Skirting the upper fringe of the
village, Janet and Cliff dismounted
at the White-pillared house. On both
sides of the entrance were a mum

dressed, then realizing how hun
cry he was, went out in search OF
Janet.
He found her waiting in the
lower hall. and hardly recognized
her. Bright with the setting sun. a
window framed her head and Shout
ders, and at his entrance she
turned toward him. She had
changed to a dress of soft blue;
the bronze hair, swept upward
from her neck and temples, was
hlghlighted by the blazing sky of
evening, and her eyes, in that brief
second no longer wary, we're dark
and warm.
Seeing her standing there only
as a lovely picture, Cliff thought.
'She could be really beautiful if

Cliff was ready too. 1t was a

EXECUTIVE MEETS

Basle, Switzerland, (JPS-Pal-
or)-The crisis over future lead
ership which stalked the World

ing of the Zionist Congress, was
resolved by the election of new

cipation in the London conference
in the hands of a subcommittee
representing all parties.
The new Zionist Executive was
elected by the General Council
(Zionists Actions Committee) by
roll-call vote of 81 to II. 1t con-
siStS of nineteen members and one
deputy member, without a presi-
dent but with chairmen in charge
of affairs in America and PaleS-
tine. DR.. Abba Hillel Silver,
American General Zionist leader,
will be chairman of the Executive
Board in the United States. David
ben Gurion, leader of the power
full labor bloc, will be chairman
in Jerusalem. DR.. Nahum Gold
mann has been assigned to Lon
don The entire new executive
was present at the first meeting
except DR.. Silver who is enroute
to America by air.
At a plenary session the Gen
eral Council voted AZ to 80 in
favor of a proposal by Moshe
Sneh not to elect a president. The
leftist Hashomer Hatzair, which
dissented in the election, protest
ed against the Biltmore Program
and against partition. The mill
tant leftist Tnuath Achdut Avo-
dah also issued a dissenting dec
laration.
The Council voted in favor of
a proposal by Moshe Shertok to
appoint a subcommittee based on

zOA BATTLE FLARES anew
AS RABBI WISE RESIGNS

NEW YORK (PS-Palcor) - A
battle of words which may have
serious repercussions on the Zion
ist movement in America was
spotlighted over the weekend
when DR.. Stephen S. Wise, found
er and former president of the
Zionist Organization of America,
announced in a singing attack,
his severance from all official
connection with the ZOA, and
was answered by Daniel Frisch,
Chairman of the ZOA Admins
trative Council. DR.. Wise, who
returned from Basle last week,
denounced the 22nd World Zion
ist Congress as "a collection of
personal hatred and rancors and
private ambitions" Mr.. Frisch
characterized DR.. Wise's attack
and resignation as "undemocra-
tic" and attributed it to Wise's
political defeat" in Basle.
Louis Lipsky, a ZOA delegate,
expressed hope that Zionists may
yet participate in the forthcom-
ing London conference on Pale
stine, and pointed out that al

The Manchester Guar

the only plausible solution in
sight, adds that "it is not by any
means clear that we have the
legal right to partition Palestine

Pope Opines us.
Palestine Hold
Jewry's Best Hope

New York, (JPS)-Pope Plus
XI believes that immigration to
America and Palestine offer the
only hope for displaced Jews of
Europe, according to Donald Dan
iels, New York industrialist, who
says he had 80 minute private
audience with the Pope in the
Vatican on Thanksgiving Day.
He told me-" Mr.. Daniels says,
that the only answer to the Jew
ish problem lies in two places,
Palestine and America. He said
he didn't think Jews could be
happy in Europe for a hundred
years; that Europe is too saturated
with the blood and bones of Jews
who have died there; that anti
Semitism is too deep rooted"
Mr.. Daniels, member of Con-
gregation B'nai Jeshrun, visited
Italy to study the problem of dis
placed persons. He donated $4,000
food rations for DIP camps and
was introduced to the Pope by
the Italian Food Minister. Mr..
Daniels says he questioned the
Pope about Polish Cardinal
Hlond's allegation that Jews had
started the Kielce pogrom last
July 4th in which Al Jews were
massacred. The Pope replied, Mr..
Daniels says: Even Cardinals
can make mistakes"

Summer Camp
For Phoenix Boys
Fostered By HMC
BY Milton Sachs

For the first time in local Jew
ish history a boys summer noun
tain camp will be held near Pres
colt, Arizona. The Phoenix He
brew Mems Club realizing the
growing need for such a project
has completed plans for the camp.
Located in the mountains near
Prescott, this camp will operate
for 10 days beginning the mid
die of August.
Full athletic facilities will be
provided, including hiking, horse
back riding, swimming, outdoor
camping and full program of
mountain lore and outdoor life.
Supervising the camp will be
members of the HING. who will
attend for the full session. These
will be drawn from members who
have had experience with young
boys, thus insuring the parents of
campers that their children will
be given expert supervision. A
doctor will also be In attendance.
Cooking will be kosher style.
The camp is one being used
earlier by the Y.M.C.A. Accom-
modations will be of first class
caliber. Much of the success of
the plans thus far laid is due to
the efforts of Joe Gross, Jack
Kempner, Norman Mendelssohn,
Saul Lebeau, to name only few
of the committee working for
bigger and better camp facilities
for Jewish boys. Applications
may be made thru Mr.. Jack
Kempner or Mr.. Norman Men

REPORT BRITISH TO
PROPOSE JOINT STATE

LONDON (JPS-Palcor) - The
Daily Telegraph's diplomatic cor
respondent stated that the Cab
inent will announce this week,
a plan to establish Jewish State
in 40 percent of Palestine with
the Arabs getting the remainder.
The Jewish State would have its
own Government, its own flag,
Foreign Minister and Army. Both
the Jewish and Arab sections, the
correspondent says, would have
dominion status. The Cabinet is
also expected to announce meas
ures to crush Jewish terrorists in
Palestine.
Referring to the recent Zionist
Congress, the Telegraph stated
editorially that DR.. Stephen S.

a rebuke to the anti-British Sec

Great Britain is to recover eco
nomically.
The overthrow of the Labor gov
ernment would not mean the res
toration Of private enterprise as we
understand it in this country. It
would not mean this because there
are lacking today in Great Britain
the economic and social factors nee
essary to the existence of an eco
nomic system such as ours. The
grave danger is that if the Labor
government should fall 1t would be
succeeded, Immediately, or at best
after short interval, by a radical
government very much further to
the left than Great Britain has
ever gone or now wants to go.
Such a government in Great Britain
would be such a threat to our
American economic system as it
has ever been called upon to meet.
So both humanity and political
acumen call upon this country to
do whatever it can to sustain the
economy of Great Britain at this
time Of great travail. Nothing short
of this would be either humane or
intelligent. Just as we needed and
freely used the British Isles for
buffer state when Hitler went ber-
serk. so do we need them now as
buffer economic state against COM
munism or, worse still, stark an
archy. Nor is there any time to
lose. During the war we were con-
stantly in danger of arriving "too
late with too little" We ought to
profit by that experience in this
situation which is fraught with as
threatening consequences as was the
war itself.
Fault Of All of Us.
Our own supply of coal is prac-
tically inexhaustible, and there is
coal enough in Europe to take care
Of its needs. Great Britain, France
and the United States have grossly
bungled In producing the abundant
coal Of Germany that would satisfy
the wants of Europe And now, due
to the fault of all of us, Great
Evening star., 1947-02-19

Britain is fighting just as desperate
and an even more insidious battle
than Hitler was ever able to wage.
Cold and desperate want stalk the
length and breadth of the British
Islands and we have yet to say:
"We stood by each other in resist
ance to the German hordes, we will
stick to each other through the
present terrible crisis" The main
difficulty in Great Britain today is
the lack of enough coal for her man
ufacturing needs, for the generation
of power to furnish heat for homes.
No Fault of Government.
Let there be no mistake. This is
not the fault of the Labor govern
ment. During the war, England had
to draft manpower to dig coal. The
difficulty in England, with respect
to coal, goes back years before
there was Labor government. II
Churchill were in power today,
Great Britain would still lack coal
and without coal Great Britain
would be in dire extremity. Church
i'll is too wise not to know this.
Perhaps he has not moved a vote
of lack of confidence in the govern
ment because he has no solution for
the problem that must be met If

@. Is there limitation upon the
number of automobiles that may
be exported to foreign countries
at present?-L. w. F.
A. Exports of automobiles are
limited to 8 per cent of the total
production.
G. What was the pay of the pilots
Of the AVG under Chennault in
China?-C. D.
A. The American Volunteer Group
pilots were paid $500 a month, plus
$500 for every Japanese plane
dropped down, provided it could be
found and identified.
@. What fish has two hearts?-
r. M. e.
A. This has been said of the eel
The popular notion that an eel
has two hearts is, however, not
based upon fact.
@. Do many couples live to cele-
brate their 18th wedding anniver-
sary?-I. E. M.
A. Statisticians have estimated
that If a man 81 marries a girl of
Is, the couple have 10 to 100000
chance of celebrating their 18th
anniversary.
@. When and where did the Shak-
ing Quakers originate?-R. E.
A. The Society of Shaking Quak-
ers was formed in England in 1747.
Ann Lee led an exodus of six men
and two women to America in
l774, where the sect, known as
Shakers, at first increased greatly
in numbers and then declined.
@. Why did the Indians use
war paint?-L. L.
A. 1t has long been thought that
the Indians donned war paint in
order to terrify their foes. How
ever, the real purpose may have
been camoufage. A warrior painted
in various colors and striped or
spotted would be much less conspic-
uous in the forest than one whose
body was not decorated.
@. Is it possible for glass balls
used by the Japanese to float their
fishing nets to drift all the way to
the United States? Some have
been found on the West Coast
G. L. S.
A. 1t has been estimated that 1t
would take from 1S months to two
years for such balls to float to OUR
shores from Japan. 1t should be
borne in mind, however, that before
the war fishing nets were often
used out in the Pacific and the
balls which reached the West Coast
may not have drifted the entire
distance from Japan.
@. What Is the meaning of the
Christian name Lorna ?-J. r. B.
A. Lorna is an Anglo-SaXon name
meaning "the love-lost."
@. How far can a man draw a

Britain and Europe are deeply suf-
fering In the coolest winter In so
years while here we live in comfort
with enough heat, despite John L.
Lewis, and enough food for all.
And the worst of it is that, in our
smugness, we believe that our plenty,
as compared with the tragic want in
Europe, is the result of some in
nate virtue of our own. It isn't.
IL was merely our luck during the
last war that England and France
and Belgium and Italy were the
backgrounds. It is merely our luck
now that the economic trenches
are in Europe. We probably will
never have such luck again.
And SO 1t behooves us, both as
Christians and as comrades in arms,
to give the help we are able to
give. A PROSTATE English economy
will mean PROSTATE United States
economy, sooner or later. The un-
chained economic demons that are
now ravaging England will, in their
