China Reported Refused
100000, 900 Silver Loan
BY the Assoeiofed Press

NANKING, Mar. 4.-American
officials have informed the Chinese
government that it is not feasible
at this time to grant a requested
loan of $2O0,0O0,0O0 in silver, in
formed sources said today.
Among the principal reasons
cited was that the unstable Ma
tionalist economy could not derive
lasting benefits from such a loan.
The danger that the silver dollars
minted by the NationalistS would
be drained off abroad or into
Chinese Communist areas was
pointed out also.
New Communist regulations in
North China are reported to for
bid free circulation Of silver dol
lars. However, some sources fear
that silver dollars now circulating
in Nationalist territory may be
slowly absorbed into Communist
areas by attractive exchange rates
being offered there.

pared for the give.and-take of family
living. Small disputes have less chance of
growing into serious quarrels which may
tear marriage apart. The family united
in faith has a strong and lasting bond.
Children naturally turn to faith when
it is daily part of the family life. And
when they know the real meaning of faith,
they will be tolerant of those who express
their faith in other ways.
The home atmosphere is far different

mistice agreements between Israel
and the Arab states "may not be
worth the paper they are written
on" Rep. Emanuel Celler of New
York warned recently in a state
ment criticizing DR.. Ralph j.
Bunche for asking to resign as

not over" He questioned DR..
Bunche's reasons asking for an end
to his task. DIR. Bunche had asked
that his functions be transferred

explaining that the military phase
of the conflict had ended and that

Community Gets Plea for PaidUp UJA Pledges to Help
Meet Israel Economic Crisis; 10000 Penned in Camps

A special effort was being made
this week by officials of the
United Jewish Welfare Fund in
Phoenix to collect paid-up pledges
so that desperately-needed cash
may be sent to the United Jewish
Appeal for economic reconstruc-
ton in Israel.
They are asking members of the
community to do three things:
1. Send in all the cash pos
sible at once so it may be
transmitted overseas upon re-
ceipt.
2. If they have not pledged,
do so now.
3. If they have pledged and
feel that they can increase it,
do so.
One hundred per cent Of all new
pledges and additional pledges goes
to UJA at once.
DIR. Joseph Bank, chairman of
the UJWF, quoted the following
telegram sent by Henry Monitor,
national UJA executive director,
directly from Jerusalem:
Earnestly plead you mobilize
community to forward maximum
possible sum to United Jewish APP
peal Immediately. Only by clos
ing our ears morally to the pitia-
BILE cry for help that comes from
10000 human beings penned up
in intolerable camps here can we
continue our lives at ease in Amer
lea. Crowded like animals into
flimsy tents, given minimum med
cal attention, unable to obtain self
sustaining jobs, all because of fail
ure of UJA to provide adequate
cash, these immigrants are chal-
lenge to our conscience and seri-
Gus obstacle in path of essential
development of this state which
has such magnificent promise. In
all honor / urge your action as a
sacred duty"
Morgenthau Sends Plea
DIR. Bank also quoted this tele-
gram from General Chairman
Henry Morgenthau, Jr.:
"Have received following cable
from Henry Monitor now in Israel:
imperative United Jewish Appeal
cable five million dollars here.
Food situation in camps has
reached lowest point in year. Credit
extended to breaking point, with
supplies halted unless funds can
be provided Immediately. If you
could see quality and quantity of
rations, you would agree that
everything else in our communities
should be thrust aside to concen-
trate on getting this money to-
gether at once. Please cable as
surance money forthcoming so l
may transmit word encourage
ment.' This call for help must and
can be answered by American Jew
ish Communities"

2 Billion German
Claim Is Studied

JERUSALEM, (JTA) = Estab-
lishment of a provisional West
German government after this
weeks elections has revived the
question Of Jewish claims on Ger
many, and conference of inter-
national experts here, just ended,
considered the issue and drew up a
plan of action.
The government of Israel, in CO.
operation with the World Zionist
Organization, is today maintaining
contact with the big powers on
the subject, which nearly everyone
here feels should be considered in
it's widest possible aspects.
One approach to the subject is
that a formula should be found
whereby Germany may reasonably
be required to furnish the econo-
mic resources necessary for the
settlement and absorption of those
European Jews who have migrated
or will migrate to Israel.
The minimal claim put forward
provides for the payment to the
state of Israel, or to the national
institutions, of two billion dollars
in reparations. This figure is iden-
tical with the capital which gov
ernment economists conservatively
estimate will be required for the
effective absorption of the large
number of new immigrants and
the stable development of the
country's economy over the next
five wears.

DPS Protest
Hate Letter,
Fight Police

MUNICH, (JTA )-Several hun
dred displaced Jews clashed here
last week in hand-to-hand fighting
with about SO German policemen
when the latter tried to break up
protest demonstration against a
German newspaper which pub
lished a letter expressing regret
that the Nazis had not gassed all
the Jews.
Several Jews were reported in
jured when a German policeman
used his revolver, as the demon
strators hurled stones at the police
in their attempts to continue the
demonstration. In retaliation, the
demonstrators set a police car on
fire and damaged three others.
American military police were
cheered by the demonstrators
when they arrived on the scene.
When the German police were
withdrawn, an American officer
addressed the demonstrators in
Yiddish, the German news agency
D.P.D. reported.
Declaring that he was not speak
ing as an American officer, but as
Jew, he said the demonstration
had shown once again that the
Jews were not willing to allow
themselves to be insulted. He then
asked them to disperse quietly.
Gestapo Tactics Charged
A statement issued by the Jew
ish Central Committee said that
the German police acted ruthless
ly and according to Gestapo me-
thods." The statement reported
that three foreign Jews are among
those shot, and seriously wounded,
by the German policemen.
The anti-Jewish letter which
provoked the demonstration ap-
peared in the Sude-Deutsche lei
tung, daily newspaper called by
the displaced Jews the "Stuermer
of 1949" - referring to the vio-
lently anti-Semitic paper Der
Stuermer published by Julius
Streicher, top Nazi Jew-baiter un-
der the Hitler regime. The letter
was published under the title,
"The Jewish Question = a Test
Case" and was signed adolf
Bleibtrue" which means "remain
true to Adolf"
The Silent Ones
The letter urged Jews to go to
the United States, but added that
they were not wanted there either.
"They already have enough of
these bloodsuckers in America"
the writer of the letter said. De-
claring that he works in an Ameri-
can Military Government office in
Germany, the author of the letter
stated:
81 work for the Americans, and
they say they can forgive us
everything except that we did not
gas all the Jews who are now
bringing their blessings to Ameri-
ca. l am doing all that l can to
clear the Americans minds for
them. l belong to those known as
the silent ones and our rumor
propaganda is worth more than a
hundred newspapers. At the right
time you will hear more from me-"
AMG Blamed
The Jewish Central Committee
here started legal proceedings
against the "Sude-Deutsche lei
tung." The proceedings are being
taken by Jewish community lead
ers under the law barring incite-
ment to race hatred.
The Jewish Central Committee
also made public a resolution
blaming the American Military
Government for the growth of
"neo-Fascism" in Germany. The
resolution emphasized that no Jew
intends to remain in Germany.
