1000 American Jews
In Holy Land Reported
Aiding Defense Work
BY the Assoeioted Press

JERUSALEM, Jan. 24.-Fewel
than 1000 of the 1900 American
Jews In Palestine are engaged ir
Jewish defense activities, informants
said today.
British, American and Jewish
sources said that almost all of the
1000 are participating in ''home
guard duty" and first aid" Prob
ably only a half dozen are in the
action squads of Hagana, the Jew
ish militia.
American Jews themselves are
reticent. about discussing the situa-
tion. Those who are active fear
possible State Department action
lifting their American citizenship
Those who are not active are self
conscious before other Jews.
2 Americans Killed.
Two Americans whose passports
still were effective have been killed.
Mosheh Pearlstein of Brooklyn,
N. Y, was killed eight days ago with
81 other Jews while on active duty
with Hagana in the Judean hills
south of Bethlehem. Ari Rabino-
witz of New York City was slain by
snipers in Arab-Jewish fighting on
the Palestine coastal plain in the
early stages of the warfare over
partition.
A spokesman for Hagana said no
American Jews are in Palmach, the
Jewish striking force which does
such jobs as blasting hotels which
Jewish intelligence say are used
as headquarters by Arab fighters.
Armed patrols of Hagana are en-
gagged, however, in what is described
as aggressive defense" operations
such as sniping and raiding villages
where Arabs are accused of organiz-
ing for attacks. Hagana said there
are perhaps half dozen Ameri-
cans" in such patrols.
Consulate Checks Activity.
The majority of Americans who
participate in any kind of activity
are in Mishmar Ham (people's
guar6 and Magen David Adom

roadblocks and prints leaflets.
Magen David Adom does work cor
responding to that of nurses aides
in American hospitals during the

The American consulate in Jeru-
salem Is keeping check on the ac-
5ivities of American nationals who
are participating in either Arab Or
Jewish armed activities.
Thus far the consulate In its re-
ports to Washington has not made

three-man faculty, all white, was
named today for Oklahoma's new
law school for Negroes---but Mrs.
Ada Sipuel Fisher, who caused it
all, says she is not interested.
The young woman, an honor
graduate of Langston University for
Negroes, declared that whatever
else she does, she will not attend
the new school.
Such a school, no matter how it
Is advertised, still does not give
us the equality of treatment for

years." she said.

branch, praised it highly and SAID,
s'It fills a need in this State.
Her fight started when she was
refused entrance to the University
of Oklahoma's law school in l946
because of her race. She carried 1t
to the Supreme Court, which said
two weeks ago that she must have
"equal facilities"
The Oklahoma Supreme Court
then ruled that this does not mean
an end to racial segregation in
Oklahoma's public schools. Inc
State then set about creating a
Negro law school in the State Cap
itol building, equal but separate
The faculty was named today to
be ready for registration Monday
and classes on Thursday. MRS.

stand in the way of your advance
ment in your naval career"
Capt. Dennison, from Warren, Pa.
Is 46 years old. He is graduate of
the Naval Academy and became a
captain in May, 1943. He served in
the Asiatic Fleet during the early
part of the war and later was Chief
of Staff, Commander Amphibious
Forces, Pacific Fleet, during the
A]eutians campaign For the latter
service he was awarded the Legion
of Merit. He became commander
of the Missouri in February, 1947.
President Truman's first two naval
eides were residents of his home
state of Missouri. The first was

now a member of the Federal Re-
serve Board. Mr.. Vardaman was
succeeded by Capt. Clark Clifford,
now the presidents special counsel.
but amazed" that a former men,
ber of the Commission should con-
sent to do as Mr.. Delano did. He
so informed President Truman.
The Fine Arts Commission chair
man brushed aside as ridiculous"
a White House explanation of the
incident comparing the whole thing
to selecting an umpire and then
throwing things at him when his
ruling is adverse.
1--WE certainly didn't select Mr..
Delano as an umpire or even con-
slider him an umpire" Mr.. Clarke
added.
He explained that such an ex-
planation on the part of the White
House, apparently, was "one way to
save face"
AS the same White House state
ment pointed out, the question of
building balcony first arose be-
fore the Fine Arts Commission last
summer. Mr.. Delano, in letter to
the Journal of the American In
stitute of Architects, had incor-
rectly given the date as April,
1s47," Mr.. Clarke explained yester-
day.

House visit Of three members OF tbs
commission were more detailed thar
the official White House version
The date was July 80, actually
With David Edward Finley ano
Frederick v. Murphy, two Washing
ton members of the commission, the
chairman called at the suggestion
of Mr.. Grim.
"We reviewed plans for balcony
drawn by Mr.. Winslow, the so-callec
White House architect" Mr.. Clarl
related. He made 1t clear that Mr.
Winslow's plans were entirely un.
satisfactory, even if the Commission
approved the idea, which 1t mos
certainly did not. No quorum o1
the commission being present, HI
informed Mr.. Grim that official &C.
ton would have to be taken later.
BE we Immediately informed hin
that in the event the President in.
sists upon going ahead, he shoulo
engage the most competent archi-
tect possible. We suggested severa
names, including Mr.. Delano's" he
explained.
Taken by Surprise.
The commission was taken COM
pletely by surprise when Mr.. Delano
strung along with the President {
desires in the matter.
He had shown Mr.. Clarke his
drawing for the balcony and Mr.
Clarke informed him, in view OF
the course things had taken that
ut is up to you."
However, on August %, when the
Commission met and unanimously
disapproved the idea,' Mr.. Clarke
said he wrote to Mr.. Grim to ac-
quaint the White House with the
fact, especially as no word had been
received from the President prior to
that date.
In this letter he pointed out that
in 118 years, no important structure
change to the White House had
been made beyond the addition OF
the West and East wings.
He expressed the hope that the
President would not 60 ahead with
plans to build the balcony under the
circumstances.
Commission Kept Informed.
The Fine Arts Commission heard
nothing more about the matter until
September. At that time the White
House usher told Mr.. Clarke the
President wanted to go ahead. He
asked the chairman, What are you
going to do about it?"
Mr.. Clarke replied that he could
"do nothing"
We've disapproved," he explained
There's no way we can prevent
the President from acting as the
commission has no veto power"
During the remainder of the fall
the Commission kept informed about
matters through the grapevine
route no word having come di-
rectly from the White House.
"In November, I wrote Mr.. Tru-
man that the Commission does not
approve the idea of building a bal
cony and hoped that he (Mr. Tru-
mani would drop the idea," the
chairman explained.
He said the President replied
thanking the commission for its in
terest and expressing the hope that
everything would work out salts
factorily for all concerned.
Nothing further was heard from
the White House until news OF the
now widely publicized balcony broke
n the press several weeks ago.

Battles Expected In Holy Land When British Rule Ends

Continued from Page One) the meeting, but good many la- bor members of parliament at tended anyway.
 Athens - Greece executed l8 more persons accused of murder, stemming largely from the 1944 uprising. Already 213 have been executed this week. Hundreds more were doomed. The British ambassador asked an explanation and at least four British newspa- pers cried out against the exec utions. U. s. officials in Greece apparently were helping to med fate differences between Greek liberals and populists in reform ing a new cabinet.
 Jerusalem, - Efforts to reach a truce for Jerusalem were made in that city and in Jericho. A responsible United Nations offic- ial said at Lake Success the Pal estine crisis could be settled if the US. and British got together. The US. wants temporary trus- teeship; the British a neutral Com mission.
 Jerusalem itself was quiet. The British army said TO new cases of typhoid had broken out in the crowded city of Acre, swollen with Arab refugees from Haifa.
 Haganah said Lebanese troops again shelled the Jewish settle ment of Ramat Naftali in northern Palestine, but there was no con- firmation elsewhere.
