Revisionists Appeal To
UN Against Arrest of
Palestine Leaders

PARIS (JTA)-The United Zion
ists-Revisionists, whose world
headquarters are in Paris, cabled
the United Nations protest a.
gainst the mass arrests in Pales-
tine of three Jewish mayors and
a number of Revisionist leaders.
The cable requested urgent in
tervention' on the part of the
United Nations in order ITO pre-
vent further aggravation of the
present conflict" in Palestine. 1t
pointed out that the arrests and
the outlawing of the Revisionist
Palestine youth organization, Birth
Trumpeldor, constitute a new
blatant manifestation Of the Brit
ish police regime and a violation
of the United Nations call for re-
straint during the U. N. inquiry"
DR.. Moshe Sneh, member of the
Jewish Agency executive, address
ing meeting called by the French
Zionist Federation said "if Britain
does not carry out the Balfour
Declaration, Britain must quit
Palestine" He pointed out that
the British had circulated pam
phlets among the refugees on the
Exodus in which they promised
to send them to Cyprus.
After paying tribute to the he
roism of the refugees on the ship,
DR.. Sneh told the meeting, at
which Andre Blumel presided, that
the Jewish Agency was grateful
to the French Government, the
National Assembly and the French
people for their humane attitude
toward the Jews.

Dispatches from Dachau, where
a number of German prison per-
sonnet are on trial for war crimes,
report that a former Jewish in
mate told an American tribunal
that German civilians who super
vised slave labor gangs were "as
bad as the Gestapo." The witness,
Joseph Berman, called to refute
defense claims that civilians on
trial had not committed war
crimes, declared that he personally
knew of eight prisoners who had
died from beatings administered
by German civilians in factories
where the prisoners worked. He
also charged the civilians with

Gestapo.

ANSBACH, Germany (JTA)-
Fifty-one Jews from a nearby DIP
camp are being held for question:
ing regarding the beating of two
American soldierss last week by
a group of DPS at the camp,
following an assault by three other
soldiers on several Jews. Previous
reports said that the soldiers,
Privates Robert C. Kennedy and
Thomas w. Ulrich, were innocent
victims of a retaliatory act. The
new accusation states that the
two were members of an organized
gang which has beaten a number
of Jews recently.
Earlier, American military auth
critics admitted that American

Principal speaker of the Assem-
bly, was Goldie Meirson, actirG
head of the political department
of the Jewish Agency, who, shortly
before the session, was summoned
to appear before the Palestine
Acting Chief Secretary to discuss
the situation in the country. It is
understood that Mrs. Meirson told
the official that the entire respon-
sibility for the present situation
rests with the government. She
emphasized that the arrest of the
Jewish mayors who were in the
front line of the anti-terrorist
campaign, the brutal treatment Of
the Exodus refugees, the anti
Jewish riots in England and i'll
Palestine have only intensified
Jewish resentment, strengthening
the dissidents.
Addressing the Assembly, Mrs.
Meirson called upon the Jews in
the country to unite and face
both the external and internal
assaults" Palestine Jewry, she
said, will not surrender to either
of them. Other speakers stressed
that the government will not sue
coed in breaking the resistance of
Palestine Jewry by arresting Jew
ish leaders.
Haganah Expects More Mass
Arrests of Jewish Leaders
Haganah circles expressed the
belief that the current arrests are
only the first step in a campaign
to arrest leaders of all Jewish
groups in Palestine. A statement
issued by the Haganah emphasizes
that despite the mass arrests, the
will continue its fight
against the dissident groups and
will at the same time press its
campaign to bring visaless Jewish

19 Labor MPS
Urge Britoin Quit
Palestine After
|UN Decision

LONDON, Aug. 8 (Palcor)-The
Daily Herald, organ Of the British
Labor Party, today published a
letter signed by nineteen Laborite
left-wing MPs, urging the Govern
merit to "let the United Nations
know that whatever it decides,
British troops and officials will
be out of Palestine within six
months after that decision" This
line is backed up fully by the New
Statesman, edited by Laborite MP
Richard H. S. Grussman, which
states in an editorial that if For
eign Secretary Bevin "wishes to
save British lives, check the
spread of anti-Semitism in this
country and save Britain's good
name, he can declare, before the
,UN Assembly cDnvenes next
month, that under no conditions is
Britain prepared to continue the
Palestine Mandate which is detest-
ed by every Jew and Arab, and he
can make it clear that whatever
the Assembly decides on the fu-
ture of Palestine, British troops
and officials will leave that coun-
try within six months of the de-
cision."
Palestine, British Labor Scored
The British Labor Party and
Jewish labor in Palestine came in
for sharp criticism IN an article
in the Tribune, weekly organ of
the 1eft-wing element IN the Labor
Party, which charged both with
doing nothing to avoid the series
of events which led to the present
deplorable situation in Palestine,
and urged Haganah to adopt a
policy of cooperation with British
forces in Palestine, implying that
if Haganah will stop bringing I'M
authorized Jewish immigrants to
Palestine, the Government might
ease it's attitude toward "illegals"
now on Cyprus and elsewhere,
meaning the 400 Exodus refugees
in a French port.
"Irgun is able to operate in
political vacuum in Palestine while
an enormous British Army and
Hagannah stand by with folded
arms" the Tribune says, waiting
for some lead from the British
Government or from Jewish lead
ers. The Palestine tragedy repre-
sents a breakdown of social DEM
ocracy for Palestine Jews" In
the Jewish Agency for Palestine,
Jewish labor dominates and is the
equivalent of the British Labor
PARTY in the British Government,
the paper says.
zone thing is sure from the
manner in which the Jewish-Arap
issue has turned into a British
Jewish conflict, and that is, that
every enemy of the Jews and OF
British labor today is profiting'
the Tribune continues. Non
cooperation with the British ad-
ministration on the part OF the
Jews is becoming an empty for
mula and Haganah should take
adequate steps to outroot the EVIL
of the terrorist minority from
Jewish Palestine by fullest CO.
operation with British forces. I'VE

WASHINGTON

WASf11NT1ON-
The announcement from London
that Great Britain may be obliged
IN reduce her armed forces over
seas is hardly likely to apply to
Palestine.
Not long before these reports
trickled into the press here, reli-
able military observers said quite
frankly, if not publicly, that Brit

base in Palestine. No BONES werel
made about the claim that Britain
could not afford to ditch the Man.
date, and would hang on to it,
come austerity or no. With the
increasing interest of tine United!
States in the Middle East, an
Anglo-American bargain is not
impossible. The cutlery that would
be raised in this country at ship
ping any troops to Palestine can
well be imagined. What simpler,
then, than that British forces,
100000 strong, remain where they
are, in token of past-and future
American aide to Great Britain.
It has now been made emphatic
ally clear that this government
will make no statement nor conn
init itself in any way on Palestine,
before the United Nations General
ASSEMBLY meets in New York in
|September.
From Secretary of State Mar
shall himself came the categorical
statement that: "It is the (State)
Departments opinion that until
such time as the Special Commit
tee (of the UNI has completed its
task and this Government has had
an opportunity to study the con-
tents of the Special Committees
report, no statement should be
made by this Government with re-
spect to it's views regarding the
future status and government of
Palestine"
The Secretary voiced this opin-
ion in letter of July 80 to Rep
resentative Jacob K. Javits, Re-
publican of New York. He and
twenty-nine Republican congress
sional colleagues had written Mar
shall asking for a Qualification of
american policy on Palestine,
whether Warren Austin, the Unit
ed States Representative to the
United Nations, would testify be-
fore the UN Special Committee,
and if so, whether he would uphold
traditional American policy.
In the State Departments view,
s expressed by Marshall, it is
not desirable" for Austin to ap-
pear before the UNSCOP; NOR
would it appear desirable for this
government to make any state
aent of policy through the United
Ptates Representative at this time

HOUSING PROGRAMS
ENDOSRED

New York, December 3 The
New York Metropolitan area is
faced with critical shortage of
building trade workers, which
threatens to endanger housing,
program plans for the next sever
al years, the National Urban Lea
que reported this week. The short
age was emphasized after an al
most futile month-long attempt
by six Urban Leagues in New
York and New Jersey to recruit
carpenters, plasters, bricklayers,
and cement finishers for work on
a mammoth New Jersey building
project. So few craftsmen wer av-
ailable that the project builder

According to. Leroy Jefries, Ma
tional Urban League Assistant Di-
rector Of Industrial Relations, the
search for Negr craftsmen was

ion card holders.
This is partly due to the. rest
rictions placed on Negro member
ship in some of the building trades
unions," said Mr.. Jefries. "The
crux of the shortage, however,
will be found in the closed door
policy of many of the building
trades unions which placed strin-
gent limitations on apprenticeship
training opportunities, for Negroes
especially but for white workers
also.
Thee ritical need for building
mechanics was recognized a year
ago at the 1916 meeting of the Ma

instead of $4,000 reported.
While the carpenters as a group
are much older than any in the
building trades, the National Ur-
ban League Official stated the same
botlenecks wer to be found in
many other construction groups.
Most of the building trades un-
ions not only set up severe res
trictions on the admission of new
apprentices he said, but viii not
accept Negro members of appren-
tees. For example, in Baltimore,
electrical workers, glazers, plum
bers, and sheet metal workers will
not accept Negro mechanics or ap-
