Congregation To
Sponsor Mammoth
Outdoor Even t

At the last meeting of the Con-
gregation, initial plans were
made to hold a statewide Barbe-
cue Dance and Swim Party on
Sunday, June 1st, at Rancho Del
Rio, Sabine Canyon. This event
will be the first of a series of plan
ned affairs to be undertaken by
the newly formed Outing Club
Committee. Chairman is Sam
Sloan. On his committee are M.
Berman, Sam Feinman, Joe Will
lis, Sam Wolden.
"It will be the largest outing
ever held in Arizona, by the
Jewry of the state" says Mr..
Sloan. Invitations will be sent
shortly to all the congregations,
and all organizations in the state.
A crowd of between 1000 and
5000 is expected, according to Mr..
Sloan.
Admission charge will include
privileges of swimming, dancing,
and the barbecue buffet. There
will be a ball-game, races for chill
dren with prizes awarded Inter
esting activities are planned to
please the various inclinations of
the guests. A program is being
planned befitting the auspicous
occasion when there will be guests
from the various communities
throughout the state.
The committee considers it for
tunate that Marvin Kratter has
graciously made all the facilities
of his beautiful ranch available
for this occasion. No finer setting
could have been secured, they
feel.

stine. However, the Executive
stated representatives of the
Agency will be empowered to
consider other solutions WI h
will insure uninterrupted Jewish
immigration, wide Jewish settle
ment and an eventual Jewish
State. The American section Of
the Jewish Agency Executive has
been empowered to conduct poll
tical activity before the U. N. with
the cooperation of the entire EX-
ecutive.
In a strong condemnation of
terrorism, which it declared did
political moral harm" to Jewish
Palestine and the Jewish cause,
the Executive issued a final warn
ing to dissident groups to accept
national discipline and asserted
that the World Zionist OrganiZa-
ton and the entire Zionist Move
ment twill extend full aid to the
Yishuv in its efforts to combat
terrorism" The Executive also
declared that the Jewish people
demand recognition "of the right
of every Jew needing a home to
return to the Homeland of his
people and rebuild his life there
anew"
They agreed that if the Pal
estine problem is brought before
the United Nations this will be
a significant political deviation.
The international character of
Palestine and the Jewish peoples
problems will be re-emphasized.
The whole issue will emerge
from the confines of controversy
between the Jewish people and
the mandatory Government and
become a matter for international
responsibility.

Seek Rescuer of
Hungarian Jews,
Wallenberg

Washington, (WNS)-An ur-
gent plea to the United States
Government to ascertain the
whereabouts of Raoul Wallenberg,
American-educated Swedish dip
lomat credited with saving more
than 10000 Jews from Hungar-
ian Fascists in wartime Buda-
pest, was made here this week by
Iver Olsen, member of the Swed-
ish delegation to the United Ma
tions.
Wallenberg was sent from
Stockholm to Budapest in July,
1914 as the representative of the
War Refugee Board. He carried
Swedish diplomatic credentials
but was really engaged as an un-
dercover agent for President
Roosevelt in rescuing Jewish re-
fugees from the Gestapo. He was
last seen on January II, 1945,
under motorcycle escort of three
Soviet officers, and has since been
reported, by unofficial sources, to
be in a Czechoslovakian prison
camp in the Ukraine
Wallenberg, Olsen said, "was a
man in a million. He worked "a
hours a day for more than six
months. He ran a regular COM
pound of apartment houses filled
with thousands of people, whom
he fed, clothed and protected
against marauding bands of Ar
row Cross Fascists. Many times
he rushed to railroad depots to
snatch men, women and children
from deportation trains on the
way to determination camps in
Germany.
The United States, which was
partly responsible for sending
Wallenberg to Nazi occupied
Hungary, Olsen maintained,
shares moral responsibility in
trying to find him."
An official of the Swedish del
egation here said that 'the Rus
slams have never published any
facts to support reports of Wal
lenberg's DEATH" However, the
fact that Soviet military author
tiles in Budapest recently per-
mitted memorial services to be
held for Wallenberg, it is believed
in Swedish Government circles,
might give weight to the theory
that Wallenberg was killed by
Hungarian fascists

Liberalism Is
Endangered Says
Martha Sharp

One of the seasons outstanding
speakers was Martha Sharp, who
spoke at the HadaSsah Donor
Luncheon. 1t was Martha Sharp
who opposed Rep. Joseph Martin
in Connecticut last year, giving
the veteran a strenuous fight to
retain his seat.
In an exclusive interview with
the Arizona Post, Mrs. Sharp
talked about the present political
situation, which she said disturbS
her greatly.
Every liberal has been put
'on the spot for his liberalism
and its shades of liberalism. Re
dictionaries have succeeded in
driving a wedge between hber-
ais. I saw the same thing happen
in Germany, in Czecho-Slovakia.
1t is a typical method of the fas-
cists.
Anyone who is outspoken
about his liberal ideas will either
be relegated into oblivion where
he will be harmless or if he is i'm
portant enough, will be investi-
gated by the un-American Activi-
ties Committee and found to be
a Communist.
''This is a time when liberals
must zealously guard their civil
liberties-all of them! We must
look beyond the surface as vot-
ers and responsible citizens. Mi
nority groups especially must, for
they will be the first victims of
this typical fascist technique, the
first ones slated for loss of priv
iIeges and rights.
Americans have to rethink our
responsibilities on a World-level.
Europe today is completely ex-
hausted and impoverished. 1t is
in our self-interest to help them
obtain raw materials and relief
until they can get on their own
feet. We must assist the demo-
cratic forces who have fought
and given everything for our vic
tory"
Continuing, Mrs. Sharp said,
Communism is the alternative
of despair. In France when I was
there, it was commonly said that
Communists could take over lead
ership of France by telephone

 Up to mid-afternoon no violence was reported in the mass demon stratiOns, which de GaSperi's min iSter of interior said were aimed at the overthrow of the govern ment.

Electrical engineers at the Ma

apparently overestimate the margin
of safety. They take unnecessary
risks because of previous immunity

Nation 5 Farm Population
3 Million Under 1910 Size
By the Asseeiated Press

The Nations farm population has
shrunk 100000 from it's prewar size,
according to Government reports.
The Census Bureau and the Bu-
reau of Agricultural Economics esti-
mated that 27,550,000 persons were
living on farms on January l. 1947.
This Is a gain of 100000 over the
wartime low of January /, l945, but
represents loss of 9.8 per cent from
1910. The agencies statement said
some of the difference might be at
tributed to the fact that farm popu-
lation is at seasonal low in Janu-
ary, but added:
However, most of the decline Is
explained by the fact that there was
large net movement of civilians
away from farms during the war and
not afl discharged servicemen who
lived on farms when they were in
Quoted or when they enlisted re-
turned to the farms"
The April, 1910. census showed
30.546,911 Americans on farms. The
war reduced that figure by 17.5 per
cent to low of Is, 10000 by Janu-
ary, 1945. Demobilization sent 1,660,-
600 back into agricultural areas by
January of 1916 and another TOO, 600
