The ForrestuI Diaries
Futile Attempt Made to Take Palestine Issue
Out of Politics and Retuin Arub Amity

I said that II I were in the
other party I would listen pa
tiently to the impact of this
question on the security of the
United States. and If it was
dangerous to let it continue to
be a matter Of barter between
the two parties, I felt confident
that I would try to put 1t on a
national and bipartisan basis.

campaign with Senator j.

cratic national chairman.)

I said to McGrath that !
thought the Palestine question
was one of the most important
in our American foreign policy,
and that If we were talking
about lifting foreign affairs out
of domestic politics. there was
nothing more important to lift
out than Palestine. with all its
domestic ramifications. I said
the Palestine-Jewish question
was similar to the Fire Irish
question Of 40 years ago and
that neither should be permit
ted to have any substantial in
f1uence on American policy.
McGrath' answered that he
realized how serious the situa-
ton was.

(Mr. Forrestal derived sew
eral points from McGrath's
conversation. In the first
place, Jewish sources were
responsible for a substantial
part of the contributions to
the Democratic National
Committee, and many of these
contributions were made with
a distinct idea on the part
Of the givers that they will
have an opportunity to ex-
press their views and have
them seriously considered on
such questions as the pres

was a feeling among the Jews
that the United States was
not doing what it should to
solicit votes in the U. N. Gen.

Palestine partition. (To this
Mr.. Forrestal objected that it
was precisely what the State
Department wanted to avoid;
that we had gone a very long

Is. The Palestine Question


(Mr. Forrestars activity in
the Palestine question-one
of the most controversial as
poets of his career-sprang
at bottom from his sense of
the immense strategic signifi-
canoe of the Middle East. It
was just after the Republic
can victory in the congress
sional election Of 1916 that he
first broached the idea that
Palestine with all its explo-
sive implications. might be
lifted above the American
partisan battle. Yea through
1947 it seemed to become
only more deeply entangled
in domestic politics. as an
example indicates:

negan POSTMASTER GeneraD
brought up the question of the
Presidents making a statement
of policy on Palestine, particu-
larly with reference to the en-
trance of 10000 Jews into
Palestine. He said he didn't
want to press for a decision one
way or the other but simply
wanted to point out that such
a statement would have q very
great influence and great effect
on the raising of funds for the
Democratic National Commit
tee. He said very large sums
were obtained a year ago from
Jewish contributors and that
they would be Influenced in
either giving or withholding by
what the President did on Pal
estine. I pointed out that
the Presidents remarks on Pal
eStine a year ago did not have
the expected effect in New
York's election. ct was added
that the President was prompt
ed to make the statement by
Rabbi abba HilleD Silver, who
was neither a Democrat nor
friendly to Truman. and said
that the net effect of the Presi-
dents observation was to make
the British exceedingly angry.
(Mr. Forrestal determined
to try his hand.)

it would not be possible to lift

obviously was skeptical. An

proposal was considered. Harold
Stassen has insisted in testimony
before Congressional committees
that the late Senator Vanden-
berg, Republican, of Michigan.
said Mr.. Jessup was there and
proposed ending aid to the Chi

Mr.. Stassen said the proposal
was put forward by MIR. Acheson
and Mr.. Jessup as q dramatic

Recited Facts.
Mr.. Acheson today recited "the
facts relative to the situation
and asserted:
ut is clear that no proposal
was put forward as a dramatic
peace move, but that the ques-
ton at the time had to do with
whether deliveries of military sup
plies in the military situation of
early 1949 would have any bene-
fetal effect or might result in
such equipment falling into Com
munist hands,"
He added that it is also clear
that Mr.. JesSup, who was q mem
ber of the United States to the
United Nations at the time, was
not involved in any way in this
matter"
Mr.. Acheson gave the facts
about the disputed White House
conference as follows:
"On January Ia, 1949, the
President directed that military
supplies under the China aid act
be delivered insofar as possible in
accord with advice of our military
authorities in China.
Situation Deteriorating.
"At the time this decision was
made the military situation in
China was deteriorating. 1t was
therefore essential that the advice
OF the United States military au-
thorities on the ground govern the
shipment of supplies in order to
prevent such supplies being de-
hvered into Communist hands.

Legislative Council Ends Crime Inquiry in

of organized gambling and cor
ruption charged that Nelson lied
under oath on five occasions while
testifying before the Senate Crime
Investigating Committee last
August.
Immediately after submitting
the eight-page indictment to
Chief Judge Bolitha j. Laws, the
grand jury resumed its inquiry
into the thriving gambling
rackets that have roots in Mary
land and Virginia as well as the
District.
Could. Get so Years.
The perjury indictment subjects
Nelson to possible maximum
penalty Of so years imprison-
ment. Conviction on each count
carries a sentence of from to
10 years.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney John w. Fihelly, who is di-
recting the grand jury probe. told
reporters that today's indictment
answered the first question raised
by the Senate committee when
it referred the Nelson case to the
District prosecuting authorities.
When the committee concluded
public hearings on the Washing
ton area crime situation, Acting
Chairman Kefauver announced
that Nelson records would be
certified to United States Attor-
ney George Morris Fay for pos
sible perjury action and other
criminal charges.
In the first count of the indict-
ment. the grand jury charged that
Nelson lied when he told the Sen
ate probers that he never had been
engaged in the numbers business.
Other Occasions Noted.
On this point, the document
stated that Nelson testified falsely
that he never had been engaged
in the numbers business-particu-
larly during the three months
prior to his testimony on August 9
whereas in truth and in fact.
as Charles E. Nelson knew, he had
been engaged in the numbers
business not only during the
three-month period but on other
occasions prior thereto"
The second count charged that
Nelson perjured himself by deny
ing that he knew Blight Lees
connection with Robert Nowland
Associates, which the indictment
described as "a concern in which
Charles E. Nelson had from time
to time invested money and re-
ceived financial profits from his
investments. Lee is a former
Arlington gambler.
The third count charged Nelson
lied when he said he would not
know" who else was connected
with Nowland's business. In the
words of the grand jury. Nelson
"unlawfully. wilfully and contrary
to his oath testified falsely that
he would not know who else was
a member of the Nowland Asso-
ciates," when in fact he well
knew who else was in the firm.
The Nowland Business.
Count four charged Nelson
falsified by claiming not to know
the nature of the Nowland busi-
ness. The indictment stated that
''in truth and in fact the said
Charles E. Nelson not only knew
what business Nowland Associates
were in, but also knew all SUBJ
stantial details as to the type and
nature of that business"
Finally, the grand jury charged
that Nelson testified falsely to
the Senators that his wife, Vir-
ginia (Madge) Nelson was not
and never had been partner in
Nowland Associates, whereas, the
jury declared, he knew that his
wife had been a partner.
AS the grand jury resumed its
gambling inquiry it was announced
at Upper Marlboro that the Prince

Montana farmer-stockman., 1951-09-15

He was a lonely
little puppy too, and sometimes in
the night when he couldn't sleep, he
wondered just what would become of
him. Then he would whine and cry
until the other pets became angry
with him and scolded him. Then he
felt very bad, indeed.
One day, however, when the puppy
without a name was so lonely he
thought he couldn't stand it any
longer, something happened. The pet
shop owner received a letter in the
mail.
All the pets were excited, for they
had learned that when the pet shop
owner received mail It meant that
some one of them would soon get a
home, and that was the thing most
Of them wanted above everything

Dor, do you suppose someone wants
a cat?"
The pets didn't have long to wait.
The shop owner walked down the
aisles with the letter in his hand. It
was soon clear that he was going to
the aisle where the dogs were kept.
He walked right past all of them,
straight to the cage where the puppy
lived.
yes, sir, young fellow" said the
shop owner, II think you will do
nicely" That night he made crate
and placed the puppy in it. Then he
took him in his car to the railroad
station. There he was put on the
train.
Soon the train began to move. The
noise of the wheels on the track
frightened the little puppy out Of
his wits. He howled and whined and
cried. A man with blue coat and
cap on came into the baggage car
and talked to him and petted him.
and the little puppy began to know
that nothing would harm him. He
ate greedily when he was fed, be-
cause he was suddenly very hungry
