In its million dollar damage suit against international and local longshoremen, the Juneau Spruce Corporation struck telling blow yesterday afternoon, through the testimony of Theodore Norton Youngs, J.S.C., agent at Prince Rupert, BIG.
 Efforts of George Anderson, San Francisco attorney for the Inter- n tional Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union, have been directed throughout the trial which opened April 27, at separating re- sponsibility of the international organization from that of Local l6
 Youngs testified as to refusal of Local 505. ILWU, to unload J.S.C. targe, and gave the following evil dence. Because of uncertainty as to the ILWU policy in the matter, following a ruling of the National Labor Relations Board, a call was made to the Vancouver, B.C., long shoremen headquarters. In turn. that office telephoned the interna- ticnal headquarters at San Fran cisco, and was told that longshore- men were not to unload the barge, regardless of the NLRB ruling.
 Youngs was followed on the stand by Melvin w. Prawitz, a lumber broker of Portland, Ore
 Prawitz testified that his firm Dent and Russell, Inc, would have purchased the entire output of Jul neau Spruce-5O million feet of lumher-at the highest market price in the industry. He said there would have been no trouble dis posing of it, due to the big demand and the great shortage of spruce

 Youngs and PrawitZ occupied the witness chair following evidence by George Schmidt, who was assistant manager of the mill when Juneau Spruce Corporation purchased 1t from Juneau Lumber Mills in l94'.
 Schmidt, after being questioned atout Alaska logging practices ana details of grading lumber for the market, gave evidence directly re- lating to the jurisdicticnal dispute between the longshoremen and h. ternational Woodw workers of America, as to handling the lum- Der.
 schmidt said the ILWU had de- manded the right to make ready, and to require one man to operate the lumber sling, another to take the sling away, and third man to boss the operation.

Plan Accepted For
Establishment Of :.
Medium-Size Towns

TEL AVN, (JTA) = Plans
for erecting numerous medium
sized towns of 5O,O00-60,0 900 pop
ulation throughout Israel have
been accepted by the government
and will be put into effect, twas
announced here this week. The
author Of the plans is Anthony
So1ov, an American town plan
ming expert, who is in this coun-
try at the invitation of the Min
istry of Labor and Reconstruc-
ton.
The government announcement
to the press emphasized that
within the next decade the pop
ulation of Israel is expected to
increase to somewhat between
100000 and 100000. Such an
increase carries with it the dan
ger of excessive density of pop
ulation in some areas and must
be prevented by decentralization,
according to town planners.
Abraham Sharon, director
general of the Ministry of La
Dor, revealed that the town plan
ming scheme provides for the Sec
tioning of the country into ten
districts, in accordance with geo.
graphical divisions. Each area
will have its own administrative
industrial and commercial CEN
ter, he added.

er' $4,000. In Italy, most of the
camps have already been liqui-
dated. In Austria only several
thousand are left; and in Ger
many the liquidation goes on at
a pace where there will not be
a single DIP camp left by the end
Of summer.
At the same time between six
and seven thousand are leaving
every month from ports of
France.
In short, something extraor-
binary is going on in Europe. A
people who have lived on that
Continent for 1000 years (Jews
are, as a matter of fact, the old
est people in Europe. They were
there before the Fall of the Ro-
man Empire), are now leaving it
en- masse in manner unknown
in modern history. In a few
years, Europe will be emptied of
Jews and Hitler's dream of a
"Judenrein" Europe will be real
lied, but not in the way he
dreamed of and tried to bring
about, for this exodus is primar-
lily voluntary. There is less an
ti-Semitism and persecution of
the Jews in Europe now than
ever before in its history, and yet
Jews are leaving it at a greater
rate than ever before. Those
people who spent years of their
lives fighting the theory of an
exodus from Europe as undesir-
able and impossible (and the
writer of these lines was one of
them, must now confess that
they were historically wrong.
Jewish history is not moving ac-
cording to their rationalistic the
cries, in this as we'll as in other
problems. 1t is well to face these
facts frankly. Not only Zionists,
but also non-Zionist Jews now
have to change some of their
theories and reorientate a good
many of their views if they want
to keep in step with Jewish his
tory.

Games In Jewish
Bowling League

The Y.M.H.A., winners of the
first half in the Jewish Commun-
ity Bowling League, defeated the
Mems Club Tigers three straight
games Monday night to jump
from fourth to tie for second in
the second half standings. Two
of the "Y' players, Milt and Mel
Hollins did the best bowling of
the evening with scores of 526
and 525 respectively for their
three games.
'By mir Dist der Schain' was
the theme song of the Masada
team, which continued its win
ming ways by defeating the Mems
Club Lions two out of three, with
Larry Schain of the victors max
ing the best score for a single
game, 214. Schain compiled a
SIG for three games to round out
a good nights work. The Masa-
da Zionists are still perched on
top of the loop by two full games.
Max Levine of the Lions scored
second high for a single game
by compiling a total of 189
points.
The B'nai Birth defeated the
Temple two out of three to stay
within striking distance of the
top team. Ernie Lebedin and
Moe Cooper of the Temple put on
a neck and neck battle for top
money in the battle for high
team score with the former nos
ing out the latter by one or two
pins in each of their games.

5000 Jews Entered
Canada In 1913

OTTAWA, (JTA) - A total of
1885 Jews arrived in Canada in
1913 among a total of 125,414
immigrants, it was revealed here
in a statistical analysis released
this week. Most of the Jewish
immigrants came from various
European DIP camps. The num-
Der of Jews who entered Canada
in 1947 was 1886.

This was brought out this week
NV one of the top officials of Is
rael. DR.. Isaac Werfel, the head
Of Jewish immigration of the
Jewish Agency for Palestine,
who is now in this country. Ac-
cording to DR.. Werfel, more than
half of the population Of the
Jewish communities in the Bal
kan states have already left their
homes and emigrated to Israel.
Specifically: $4,000 of the 10000
Jews of Bulgaria have already
settled in Israel. Out of the II,
600 Jews in Yugoslavia, 5000
have emigrated; the others have
the governments permission,
even encouragement to leave. In
Czechoslovakia, 10000 of the en-
tire Jewish population of $4,000
have left the country. The others
are preparing to leave with the
permission of the government.
The situation is somewhat more
complicated in Poland, Rumania
and Hungary because of the &C
tive opposition to mass-Jewisb
Communists, but even in these
countries a constant stream of
emigration is going on with the
consent of the governments on a
scale unknown in this century.
In Poland there are now only
$4,000 Jews (out of a prewar s.
100000, and half of these, 3d.
600 are expected to leave the
country within the next few
months with the permission of
the government. Eight hundred
will leave in the month of Febr-
uary
In Hungary, negotiations are
going on with government au-
thorities for the mass evacua-
ton of $4,000 Jews and there are
hopes that when these will leave,
permits will be obtained for
thousands of others. The most
difficult situation exists in Ru-
mania. But even in that coun-
try, DR.. Werfel obtained permis-
sion for 5000 Jews to leave every
month $4,000 have already emf
grated).
The evacuation process is more
remarkable from the Jewish DIP
camps in Germany, Austria and
Italy. Until recently, these camps
had a total Jewish population of
nearly 100000. Now it is near

Palestine Appeal In
Britoin Launched

LONDON, (JTA) - An emer-

launced here this week at a ma

This was to set up the organi-
zation for the transfer of the gov
ernment's army to Communist
control.
Yangtze Crossing Threatened.
The transfer of control had to
be completed by next Tuesday.
Otherwise. powerful Chinese Com
muist forces would cross the
Yangtze.
Rejection of the ultimatum
might well mean a resumption of
the civil war, which has been rela-
lively quiet for the last few
months. The main action has
been around Anking, about $50
miles southwest of Marking. The
Communists also have been reported
moving toward Hankow, big gov
ernment base about twice as far
up the Yangtze from Nanking.
Premier Ho Ying-chin returned
to Nanking by air from Canton
late in the day.
Before leaving Canton he told
members of the legislative and
control yuans that he would not
surrender to the Communists. He
did not say what position his cab
met would take.
Ho limited that he would move
