The Georgia Tribune of Co¬ lumbus, Ga., which has a circu¬ lation of 30,000 is carrying on an Intensive anti-Semitic campaign. It i.=i published and edited by Jaclc Johnston, who calls him¬ self Par.^on .Johnston even though he l.t no clergyman...

Loomis has been convicted, as .vou remember, bul l.s out on bail, having appealed the ver¬ dict.. .Although undei- bond, he ha.s not discontinued hi.s anti- fiemocratic, anti-Semitic propa¬ ganda.. ..lohn.ston's Tribune is attacl<ing tho Atlanta police de¬ partment for preventing ijiiomis from holding public meetings..

Senator Theodore G.

Mr. Nix has as its text: "I have fought the good fight; I have finished my course; I have kept my faith.".. .Now the Reverand IMr. Nix certainly went too .far...The American public will remember Bilbo In the same sense as the Norweg¬ ians remember Quisling.. .Bil¬ bo will stand In the annals ot .American history as a stubborn bigot whose death cannot white¬ wash his shameful democratltc (Continued on Page 8)

,IERU8ALEM, Sept. 1 (JTA) — Welcoming the report' of the United Nations Special Commit¬ tee on Palestine, although ex¬ pressing the hope that certain of its recommendations would be modified by the General A.s- .semhly, Mrs. Goldie Meirson. political .chief of the Jewish Agency in Jerusalem, today urged that the interim period preceding independence for the Jewish state he as short as pos¬ sible.
Mrs. .Meiisnn appealed lo both the Uniied .\'atii>ii.9-,iiiKl Ihe Arab states to eoojM'i'ate in .-^eruring a shorter transitimi period. Siie reiterated the desii-e cif tile .lews to maintain friendly relations Willi the Aral) D-itimis, ami a.sked tile I'alestine .'\rahs to i-ooper- ale now in initiating "goinl neigh¬ borly" relations so that wlien Ihe two st;iles"ar(' esuihlislieil. a friendly treal.v cai) l>e con- tiiKleii without  delay.
She paid high tribute to the efficiency tind "deep insight" t)f the Commiltei', ex|)res.^ing re- grei. that ils rep<irt had not l»een unanimous. Mrs. ,\Ieir.son .said thai she was jjnrtieuiarly sorry thai the Yugoslav ilelegiition hati supported the minority federa¬ tion plan, -whith, she claimed, would mean an .Arab state with a Jewish minority. She expresseil the hope that tbe Yugusiav Gov¬ ernment would .support the ma- Joriiy plan al the General As¬ sembly. Mrs. Meirson also voiced regret that UNSCOP bad slated that a solution of the Palestine problem would not mean solu¬ tion f)f the Jewish problem.
iljelrson  Says  Report Confirms That Pnl-lillon  Is Only Solution
The Agency political spokes¬ man commented that the recom- niendalons of thie Peel Commls¬ .sion ten years ago In favor Of parlillon and UMSCOP's report Indicated that there was no oth¬ er solution of the Palestine prob¬ lem. She voiced regret that the Commlllee had failed to include .lei'usaiem in the Jewish state, polntng out that the Peel Com¬ mission had envisaged interna¬ tional or Mrilish control of only ihe old city of Jerusalem. Mrs. Meirson termed a "sorrow¬ ful oinmission" the Inclusion in the Aral) stale of Western Gali¬ lee, since it has a \'ciy sm,'ill .'\ral> j)oi)ulalion and mak(\s little miinerical difference to eiliier the Arab or the .lewish state. A.ssigriing this area to the Aralis would rlcny the .lews a common Iftjoiier with Christian I.eban- wiih wiiom we have always maintained good neighborly re¬ lations and which seemingly has neighborly feelings toward.s the .lews." slie added.
However, Mrs. Meirson eon- rluded, it is hoped thai the Gen¬ era! A.s.sembly "will rectify these wrongs,"
The UNSCOP recommenda¬ tions were greeted with great satisfaction by the Yishuv, par¬ ticularly the decision to admit 150,000 Immigrants in the next two years. It is felt that imple¬ mentation of this recommenda-- tion would hamper extremist activitie.s. The Arab masses have been quiet, although theli' lead¬ ers have issued bitter statements attacking the  report.
