nave just been listening to a
personal report on Palestine. One
gets SO many public reports on
Palestine these days, but somehow
one does not feel the confidence
In them which one gets from the
account of a friend.
My friend is Harry simonhoff
OF Miami. At one time a member
OF the state legislature of South
Carolina, he is very active in Jew
ish organizational work in the
south. He went to Palestine in a
purely private capacity and he
does not know that this is being
written.
L asked him what had been his
overall impression in Palestine.
He went to his valise and pulled
out four volumes of Shakespeare
In Hebrew which he had purchased
In Palestine. He is a veteran lover
OF Shakespeare and 1 could UNDER
stand his pleasure at seeing the
great English bard translated into
Hebrew.
II was in Palestine" he said,
"only a few weeks, and the dangers
of travel from city to city are so
great that I was forced to spend
most of my time in Tel Aviv."
"Wen," 1 said, "what was your
feeling about the all-JeWish city
of Tel Aviv?"
"Well," he replied, 1 felt ire
mendously at ease there"
"At ease nOw?" exclaimed.
Eyes, despite all you read in the
papers, there is a strange feeling
of confidence among all. It's not
a foolish confidence. It's just a
Wonderful spirit, some think,
think, which is new in Jewish life.
I was talking there with the own
er of a little orange juice stand.
He said to me: 1T may be we will
all be exterminated, but we shall
never go back to the old Jewish
ghetto life. It's either a revived
Jewish nation or complete extinc-
ton
"This was the spirit saw all
about. The people know that they
will have to make many sacrifices.
One man said to me no nation was
ever born without the spilling of
blood.
EVERY now and then we would
see them carrying the bodies of
these martyrs through the streets.
But this caused no danpening of
the spirit.
"The Jews have a terrible hatred
of the British-far more than of
the Arabs. Any Jew can reel off
to you by page and chapter the
multitude of ways in which the
British have double crossed the
Jews. It is strange indeed that at
this time when the U. N. has Offic-
ially sanctioned the existence of
the Jewish state the British should

members of the Haganah standing
guard.
"They are doing some remark
able things in Palestine" Simon
hoff went on. II took up a little
book listing the various industries
of Palestine. It's amazing how
many things are being manufact-
ured there. The little book to
which 1 refer is no Sears-Roebuck
catalog, but there are many much
larger countries which could not
show as good a record.

not a good thing, but at present

 But, he told the delegates, ''as long as men confer with their problems, even if their language is profane, there is always hope ot agreement" He said America was united in its opposition to aggres- sion. but.
 Tt does not help us to move towards more peaceful world to speak or act in terms that might give out the false impress sion that we are only concerned with an oll-out power struggle with Soviet Russia"
 Byrnes said he did not agree with people who contend we can- not build one world but must have two worlds. do not abandon hope before this we have seen governments change policies.
 We can be certain the people of Russia, like the people of the United States, do not want war"

CANNED SALMON
 ABOARD
No Accumulation of Norih- bound dFreiehi-ArmyMdy
 Load with Soldiers

SEATTLE. Sept. 7--tR--Nine ships from Alaska are reported tied up here today as result of the mari time strike.
 Nearly all of them are reported to have canned salmon cargoes.
 A check of shipping sources today indicated there is not much Alas ka-bound freight stranded on the waterfront.
 An Alaska Steamship Company official said his line had cleared up pretty well the cargoes at hand. He said the long advance warning on the strike made it possible to move it out.
 Waterfront sources said freight was not accommodating on the docks for Alaska at present. They cited two main reasons: The picket lines in front of the docks and the embar- go against shipments coming into the strike-nound port areas from other sections.
 As the CIO Maritime strike went into its sixth day. the Army said there was possibility 1t might use soldiers to load supplies aboard strikebound commercial ships for it's Alaskan and far eastern bases.
 Col. William H. Donaldson, com mander of the Seattle Port of Em- tarkation. said the Army hoped to avoid such action but we have a job to do and we will not fail to do it.
 The unions have agreed to work lonly ships ,earrytng war dead, in- coming mali and passenger baggage. Donaldson said the shipments might be made from Eastern and Gulf ports.

pRE5IDENT MAKES SIX SPEECHES TO ''tI(H|GAN CROWDS
tBy The Associated PressD


 President Truman's six Michi- gan speeches covered several sub jects likely to be major campaign issues. But for the most part his words were addressed to labor There was one embarrassing incl dent, however. That occurred when the Presidents train stopped at To- ledo, and MT. Truman came out to make a platform address.
 MT. Truman said that he in- tended to visit every whistle stop in the United States carrying message to the people.
 Then he asked the cheering trainside crowd: Do you want to go forward with a Democratic ad- ministration or back to the horse and buggy days with the Republi- cans?"
 At that point. someone in the crowd yelled You are going to get all of labors votes"
 The President apparently mis- understood, what with all the noise going on. He probably thought the speaker said that he wasn't going to get labor's votes. So the Presi- dent shot back: What do you know about it? Labor knows it's friends. Labor knows which side it's bread is buttered on."

5TAS5EN REPLIES TO. TRUMAN'5 SPEECHES
By JACK BELL

DETROIT, Sept. m Harold E Stassen asserted today that Presi-
 dent Truman has made an l80-de- gree turn in his attitude toward
 lator since Mir. Truman asked authority in l946 to draft strikers into the Army.
 Stassen, here to answer the Presi- dents six-speech campaign in Mich igan yesterday, told news confer ience he heard the Presidents appeal
 for labor support in Detroit yes- terday.
 That speech brought back for me memories of another speech he made to Congress on May 25, l946. when the President asked for the most totalitarian power over labor ever proposed in time of peace Stas- lsen declared.

 TO HANDLE
 U. 5. CARGO
Bridges, in Seattle, Makes Statement on Moving Army Supplies

SEATTLE, Sept. 7--4R--Harry Bridges. President of the CIO h. ternational Longshoremen & Ware housemen's Union said here today striking West Coast longshoremen will handle any essential Army car go He did not specify just what the union might deem non-essentials
 Bridges added that if the cargo isn't moved, the blame will rest with the employers.
 He said that military cargo could be handled either through private stevedoring companies or by the Army itself hiring the dock workers as it has done at times in the past
 The maritime leader addressed Seattle members of his union.
 The only thing we insist on is that the prevailing wage for the area is paid Bridges said. We recently signed agreements here with inde- pendent employers providing a l5- cent hourly wage increase
 Bridges explained that the new wage rate should be put into eff feet on Army work, but if a higher or lower scale is established in set tling the coast-wide strike, adjust- ments would be made.
 The Army could hire the workers directly but members of the Water- front Employers Association wouldn't like that Bridges said That would cut out tneir pound of flesh and the employers always like to get that pound of flesh on everything
 Bridges said the union would ap- peal directly to President Truman Il the Army tired to move the cargo with military work battalions.
 We think the President has cone a pretty good job of strike-break- ing in the past" he commented but this would give him chance to demonstrate if he is the friend of labor that he claims to be now that he is seeking votes"

 The protest may go either to Mar shal Vassily D. Sokolovsky. Russia $ Military Governor in Germany. or to the Soviet Government in Mos- COW, the source said.

 T need not emphasize the serious ness with which the deterioration in the Berlin position, resulting from the demonstrations of minority party. is regarded here in London"
 The spokesman said he could not comment officially on what action was contemplated by the Western Powers
 The three military commandants of the Western Powers were holding a special meeting in Berlin to con- slider yesterdays riots in which Rus sian-Zone German police arrested Western German zonal policemen in the City Hall after German Com munists took over the building.
