|Ickes AssaiIs Policy
|0n Palestine, Urges
Jewish immigration
BY III. Associated Pres.

NEW YORK, Feb. 8.-Harold L.
Ickes. former Secretary Of the In
terror, tonight termed United States
policy in reference to Palestine
completely inexplicable" and said
Jewish immigration into the Holy
Land should be permitted under
United States and British protec-
ton, if necessary.
Mr.. Ickes made the recommends
ton In a speech at a dinner held In
connection with a two-day Con-
ference on Hebrew Liberation
sponsored by the American League
for q free Palestine.
Those Jews who want to go to
Palestine have the right to do SO
and ought to be permitted to immi-
CRATE up to the capacity of Pales-
tine to absorb them." Mr.. Ickes said.
Suggests Generous Loans.
The former Cabinet member said
Loans should be promptly and
generously forthcoming, principally
from the United States, not as
charity, but to help them develop
their land"
He said '1egal obligation, as well
as conscientious scr,lple, requires
the literal fulfillment of the Balfour
Declaration" which promised to
permit Jewish immigration but was
later rescinded by a British white
paper.
Mr.. Ickes criticized the British
governments headed by Winston
Churchill and Clement Attlee for
not honoring the Balfour Declara-
ton and added that "if the policy
of successive British governments is
difficult to understood, that of the
United States Is completely in
explicable."
Cites Truman Position.
He said President Truman had
given lip service to the insistent
demand for our disavowal of the
white paper" and declared that
while the voice of America has
muttered fair words, we have done
little more than this"
Mr.. Ickes urged that increased
Jewish immigration to the United
States be permitted but said that
was not solution to the Palestine
problem. He said any partition
of the Holy Land Should be made
on the basis of the total original
area of Palestine, including Trans
Jordan, so that Palestine may have
a sufficient economic base for a
healthy growth"
He declared that the Arab League,
which is opposed to Jewish immigra-
tion into Palestine, should not "be
listened to, especially if it speaks
with the traitors voice of the Mufti
of Jerusalem"

LANCER Asks Agencies
To Avert Drastic Cuts
By Trimming Sfaffs
By Joseph YOUNG

Chairman hanger of the Senate
Civil Service Committee last night
issued friendly warning" to Fed
eral department and agency heads
to cut their stats voluntarily where
ever possible in order to avoid dras-
tic personnel slashes at the hands
Of the economy bloc" in Congress.
Supplementing his Friday speech
In which. he sharply criticized pro-
posals to fire 100000 Government
workers, Senator LANCER said, Il
am being as frank as I know how in
advising department and agency
chiefs to do everything they can
to bring about adequate reductions
In personnel
Otherwise, Senator LANCER de-
clared, Men like Taber chairman
Taber of the House Appropriations
Committee) will have free sailing in
arbitrarily ordering wholesale cuts
that will cripple and demoralize the
Federal service"
Real Economy Urged.
Much of this can be avoided If
Federal agencies will honestly try to
effect real economy and get rid of
their deadwood," Senator LANCER
continued. eff agency chiefs con-
tinue their present tendency to de-
fend the hiring of every employe on
their payroll, they will be letting
themselves wide open for mass fir
ings," the Senator asserted.
Senator LANCER reiterated his
view that while there was room for
many dismissals in the Federal
service, it was ridiculous" to talk of
firing 100000 employees. But it
isn't too far fetched to predict that
many needless firings will take
place if Government officials don't
mend their ways" he added.
Senator Langer's ire was aroused
yesterday during his committee
hearings on alleged overstaffing of
Federal personnel when Acting In
clan Commissioner William Zim-
norman told the group that he
didn't think that it was feasible
for the agency to effect any per-
sonnel reductions.
Hearings to Continue.
Later, Senator LANCER told re-
porters that such an attitude is
the thing that is going to hurt the
Federal service. Congress will never
stand for an attitude like that"
Meanwhile, the Senate Civil Serv-
Ice Committee will continue it's
hearings this week and will question
Justice Department officials to see
what personnel effects can be
achieved. The committee also is
expected this week to draw up
list of legislative proposals to cur
tail certain functions of the In.
terror Department and reduce per-
sonnel. Interior was the first de-
partment scrutinized by the COM
mittee.
Replying to Senator Langer's Fri
day speech, Mr.. Taber yesterday de-
MED that his demand for the re-
lease of 100000 Government en-
ployes had "demoralizing" effect
on the Federal service.
Surplus of Employees Seen.
II am surprised that anybody
would take that position" Mr.. Ia
ber declared. There is q great sur
plus of Government employees. That
has resulted in Generalization and
inactivity. Those who are really in
terested in the welfare Of this civil
service want to correct that Situa-
ton. That Is my position"
Although Mr.. Taber did not refer
directly to his earlier statement that
at least 1000, 900 employees should be
dropped, he indicated he has not
changed his opinion on that point.
