Addressing 500 persons at the ground breaking of a new Jew¬ ish Center, Mr. ^ Dwyer said:

Agency Leaders Meet At Paris
LONDON (WNS)—Three Jew¬ ish Agency executive members' flew to Paris to attend a special meeting summoned by the or¬ ganization's top committee after, what an informed source des¬ cribed here, "informal contact" over the week end between. British and Jewish leaders.
Although there was no official statement hy the Agency or any of its spokesmen here, it is bellevied that the Paris discus¬ sions may lead to the Agency's participation in the Palestine conference. However, one Agen¬ cy informant here said that if the Agenc;y agrees to attend the conference it will be only "on the basi-s of our original demand —which -envisaged the estab¬ lishment of 'viable Jewish state within an adequate area'."
The Agency executives who flew to Pa.ris were Prof. Selig Brodetsky, Dr. Nahum Goldman and Berl Locker. Their depart¬ ure was said to have been pre¬ ceded by a private conference by .Agency executives with eitii- er Qolonial Secretary CJeorge Hail or Foreign Secretary Bev¬ in, or -with both.
Over the week end, the dele¬ gates of the Arab states were reported to have prepared coun¬ ter-proposals to the British "pro¬ vincial autonomy" pilan. It is be¬ lieved the Arab states' statement WUI relteratp the position taken last week by individual Arab deieg^ondf'^In'their indiiriaual, statements'the"Arabs refected' the idea of a Jewish national home in Palestine and demand- td recognition of Palestine's In¬ dependence as an Arab state ¦with equal rights for Jews, Sources close to the Foreign Office said that the Arabs may offer to guarantee the existence in Palestine ot a Jewish national home, but without territorial constitution and without added Jewish  immigration.
In t<ie meantime the Board ot Deputies ot British Jews has voted by a vast majority against participation in the conference if the Agency did not attend. Prof. Selig Brodetsky, president, said: "The Board of Deputies cannot participate in the con¬ ference If the establishment of a Jewish state is ruled out." The Agudas Israel is expected to de¬ cide the question ot partcipation within the next few days,

These topics comprise a top place in Mr. Rogge's background as he spent considerable time and achieved singular success in prosecuting the notorious 29 sedltionists. In April, 1946, Mr. Rogge headed a mission to Germany to Investigate Nazi links to fascist groups in Amer- ca.

Just recently the Jewish Na¬ tional Fund of America forward- ' ed to Palestine the sum; of $5,- 000,000, the largest single re- ^-"-w mittance Hn the history of American Zioni.sm. It was an expresstion'of faith in'the jus¬ tice and the ultimate triumph of the Zionist cause. The remit¬ tance was also an encourage¬ ment to the gaUant Jewish com¬ munity of Palestine which is today desperately fighting to save the remnants ot the Jew¬ ish people in Europe thru the opening ot the gates ot Holy Land to them.
