his annual New Years Eve ses-

The Judge for the last 18 years
has made a habit of giving sus-

killing or wounding ''lnore than

camps in Korea since the start oi
truce talks July IL, 1851. h.
Gen. Nam II said the casualty
total was obtained from allied and
International Red Cross reports,
but that Gin reality the toll Is
far higher. Actually. the allies
have reported about 200 Red pris-

camps. Hundreds more have been
wounded.
"Your side will never be able to
escape the historical responsibility
for this series Of war crimes, I"
Gen. Nam declared in a letter to

"You both have been as help

Acheson that the subcommittee 6
frequently barbed questions con-
tanned no reflection on him per-
sonally. When he remarked that
too much emphasis might have
been put on hindsight judgments,
the Secretary of State replied:
II may say that my hindsight
is sore at this point"
At other moments in the meet
ing Mr.. Acheson, while speaking
quietly and deliberately, seemed
flushed and angry.
Go ahead and criticize u.s." he
shrugged, Maybe my successor
can do better than I did. ! surely

He was especially vehement
when he disputed charges by Mr.
Chelf and other members that
State Department aides let him
down by not acquainting him with
the situation in U. N. employ
ment and in letting so many
suspected subversives get and keer
U. N. jobs.
II don't believe any of my asso-
ciates and friends have let me
or any one down." Mr.. Acheson
exclaimed. "They have done the
best they could under limitations
and circumstances Of the times.
Mr.. Acheson conceded at the
outset that the presence Of Ameri-
cans of questionably loyalty In
U. N. jobs gave the United States
a "black eye and a bad reputa-
tion." But he insisted that this
did not endanger the national
security of the United tSates.

For Use Charge Hit

A spokesman for the Air

day the air transport industry
should not be used as "an ex-
perimental guinea pig" in the
problem of charging for services
furnished by the Federal Gov
ernment to various forms of
transportation.
Milton w. Arnold, chairman of
ATA's User Charges Committee,
added:
"The air transport industry is
on record as being willing to
make fair payments for the use
of Federal facilities at such time
as the general plan is estab-
lished for charging all forms of
transportation for use Of such
facilities"
Mr.. Arnold made his state
ments in a letter to Civil Aero
nautics Administrator F. B. Lee.
1t commented on a CAA draft
study of a program of charges
for use of the Federal airways.
Mr.. Arnold said the Commerce
Department should establish q
general plan for applying user
charges to all forms of trans
portation that use federally pro-
vided facilities. He added that
the military should carry its
share Of the support Of the Fed
eral airways system.

Children S Hospital
Deficits Laid in Part
To Loss on Indigents

The efforts of Children'S hos
pital to make ends meet could
largely be eliminated, if the Dis
trict increased its payemntS for
certified INDECENT patients.
This was reported to the Mem
berS of Children's Hospital yes
terday, at their annual meeting,
by Judge j. Edgar Murdock. pres
ident of the board of directors of
the hospital.
Pointing out that the hospitals
operating income has not kept
pace with operating expenses,
Judge Murdock said:
"The failure of the District to
pay us our costs on INDECENT pa
tientS leaves us with a very large
loss which we must pay some
way. We are trying to persuade
the Commissioners to pay us a
fair amount for these services,
but so far on the payments for
clinic visits we have received
only promises of help in the
next budget"
Large Loss in Summer.
Judge Murdock said the oper-
ating income for summer months
has come to depend, to a sub
tantial degree, upon the incidence
of polio in small children in the
community.
"The number of cases this year
was unusually small" he said.
land while the community bene-
fitted immeasurably from that
fortunate circumstance, the hos
pital received little revenue from
polio cases and shows large oper-
ating losses for the summer
months"
DR.. Edgar P. Copeland, chair
man of the hospitals medical
staff, reported the original hos
pital building facing on w
street is about to be torn down
to make room for the Joseph w.
Wall Memorial. The late DR..
Wall, for years, was chief of
staff Of the hospital. DR.. Cope
land also announced the re-
modelled outpatient department,
made possible largely through
the efforts of the Variety Club,
will be known as the Carter
Barron Memorial DiSpensary.
Miss Edith A. Torkington, ad-
ministrator of the hospital, spoke
of the contribution of volunteer
workers. She said an average of
80 volunteers per month gave
16,939 hours of service during
the last IL months - equal to
2,118 eight-hour days.
Members Elected.

minister to the U.S., "source of
deep rancor," not only to the
Arabs, but also to their American
supporters - Dorothy Thompson,
Lowell Thomas and others.
Their latest and most malignant
propaganda relates to the hundreds
of thousands of displaced Arabs
who fled from Israel when the land
was invaded in 1948.
Henry Luce, editor-in-chief of
Life, Time and Fortune, speaking
at the conference, especially urged
our government to "show mercy to
the refugees. Now it is quite in
conceivable that Mr.. Luce has not
heard the Arab refugee story and
does not know that these unfortun-
ate displaced people are being used
as a political tool in the most bru-
tai and cynical way imaginable.
He should in any case be referred
to certain documents which unfor-
tunately have not received the wide
publicity they deserve, documents
which prove that the Israelis did
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1953-02-20

not want the Arabs to flee Israel
and that the Arab leadership was
entirely responsible for the exist
ence of the refugee problem.
A secret message sent by the
British police in Haifa to their
headquarters in April, 1948, stated:
every effort is being made by
the Jews to persuade the Arab pop
ulace to stay and carry on their
normal lives, to get their shops and
businesses open and to be assured
that their lives and interests will
be safe"
But Various factors influ-
enced their decision to seek safety
in flight. There is but little doubt
that by far the most potent of
these factors were the announce
ments made over the air by the
Arab Higher Executive urging all
Arabs in Haifa to quit. 1t was
learly itimated that those Arabs
who remained and accepted Israeli
protection would be regarded as
renegades."
THIS DOCUMENT and many
others are to be found in "The
Arab Refugee Problem" by Joseph
B. Schechtman, scholar and author
ity on problems of demography. He
prints the following memorandum
of the Arab National Committee
of Haifa regarding the flight of
their people:
"The removal of the Arab inhabi-
tants from the town was voluntary
and was carried out at our request
The Jews intended to stop the
evacuation in order to prove that
the Haifa Arabs could live safely
and securely under the Jewish
rule. The Arab delegation
proudly asked for the evacuation
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1953-02-20

of the Arabs and their removal to
the neighboring Arab countries. We
are very glad to state that the
Arabs guarded their honor and
traditions with pride and great
ness"
According to the Beirut Arabic
Daily Telegraph of Sept. A, 1948,
referred to by DR.. Schechtman,
Emil el-Ghouri, Secretary of the
Arab Higher Committee, declared:
"The fact that there are these
refugees is the direct consequence
of the Arab States opposing parti-
ton and the Jewish State. The
Arab States agreed upon this pol
icy unanimously and they must
share in the solution of this prob
lem."
But history has shown how the
Arab States have helped to solve
this problem! Every effort which
has been made by the United Ma
tions to integrate the refugees into
the economy and the life of the
countries they are now living in
has been impeded by the Arab gov
ernments. They insist that Israel
must allow the refugees to return
although their homes are now oc-
cupied by Jewish immigrants
(many of them having escaped
from Moslem lands), and the con.
ditions of life they once knew nc
longer exist. Nor would Israel dare
to create for itself potential Arat
fifth column while the Arab states
still threaten war.
