably lax
in paying big salaries to mer
''they know to be Communists.
One lawyer was thrown out oil
the hearing and another threat
ened with election as the House
Committee on Un-American Ac
tivities pursued it's investigation
Of what it terms subversive ele
ments in the movies.
Menjou, dapper actor, got tor
billing today. He carried to the
stand the same suave, man o1
the world air that is his movie
trademark. But as he warmed
up, there were only flashes o.
the light manner characteristic
of most of his roles.
Snorts Smoke
Literally snorting cigarette
smoke, Menjou told the com
mittee:
Joseph Stain is a follower o1
the methods of Al Capone anc
enslaves even his highest Off
cialS.
Communists are active ir
Hollywood but the movie center
is awakening and has been do.
ing all it can to purge itself o1
Reds.
1t is 'tjuvenile" to charge the
House committee with trying tc
s'smear" Hollywood or exercise
Thought control" through its
investigation.
And MenJou himself is "a
witch hunter if the witches are
Communists"
The actors testimony today
supplemented and pointed up
testimony taken by the commit
tee in secret last June on the
West coast, in which Menjou
asserted:
81 believe that Hollywood is
one of the main centers of Com
munist activities in America,
due to the fact that our great
est medium for propaganda, the
motion picture, is located there
and that it is the desire Of the
masters of Moscow to use this
medium for their purposes,
which is for the overthrow of
the American government"
The June testimony was
made public by the committee
as Menjou took the stand.
