Palestine Held Able to Take 100,000 Jews

Mrs. Roosevelt Guest of Churchills at Lunch

Commission Is Told They'll ImproveNation

Washington, Jan. 7 UP)—Wit­nesses told an Anglo-American Commission today that Palestine easily could absorb 100,000 more Jews in six months and that half the Jews in Europe urgently want to settle there.

Robert Nathan, former govern­ment economist, testified that not only could 100,000 be acommodated in six months but that the Pales­tine economy could absorb 615,000 to 1,125,000 in the next decade and Improve living standards.

British committeemen, question­ing Nathan, drew an acknowledge­ment that Arab-Jewish relations are bad and might become worse with an additional influx of Jews. Nathan and an associate, Oscar Gass, also acknowledged tha t the Arab position was unlikely to change without a sharp reform in Arab living conditions which a British committeeman said would amount to a "social revolution."

Nathan explained an economic study of Palestine which he made for the American-Palestine Insti­tu te of New York. He held that the increase in Palestine's Jewish population in the last 25 years had benefitted the Arabs.

Dr. Joseph J. Schwartz of New York, European director of the American Jewish Joint Distribu­tion Committee, testified that 800.-000 of the 1,200,000 Jews left in Europe outside Russia had no chance for a decent life unless they heave home, and Palestine is almost their only hope.

He said tha t the figure of 600,-000 wanting to go to Palestine would be reduced if other countries opened their doors but that this did not appear in prospect. Isador Herschfield, representing the He­brew Immigrant Aid Society; urged, however, that "civilized countries of the world make pro­vision to absorb a proportionate number" of displaced Jews.

Dewey to Turn Down O'Dwyer Tax Proposal

Albany, Jan. 7 UP)—Gov. Dewey's administration will reject New York City's request for the state stock transfer tax yield and half the revenue from metropolitan race tracks, but will give "favor­able consideration" to any addi­tional local taxing power any mu­nicipality can convince the Legis­lature is needed.

The administration atti tude was learned today after announcement that William O'Dwyer, New York City's new Democratic mayor, had appealed to Albany for additional sources of revenue to enable the city to meet an expected increase of a t least $65,000,000 in running expenses for the year beginning July 1st. Racing Revenues

In a letter to State Comptroller Frank C, Moore, in his capacity as chairman of the State Commis­sion on Municipal Revenues and Reduction of Real Esta te Taxes, O'Dwyer asked tha t New York City be given:

1—All the stock transfer taxes collected in New York City.

2—Half of all s tate racing reve­nues cc.lected in New York City, plus a graduated city tax on turn­over based on the total collected a t the tracks.

3—Additional s ta te contributions toward local education, social serv­ices and public health.

4—Authority to double the 1 per cent sales tax for three-year period with the extra yield ear­marked for subway and surface line rehabilitation. I Emergency Taxes

5—Continuance of the present emergency taxes, including sales, business and service levies, for at least three years.

The mayor estimated the stock transfer revenue at $20,00,000 and the race track yield a t the same figure.

Briton Reports Devastating Red A-Bomb

Londonderry, Jan. 7 UP* — Dr. Raphael E. G. Armattoe, director of the Lomeshie Research Center for Anthropology and Human Bi­ology, said tonight in an interview

>that Russia had developed an atom bomb "which renders the Anglo-American atom bomb obsolete."

"He asserted that tne purported Russian bomb could be manufac­tured on a "mass production scale." Dr. Armattoe declined to disclose the source of his informa­tion but, pressed for a hint of his source, replied some members of Lomeshie Center's staff were affil­iated with Russian scientific so­cieties. Size of Tennis Ball

Armattoe said Russian scien­tists had tested, what he termed "the Russian atom bomb" which he said was about as large as a tennis ball and had a horizontal pulveri­zation range of 53 miles and a vertical lift of more than 6.2 miles.

"The temperature generated," he said, "was in the neighborhood of several million degrees centi­grade."

Armattoe said the Soviet Coun­cil on Defense had ordered a group of Russian scientists to concen­t ra te on atomic research immed­iately after the Anglo-American atom bomb was first disclosed to the world.

The scientist said the bomb was developed with the help of two German physicists, whom the Rus­sians had captured.

Armattoe did not say where the Russian bomb had been tested but he added a second test will be made a t the end of this month, "in a mountainous country."

"The destructive character of the Anglo-American bomb depends upon a determined size of uran­ium." Armattoe explained, adding:

"The Russian bomb, however, de­velops its force by a spin or angu­lar motion, making it more ap­plicable for engineering work."

Byrnes Says A-Bomb Well Safeguarded

Gun Wound Kills Air Base Officer

Amarillo, Tex., Jan. 7 UP)—Col. Carl W. Connell. 55. commanding officer of Amarillo Army air field, was found dead in his apar tment here early today of a gunshot wound in the head. A coroner's verdict was not returned imme­diately.

Fueral arrangements awaited word from relatives in Birming­ham, Ala., where Connell was bora. Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Wilda Connell.

Connell enlisted in the Signal Corps Reserve for flight training in 1917. He was sent to Australia as chief of supply and maintenance for the Fifth Air Force after the Pearl Harbor raid. The following year he was made commandp'- nf the Fifth Air Force Service Com­mand in New Guinea.

In May, 1944, he assumed com­mand of the Amarillo Army air field.

revised so as to include what he regarded as adequate protection for this country's position.

He was said to be especially con­cerned over the order in which the commission's several duties are listed — with safeguards and in­spections last.

In his statement, Byrnes said the resolution on atomic energy control undoubtedly would be re­ferred to a UNO Assembly commit­tee.

On that group, he said, American representatives would have "ample opportunity to make certain t ha t there is no misunderstanding as to the purpose, scope and operation of the commission."

Byrnes added tha t he did not see how the language used in the commission plan "can possibly be construed to give the commis­sion authori ty to obtain informa­tion which Is not publicly avail­able or which is not voluntarily given to It."

"Under the United Nations Char­ter, neither the Assembly nor any commission created by it has au­thority to compel action on the par t of any state ," he declared.

"The language of the resolution (to establish the atomic commis­sion) makes clear tha t even as to the exchange of basic scientific in­formation for peaceful purposes, the commission has authori ty only to make recommendations."

Although the U. S. Assembly del­egation might vote to permit a commission study of International problems raised by discovery of atomic energy, t ha t action would not give the commission authority to decide "what information the United States or any other gov­ernment should place a t its dis­posal," Byrnes said. U. S. Has Veto Power

He said tha t if the commission recommended exchange of atomic energy information, the recom­mendation would have to be ap­proved by the UNO Security Coun­cil on which the U. S., Britain, Russia, France and China all have veto power.

"Therefore, unless the United States concurs in the recommenda­tion, i t could not be adopted," Byrnes added.

"If the United States concurred and the Security Council adopted the recommendation, it would still be for the government of the United States by t reaty or by con­gressional action to determine to what extent that recommendation should be acted upon.

"If action is required by treaty, it would take a two-thirds vote of the Senate to ratify the t reaty .

"Under all these circumstances, I think the interests of the United States are fully protected."

Hyde Park Site For UNO Opposed

Poughkeepsie. Jan. 7 UP)—The late President Roosevelt's neigh­bors ran into a note of discord today in their efforts to make Hyde Park ' s rolling acres the per­manent home of the United Na­tions Organization,

With UNO's site committee al­ready in the United States for inspection tours, State Sen. Fred­eric Bontecou said he had talked to "a great number" of Dutchess County citizens and "all of them are opposed to having it (UNO) in the county."

Bontecou, Dutchess County Re­publican chairman, demanded in a statement tha t the Cqunty Board of Supervisors order a referen­dum to give Dutchess citizens an opportunity to decide for them­selves.

There was no immediate com­ment from the board.

Goering Curses Nazi General For Testimony

Nuernberg, Jan. 7 UP)—Hermann Goering growled curses today a t a prosecution witness who told the international mili tary tribunal t ha t th* German purpose in a t ­tacking the Soviet Union was to exterminate 30,000.000 Slavs.

"Dirty dog! Damned trai tor!" Goering snarled as the Waffen SS general, Erich von Dem Bach- Zel-ewski, stepped from the stand.

Goering and others of the 21 high Nazi defendants facing the court were visibly perturbed by the testimony of the 46-year-old former ardent Nazi who was said by Allied authorities to have wit­nessed personally or participated in mors atrocitiea than any other German witness yet summoned, Goering to Be Rebuked

Jail officials said they would "call Goering on the carpet" to be rebuked for his behavior in court, regardless of whether the tribunal chose to take notice of this first incident of i ts kind during the trial.

A German-speaking court at­tendant said the former reichs-marshal turned to his fellow de­fendants and growled: "Why tha t

has more blood on his hands than all the rest of us put to­gether and I will testify to tha t under oath!"

Bach-Zelewski walked stiffly from the witness stand within a few feet of Goering, scarcely notic­ing him, after delivering damaging testimony which appeared to in­criminate the entire German high command for Eastern Front atroc­ities. Testifies Calmly

Bach-Zelewski, onetime Reichs­tag deputy, and Heinrich Himm-ler's designated chief of all coun­ter-partisan activities in the So­viet Union, testified with consum­mate calmness. He admitted frankly tha t he was in charge of the brutal campaign, and said that tho German high command could not help but be aware of the methods employed.

The SS leader said Himmler had set a figure of 30.000,000 Slavs to be eliminated. There were no written orders on how to bring about such an end, he said, but the methods used were "certainly known,** because full reports were made on every operation.

The American prosecution, pur­suing its claim tha t the high com­mand was aware of and responsible for atrocities, introduced in evi­dence field orders of Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, chief of the Ger­man high command, and the late Field Marshal Walter von Reich-enau, both issued in 1941.

Reichsnau's order bade his troops to have a "full understanding of severe but just revenge on sub­human Jewry.

Keitel's order, dated January, 1941, called for a campaign of wholesale slaughter In Russia. I t told commanders tha t "with regard to offenses committed against en­emy civilians by members of the Wehrmacht, prosecution is not ob­ligatory, even where the deed is a military crime or offense."

of the 48 s ta tes who have been putt ing final plans in shape for their annual March of Dimes cam­paign, to open January 14th.

The Firs t Lady's greeting to women leaders of the foundation was arranged to follow shortly after her par t in a nationwide broadcast. Her radio role con­sisted of a brief introduction for Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., son of the late President.

Also on the program were Miss Cornelia Otis Skinner, actress and member of the greater New York Chapter of the foundation, and E l i z a b e t h Taylor, 13-year-old screen star.

The late President 's son said the Roosevelt family had been identi­fied with the fight against polio since Franklin Roosevelt, Sr., founder of the national organiza­tion, was stricken with the disease in 1921.

"My father always felt tha t the experiences of one person and one family should be used for the bene­fit of other people and other families," Roosevelt, Jr., said. "That is why the national founda­tion came into being.

"I know he would want the fight against infantile paralysis move­ment to go on—and on—until i t conquers the disease."

Staff Unanimous In Backing Morgan

Frankfurt , Jan. 7 (INS)—The entire staff of Lieut. Gen. Sir Fred­erick Morgan, UNRRA chief in Germany, today dispatched a mes­sage to Washington reiterating confidence in their superior.

Announcement or unanimous support of the general by his staff came after a reliable informant de­clared '.hat Morgan was standing pa t on his refusal to resign and is not making plans to leave for London.

This source said tha t Morgan had received a message ordering his return to London last night. Morgan was said to have replied to Sir Humphrey Gale a t London UNRRA headquarters tha t he was

not resigning or making plans ta go to London.

The general's recall was asked after he said a t a news confers ence tha t a secret organization was directing the exodus of Jews from Poland.

Beaverbrook's Paper Pays Tribute to Canada's Aid

London, Jan. 7 (Reuters)—The Britain got meat, dairy and sea London Evening Standard, prop­erty of Lord Beaverbrook, advo­cate of preferential tariffs within the British Empire, today editor­ially paid tribute to Canada's war­time support of the mother coun­try in food and hard cash.

The paper declared tha t Can­ada's assistance deserved wider recognition "in the face of the threat which the Bretton Woods agreement holds against empire economic unity." Canada had been and still was feeding Britain a t a discount, exporting last year alone 741,300,000 C a na d i a n dollars' worth of agricultural produce, mainly wheat and flour. The wheat price was $1.55 a bushel, while buyers outside the empire paid $1.80. In the same year

produce worth $277,100,000 a t prices which, for certain produce, were lower than those obtainable in the United States.

Furthermore. Canada had made currency gifts of $1,800,000,000 and consolidated into an interest-free loan for the duration of the war sterling balances totaling $700,-000.000.

After asserting that the other dominions were as anxious as Canada to secure the British mar­ket for peacetime surpluses, the paper concluded: "Rarely can mutual need and opportunity have been so suited and so capable of satisfying each other. Here and now, to the untold welfare and prosperity of all its peoples, the empire is ready for a vast expan­sion in its common trade."
