"paid back" our democracy for its generous gesture by de¬ manding that Jews in Hungary be withdrawn from positions in the police and peoples' court... Mindszenthy disgraces the office of Cardinal and the American military commander who gave him a free ride should blush..
But does he?	
rNUSUAL DIPLOMAT... feJan GaleWicz, the new Polish Consul in New Yorlc is perhaps America's most Interesting member in the Consular Corps. S. L.

His father died before his very eyes during the uprising in the War¬ saw Ghetto.;His exploits as a guerilla fighter in Poland read .like a Hollywood thriller. He stood on the ramparts of War¬ saw.. He was a prisoner In Tre- bllnka camp. .Handsome and dy¬ namic he Is. an untiring workter, ¦"^Thei'e is' oiiiy. oneTBlng he can ho longer do. .And that is to smile— QPBSTION....

WASHINGTON,  D. C,  (JPS) —The   Anglo-American   Inquiry Committee on Palestine has rec¬ ommended In Its report to the United States and British Gov¬ ernments that 100,000 Jews be allowed to emigrate to Palestine "as   rapidly  as   conditions  per¬ mit." It recommends that Pales¬ tine be neither an Arab nor a Jewish State but "should contin- • ue as at present under the mail- date pending establishment of a trusteeship  by  the  United  Na¬ tions."   It   demands   that   the Jewish Agency ''at once resume active cooperation with the man¬ datory power in suppression ot terrorist   activities   and   Illegal immigration. It declares that If its report is adopted,  the man¬ datory power should make clear that   "any   attempt   by   either Jews or Arabs by threat of,vi¬ olence, terror or organization ol illegal  armies,   to  prevent  exe¬ cution of the recommendations . .will  be  resolutely  suppressed." \The  report,  divided Into  ten resommendatlons and comments covtolng   sixty-seven   single- spacVi    mimeographed    pages, was    released   slmuUfineously here and in London, the after¬ noon of April 30; a WeeltJshQrt-i otthe four-hioiith. Bertodinottfea"," to the Committee for Investiga; tlon and deliberation.
The ten recommendations read in part as follows:
1. Palestine alone cannot meet the emigration needs of the Jews. We recommend that the British and United States Governments endeavor to' find homes for ail victims of perse¬ cution. Though emigration will solve the problem of some, the overwhelming majority ot all victims of persecution, including a considerable number of Jews, will remain in Europe.
2. We recommend that 100, 000 Immigration certificates for Jewish victims of persecution be awarded as tar as possible in 1946. Actual immigration should be pushed forward as rapidly as conditions permit.
3. To dispose at once of all ex- elusive claims of Jews and Arabs, we recommend that a clear statement be made of the following, principles:
a. Jews shall not dominate Arabs nor shall Arabs dom¬ inate  Jews.
b. Palestine shall be neither a Jewish State nor an Arab
-.     State.
c. The form of Government which is ultimately estab¬ lished under internationai guarantee shall protect the interests ot Chrlstiandom and the Jewish and Moslem faiths.
Thus Palestine must become a State guarding the institutions ot Jews, Moslems and Christians alike, and accord to its inhabi¬ tants the fullest measures of jself-government in concert with the above principles.
4. We recommend that the mandatory or trustee proclaim the principle, that Arab econom¬ ic, educational and political ad¬ vancement in Palestine Is of eciual importance with that of the Jews, and should at iince propose measures to bridge the gap which now exslsts, to raise the Arab standard of living (to a level with the Jewish) and bring the two peoples into full appreciation ot their common (Continued oi> Page four)
