By RabbinicaI Assembly
BY the Associated Press

UNIONTOWN, Pa, May 90
The Rabbinical Assembly of
America yesterday condemned
the McCarran-Walter Immigra-
ton law, charged the United
States with supplying arms to
the Arabs and urged the Gov
ernment to ratify the United
Nations convention against
genocide.
The assembly describes itself
as conservative branch of the
Jewish religion.
More than 200 rabbis attend
ing the 54th annual convention
of the assembly unanimously
approved a resolution denounc-
ing the new immigration law.
It said:
"By perpetuating the national
origins quota system, by making
distinctions between natives and
naturalized citizens and by es-
tablishing unfair standards for
exclusion and deportation, our
present immigration policy
makes immoral distinctions
among men,"
The assembly also said the
United States is sending arms to
the Arabs and declared "such
arms will neither promote peace
nor win lasting gratitude"
The assembly unanimously
approved a resolution urging the
United States to ratify the
United Nations convention
against genocide. Genocide is
systematic determination of a
racial, political or cultural group.

Historian Says Churchill
Confused Sea Officers
By the Associated Press

LONDON, May 2O.-An official
British historian said in the first
volume of his sea history of
World War II yesterday that
Prime Minister Churchill fired
off too many messages to British
sea commanders and confused
them.
Capt. S. w. Roskill of the
Royal Navy wrote that Mr..
Churchill's messages increased
the Navy's difficulties, especially
during the hard-fought Nor
wegian campaign. One flag
officer protested he had been
given three different objectives.
Many of the signals sent dur
ing such periods bear the unmis-
taxable imprint of his language
and personality" Capt. Roskill
wrote. Admirable though their
purpose and intentions were, it
now appears plain that they
sometimes confused the conduct
OF operations and increased the
difficulties of the commander in
chief"
During the North Sea opera
tions when the British sought to
block Hitler's seizure of Norway
IN April, 1910. Mr.. Churchill was
First Lord of the Admiralty. A
month later he succeeded Neville
Chamberlain as Prime Minister
