upheaval of evacuation. Losses, he
declared, arose from vandalism,
forced liquidations, and from
number of other factors.
Like McC1oy he praised the CO.
operative attitude of the japanese
during evacuation and stressed that
while he did not know how many
claims would be filed the princi-
pie of the bill is so important that
it should be approved.
The Honorable Francis Biddle,
who was attorney general at the
time of evacuation, appeared be-
fore the committee in personal
capacity He urged speedy enact
ment of the bill because it remedies
not only the physical losses of eva
cuation but it remedies a moral
wrong" He described the evacua-
ton as a most tragic and unfor-
tmate thing"
Impressive testimony was also
given by Edward J. Ennis who de-
clared. 1T should be a part of the
workings of democracy that when
the opportunity comes to recon-
pense a people who bore more
than their share of the burden,
Congress should provide the au-
thority to make amends even in a
modest way"
Galen M. Fisher, California civic
leader, who is visiting the east
coast testified for the measure, as
sorting the bill would give strong
support to the democratic movement
in Japan, which is looking to
America for manifestations of this
democracy"
Mike Masaoka, the last witness,
explained the JACL's interest in
the bill and urged prompt Senate
consideration of the measure. He
pointed to the outstanding testimo-
ny and editorials from wide sec
ton of the country attest to the
desirability of h S legislation,
pointing out he did not believe
there was any real opposition to
the measure. The JACL's 67-page
statement supporting H. R. 5000
was submitted to the committee.
Senator Eugene D. Millikin R.,
Colo) submitted a statement en-
dorsing the bill.
The Washington office of the
JACL ADO reported that the Sc
nate Judiciary Committee may act
possibly this week on the bill.

Arab Dispute Flares
Again Over Separate
Reqime in Palestine
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

CAIRO, Dec. 9.-Smoldering
Arab differences over control of
Palestine f1ared anew today. This
time Abdullah, King of Trans
Jordan, was on the receiving end
The issue resolved itself into q
dispute between the Palestine Arab
government-whose present where
abouts appear to be a mystery
and the Palestine congress, body
of delegates from Palestinian po-
litical organizations and municipali-
ties. The congress claims to repre-
sent all Arab Palestine.
The Palestine Arab government,
which has been at odds with Alb
dullah since its creation last Sep
tember, announced last night it
cannot approve the Trans-Jordan
governments reported intention OF
proclaiming King Abdullah as the
sovereign of Palestine"
Mufti Heads Government.
The government, headed by Hal
Amin el Husseini, exiled Multi OF
Jerusalem, said such action would
amount to accepting the principle
of partition of the Holy Land.
The Palestine congress in a con-
ference at Jericho last week asked
Abdullah to become king of Pales-
tine.
A reliable informant said yester-
day that the Amman government
would proclaim Abdullah king OF
Palestine Monday. The informant
said q new Trans-Jordan govern
ment would be formed with a
Trans-Jordan premier, eight Pales-
tinian ministers and six Trans-Jor'
danian ministers.
Commenting on the congress pro-
posal, the Palestine Arab govern
ment said:
/ "Organizers of the Jericho con-
ference have exploited the tragedy
of the refugees and their desire to
return to their homes. Those at
tending the conference were not the
true representatives of the Pales-
tine people"
The Palestine Arab government
was proclaimed by the Arab League
with headquarters in GAIA in
Southern Palestine. It's members
headed south when GAIA was threat
ened by Israel's Negeb offensive.
Abdullah Rejected Regime.
The exiled Mufti repeatedly has
not been on the best of terms with
Abdullah. His nephew, Jamal Eff
endi Husseini, the governments for
eign minister, had several confer
ences with Abdullah last october in
an effort to get his support for the
league created government.
| Abdullah made it plain from the
start that he wanted no part of the
government. He said it amounted
! to partition and that he wouldn
have the regime in his security
zone"
The Trans-Jordan monarch has
declared his government consider.
all of palestine as it's security zone.
Underlying the dispute is an ole
issue-Abdullah' oft-repeated Piles
for a greater Syria. Under this
plan, Abdullah would unite Trans.
Jordan, Syria, Palestine and Irac
into one large Arab nation.
