TUCSON 0vERJOYED AT NEWS OF new JUDEA NATION
NO ACTION YET ON
KOSHER ORDINANCE

On Nov. 18th the City Council
referred the request for a kosher
ordinance, presented by Rabbi
Marcus Breger and Harry Shift,
to the Health Committee and the
City Attorney.
The Health Committee, of which
DR.. William J. Pistor is chairman,
has held no meetings since that
date and it is not known when
that committee will meet. The
City Attorney has checked into
the nature of ordinances in other
cities and has learned that many
cities have ordinances which are
based on labelling acts which Tue
son does not have.
While an official statement has
not been given, it is not antici-
pated that kosher ordinance will

Haganah Readies
For Any Situation

JERUSALEM (WNS)-Moving
swiftly to meet the Arab tide of
violence against partition, Haga-
nah ordered the immediate mobil-
ization of its security forces, esti-
mated between $4,000 and 10000
members, and called upon all men
and women between the ages of 25
and As to enlist for special service
to guard Jewish communities
against anticipated Arab attacks.
While the Arab leaders were
making loud threats of war, holy
crusades and a holy war, the
Arab population in Nathanya ex-
tended greetings to Mayor Owed
Ben Ami over the establishment
of a Jewish state. The Arab dele
cation, which called on the Jewish
mayor, expressed hope for future
Arab Jewish cooperation. Stimuli
taneously the Arab members of
the League to Combat Anti-Semit-
ism issued a manifesto calling on
the Arab people not to be misled
by provocation.
Leaders of Irgun Zvai Leumi,
violently opposed to partition, let
it become known that they would
abandon terrorism as a political
weapon and that they would en-
ploy the usual political methods
and measures in their fight for a
Jewish state in the entire Pales-
tine.

In this solemn hour of re-
jOicing we thank God that
EretZ Israel is again a Jewish
land.
The reeStabliShment of a
Jewish State in Palestine
solves many problems. Where
the refugees go is no longer
question. We should see a re-
uniting of factions in the
American Jewish Community
created by divergent opinions
on the question Ito be or not
to be-" There is a Jewish State!
Hence we are eagerly hoping
for a joining of hands to
strengthen New Judea.
Partition does not only bring
solutions; it also carries with it
weighty responsibilities. Refu-
gees must be brought from Eu-
rope to Palestine. More than
that, the Haganah needs the
means to protect these refugees
while they are being rehabili-
tated.
Our job is just begun! We
must provide for these ships,
for these supplies. HadasSah'S
task of providing medical serv-
ices, of rekindIing the will to
live, of rebuilding minds and
bodies has become enormously
increased.
Yes, our job has just begun.
But let us thank God we have
it. For centuries our shoulders
have wanted to carry this bur-
den. Let us carry it high!

Reaction To
UN Decision


Tucson Jewry were overjoyed
upon hearing the news that UN
had approved partition. Not only
amongst ardent political Zionists,
but those for whom Palestine rep
resented land of asylum to which
Jews could go, joined in happiness
over the event. Telephones rang
late Saturday afternoon and on
thru the night. Friends dropped
IN to share the joy of the occasion.
The weekend was a festive oc-
casion.
Mrs. William Davidson. vice
president of Hadassah and acting
head during the temporary with
drawal of the president, Mrs.
Louis Cohen, spontaneously re-
piled when asked her reaction
said: "Oh, my, still can't believe
1t! feel now a foundation has
been laid. 1t won't be easy. There
will be bloodshed. We of Hadassah
must redouble our efforts for even
greater accomplishments in the
future"
Past president of ZOA and an
active Zionist is Sam Sloan. His
response was indicative of the
feeling of many. He said, "I'm
very happy. I'm bitter about those
who have been killed. There will
be some upriSings but Haganah
can handle them, I'm sure. With
the help of our own people who
will contribute funds and other
kinds of help, Haganah can take
care of Arab uprisings or other
internal dissensions.
A native of Palestine who spent
her girlhood there is Mrs. M.
Alexandre, N. 1st. She was moved
deeply that once again there was
land for Israel. ''Now we must
get busy" she said, "and get down
to work. Money is needed more
than ever Just imagine the
feeling of those in Cyprus camps

to be transported to their Home
