British Expected to Refer
Palestine Issue to U.N.

plan as another step in a care
fully laid program which would
strangle the Jewish national home
and bring about its liquidation
by stages"
The plan, said DR.. Neumann,
had there detectives:
CD The confinement of the
Jews to severely restricted por-
tions of Palestine. This restric-
ton is disguised by giving the
name "cantons" or provinces" to
what is actually a pale of settle
ment or ghetto with a mere pre-
tense of local autonomy
(2) Freezing the Jewish popu-
lation as permanent minority of
no more than one third of the
population. This principle does
not preclude the admission from
time to time of certain number
of Jewish settlers provided it is
so restricted as not to affect the
ratio.
90 The gradual implemnnta-
ton of constitutional arrange
ment which will finally subject
the Jews to the domination of the
guaranteed Arab majority in a
puppet state under permanent
British tutelage.
Bevin told the Arab delegates
that British troops could not go
on indefinitely enforcing the re-
strictions on Jewish immigration
and land purchases which were
imposed by the 1889 White Paper.
The British Government, said Be-
vim, is particularly anxious to do
nothing to outrage Arab opinion,
but he added that he also had to
take into consideration public
feeling in other parts of the
world"

Tension Prospect
Seal Haifa Port

HAIFA, (JPS-Palcor) - The
first step in what may augur an
economic war on Jewish Palestine
which may result in the sealing
off of Palestine's ports from all
trade with the rest of the world,
was seen in cable received by
shipping agents here from Sgd
ney, Australia announcing that by
order of British authorities" no
cargo may be accepted in Aus
tralian ports for unloading in Pal
estine. The cable reports that the
Norwegian freighter Tarn has al
ready been held up in Sydney
harbor by this order which also
forbids steamship companies from
accepting consignments from Aus
tralia for Palestine. Palestine inn
porters have been advised that
their consignments from Australia
will hereafter be unloaded at Port
Said, Egypt, and the transhipment

Tucson UJA Women's Division
launched their drive with a beau
tiful and markedly successful
luncheon and fashion show at the
Pioneer Hotel Feb. 18th. More
than 200 women were present and
the sum of $5,732 raised at the
luncheon bringing the Women's
Division total raised to date to
$10,216. Tucson women proved
they knew the great need by their
generosity.
Mrs. Aaron Levy, vice-chair-
man for the Women's Division
presided at the luncheon and in
troduced the guest speaker, Mrs.
Sophie Spanjaard, whose story of
her own tragic experiences as an
inmate of concentration camps
held her audience spellbound

They were among the first ex-

as a result of starvation, exposure

In an interview with the Ari-

EVICTED JEWS MUST
PAY RENT

Jerusalem, (JPS-Palcor)-Dis-
possessed Jewish families must
continue to pay rent for the apart
ments from which they have been
evicted by British troops, until
their leases expire, Richard
Stubbs, Government Information
Officer, implied at a press con-
ference here, when he said that
he doubted if legislation would
be passed to relieve the evicted
persons of the necessity of pay
ing rent.

ARABS OFFER HOMES
TO JEWS

JERUSALEM, (JPS-Palcor) -
Arabs in Jerusalem and Haifa ral-
lied to the aid of their dispos-
sessed Jewish friends with offers
to accommodate them in their
own homes. DR.. Fritz Mandl, a
prominent Viennese-Jewish ply
sician, who with his family of
eight was ordered to leave his
combination home and clinic,
was visited by a group of Arab
patients from a nearby village
who suggested that the Mandl
family and the clinic be moved to
their homes.

LONDON (WNS)-With both
the Jews and the Arabs rejecting
the Bevin plan for the solution of
Palestine's difficulties, the indica-
tions were that the problem would
be thrown into the lap of the
United Nations.
Some observers are inclined to
the view that Britain might ask
for special session of the United
Nations Assembly. Others are
inclined to the view that it would
serve no purpose to call in the
United Nations until Britain had
some concrete plan to present.
The view was also expressed that
the United Nations might throw
the problem "back into the lap
of Britain for solution.
An indication of the reactions
of the American Zionists to the
Governments proposals was given
in statement issued by DR.. En-
anuel Neumann, a member of the
executive of the Jewish Agency
for Palestine and a vice-president
of the Zionist Organization of
America. He characterized the

Congregation Temple Emanu-
Ell at special meeting, Feb. 10Th,
voted to accept with reluctance
and regret, the request of Rabbi
Joseph H. Gumbiner to be re-
lieved of his contract, effective
Sept. 1st. Rabbi Gumbiner plans
to continue graduate study for a
Phi. D. degree. His contract was
effective to Sept. 1949. The Rabbi
is now in his sixth year with the
Congregation.
The Board has initiated action
to secure a successor thru the Un-
ion of American Hebrew Congre-
cations who are prepared to give
such service. Appointed by Mr..
William Davidson, president, to
act as an appointment commit
tee to screen applicants and make
recommendations to the Congre-
CATION are Hyman Myerson, chair
man, William LeBoff, Mark Klaf-
ter, Louis Posner, Max Segal.
Commenting on the impending
departure of Rabbi Gumbiner,
Rev. George Ferguson, st. Phil
ip's-in-the Hills said, HE has
made a distinct contribution to
the community, not only from
point of view of intellectual acu-
men, but thru his interest in COM
munity problems which had not
previous been given attention.
He has a fine spirit of understand
ing and genuine fellowship with
everyone with whom he is asso-
ciated, and particularly the clergy.
We are going to miss him in the
community, and I shall person
ally"

Je,os and Arabs Reject
Latest British Offer

LONDON, (Palcor)-The Jew
ish Agency Executive and Arab
representatives here last night
both flatly rejected the latest Bri-
tish proposal to cantonize Pales-
tine. The Jewish rejection was
handed to the Government by Da-
vid ben Gurion, Chairman of the
Agency Executive, at the fourth
in a series of informal meetings
between Agency leaders and Bri-
tish Officials in the Colonial Of
flee, which lasted two and a half
hours.
The Arab delegation to the Lon
don conference notified the Gov
ernment earlier that it rejects
outright the proposals. 1t is be-
lieved however, that the Arabs
have agreed to listen to further
explanations" from the Govern
ment. The Arab News Agency
hinted the plan represents a ma
jor concession to the Arabs and
hints that the latter should agree
to some Jewish immigration in or
der to secure American and Unit
ed Nations approval of the plan.
Mr.. Ben Gurion is understood
to have explained in detail, the
reasons for the Jewish Agency's
rejection of the latest British plan,
which, according to reliable re-
ports is a variation of the rejected
Grady Morrison plan, but con-
tanning some features even more
Objectionable than the original.
Main features of the plan are:
u Creation of two semi-auton-
omous districts, Arab and Jewish,
subject to the overall authority
The Arizona post., 1947-02-21

of the British Government.
q Boundaries of the two areas
will not be set beforehand, but
must be decided up by a majority
of the population in a particular
district.
81 100000 Jews will be admit
ted to the Jewish areas over a
period of two years, after which
the British High Commissioner
can cut the figure if he decides
it is necessary.
~ The plan will run for five
years, subject to review after two
years.
s. Local council in the Jewish
and Arab communities will be the
sole contracting agencies with the
High Commissioner without the
interference of any outside bod
les"
g. After five year trial, if the
plan proves successful, the Pales-
tine problem would be referred to
the United Nations Trusteeship
Council for advice.

Broadway WIds
Yield 'Possums,
Hawks and Foxes
By the Assoeiotsd Press

YONKERS, N. Y, Aug. 19.-The
wild life of Broadway-in this case
North Broadvay--is proving to be
almost more than English-born Ern-
est G. Scott can handle.
AS poultry keeper on a 175-acre
estate within committing distance
of New York City, Mr.. Scott in re-
cent weeks has shot down four
Cooper's hawks, trapped two opos-
sums, two gray foxes and one red
fox, and recently he and his dog
treed but did not kill two raccoons.
"Since spring the vermin have
taken 100 of our birds-mostly
chicks" Mr.. Scott, so, related. He
is custodian of TOO chickens, tur-
keys, ducks, pileasants, pigeons and
a few rabbits and fears he is fight
ing a losing battle.
In England, where he was game
