NEW YORK (WNS) —Dr. John Slawson, executive vice- president of the American Jew¬ ish Committee, and Dr. Joel D. Wolfsohn, who will beail Euro¬ pean operations of the A.IC, sailed last week for Europe, where they will "Inaugurate the American .lewish Committee's program of aid In helping to normtili'/.e .lewlsh community life on the Continent, in N'orth Africa   and   the   Middle   East."
Dr. Wolf.sohn, through the newly set up A.10 Paris r)ffice. will advise European Jewish communities in matters pertain¬ ing If) ci\-il rights, cultural re- ciinsiriKiion and cotnbatting anti-Semitism.
Dr. Slawson and Dr. Wolfsohn were ticcnmpaniod by Dr. Sam¬ uel H. Klfiwcrnian, associate fli- rcctor of the A.IC Department of Scientific Research, who plans to attend the Internation- ai Conference of Christians and .lew.-^. The conference vvlU be held in Switzerland at the end of  July.
THE REAI, niFFERBNOE
Dr. Chalm WeizmSnn unques¬ tionably is the most realistic leader in Zionism today...It's an open secret that he is pre- paretl to accept an lncrea.se In the Immigration quota for Pal¬ estine even if It should mean '"to forego debate for some time regarding future statehood"... The r|uotes are from a recent letter from .Weizmann to Pro¬ fessor Chaim E. Chernnwitz... in other woi'fls, Weizmann is primarily concerned about .sav¬ ing the DP's stagnating In con¬ centration camps... THE JEU'I.Sir ASPECT. . . .
The Garsson nrothois and ex- Congressman May were found Ruilty —.Tnd rightly so — on cliarges of graft In their work 'or the government during the -war...The Gars.son case. how-, ever, was a minor matter In comparison with the war-prof¬ iteering scandals in Uie billion- dollar class...Now the Oarsson were Jews, and as such were resented,  because Jews are not   .^ i      ci-   x     i j
.supposed to hi-eak into the bl^icmple   OlSternOOa
munitions   game,.. .There   is   a
similarity between  the Gar.sson
c-aso and  the case against Ber¬ nard J. Marcus of the Rank of
the United  States some  fifteen
.years   ago... Marcus   was   .sen¬ tenced   to   jail   and   his   bank
closed,   although   the   receivers
were able to reimburse the de-
poslter.s  to  the  e.x:tent  of well
over  DO  per  cent  of  their  so- called losses.. .But there too a
tleflnite Jewish angle came into
play. ..Jews are  far  from  wel¬ come In the big banking game,,
It will always remain a mystery
why   a   Jewish   banker   and   a
Jewish   munitions   majcer  were
selected   as   the   targets   when
non-Jewish   culprits   had   much
more to answer for...Not that
we condone the actions of the
Garssons at all...They deserved
their   punishment.. .But   where
are   the   other   culprits?   What
about  Senator  Bilbo's  entangll-
ments in big war contract,deals,
to mention just one instance?..
President  Roosevelt, while still
Governor of .Mew York, admitted
to us in a'private interview that
thei'e   was   a   Jewish   aspect   in
the   Marcus   case...Well,   there
was a big Jewish angle in the
Garsson case,  and we still are
waiting for the bigger offenders
to be brought 10 the bar of jus¬ tice	
SHOWDOWN   REQUIRED... Some time ago the American
Jewish    Committee    asked   the
House   Un-American   Activities
Committee to Investigate the ac¬ tivities of George W. Armstrong
of    Natchez, . Miss.,    and    F\.
Iworlh,,    Texas... Armstrong    is
\i^ very rich oil opei^ator who has
'established the Armstrong Foun¬ dation, which is spreading pre¬ judice against Negroes and Jews.. .Armstrong is a great ad¬ mirer of Representative John E. Rankin, and apparently has no fear of any Investigation.,. But Jewish and non-Jewish pro- democratic organizations should back the American Jewish Com¬ mittee's request for a show- ' Continued on Page 8)

MRS. SANFORD TI.MEN IS NAMED   SR.   HADASSAH DONOR CHAIRMAN
Championship Softball Came At B'nai B'rith Picnic
Gurion, chairman of the .lewish .¦\gency ExeciHlve, have during the past week pUnced themselves on record at the United Nations Inquiry Committee hearings here as favoring the partition of Palestine Into Jewi.sh and Arab states.
On Monday. Mr. Ben Gurion. though re-affirming tho Zionist tlcmand that all of Palestine be¬ come a Jewish state, left Ihe door open for the eslahiisliment of a '¦viahie" .lewish s t ti t e through partitioning should the 1J..N. decide Ihat way. Such ;i .lewish state, he said, could he established immediately. lie favored, howe\'er, a temportiry L'.N. siiperviskm of ;i to -I years, during which time the .lewlsch Agency would bring in tl million .lews and underttikc l.'trge-scalc economic dexelop- ment.
Di". Welzmann, appearing a da.v later at the U.N^. hearing, went further and said tliat he ;id\'ocate(i partition as the only fetisible solution of ' the Pales¬ tine i)rohiem. lliough it entails a great sacrifice on the part of the Jews. Partition, Weizmann stated, ¦¦will give us the oppor¬ tunity of continuing and expand¬ ing our work In peace, and it will give the Arabs assurance that we are not going to en- roach upon their rights and their territory."
However, if the Jews are to accept partition, according to Welzmann, the area of the Jew¬ ish state must be so drawh a.'i to give it accessibility to the water and electrical power re¬ sources, .so that the country could be effectively developed fpr the absorption of large-scale immigration, and it must he giv¬ en an firea of yet undeveloped and   un.settled   land   as   would
arid  part  of Jeru.salem. SinulH   Favors   Partition,   Some I'.N.   Members  Por Fedrrahzullon
At the hearing Dr. Welzmann i^ead a letter from Field Mar¬ shall Jan Smuts. Premlec of South Africa anil one of the original authors of the Flalfour Declaration; which al.so favored the partltioniiig of Palestine into .letvish and Arab states. In his letter Premier Smuts (lecUired that he was long for an undivided Palestine, but tbat ¦¦;ifter all these failures and mi.-ised opportunities I .see no other wav out of the present inipjisse. Piilestine never was iinclividctl in the great past, and perhaps a fuir share of it for .lewry may once more be the mj- cleus of ;i national home and a Holy   Land.>
Some of the U.N. Ct>mmiltee memhers. by their questioning of witnesses indicated that they tire inclined towtirti the federal- izution of tlie country. Dr. Gra- ntidos. the Guatemalan member, asked Dr. Weizmann to claiify the disadvantages of "a federal 'state ruietl by a council of the United Nations," with each state ruled by a council for itself and giving the Jewish people all un- derpopulatetl areas. Dr. Weiz¬ mann replied that federalization did not have the advantages ot partition, which was final and definite.
