The buzz-buzz of activities ip the building echoes the pre-war enthus¬ iasm! and, joy of all of us being back in the fold. Once more our family is practically com¬ plete. God grant that we can keep it so. Back to work, back to play, back to school is the order of the day. Seems like everybody is in there pitching So far, the outstanding social event of the season was the Hadassah Membership Tea. You should have seen the way MINNA LEVINGTON react to the crowd on hand at that meeting: To think that the organ¬ ization she had helped start some years ago today could draw to standing room only! The effect was EXHILIRATING. The ladies beam¬ ed with sheer joy in just being together working towards a common cause. Hard to 'decide which part deserves the most credit. The Refreshment committee outdid ( them¬ selves in catering so beautiful an affair. The Program chairman did no less in putting on a tableau of beauty as well as of interest. Here it should be proper to publicly acclaim the splendid work of ANITA RASKIN and SISTER TLTJDOPSKY. From Athens comes the following jottings. MURRAY GORDON is seen around with JINX ENGEL.

Tuesday one o’clock “MUST.” Recently the program was highlighted by the appearance of the famous Radio Star “Professor Quiz.” Not only did he teU about his experiences of the past ten years in radio, but he also added to the zest of the program by performing some sleight of hands with playing cards. In this he was assisted by members of B’nai B’rith present, which, of course, detracted none from the informality of the presen¬ tation. On Nov. 10th MIRIAM LEVY, Hadassah president** will attend the National Conven¬ tion of Hadassah in Boston. Agudath . . .

Convention Rejects Partition ATLANTIC CITY, (JTA) - the - The 49th annual convention of Zionist Organization of America re¬ jected any proposals for the partition of Palestine, in a political resolution reiterating “the historic claims of the Jewish people to the whole of mandated Palestine.’” The resolution, which demanded establish¬ ment of a Jewish state, urged the Jewish agen¬ cy to submit any proposals made to it by the British Government to the World 1 Zionist Con gres for approval and expressed doubt of the wisdom of Jewish participation in the London Conference on Palestine. Dr. Abba Hillel Silver Re-elected to Presidency The action of the convention represented a clear-cut victory for Dr. Abba Hillel Silver, who was re-elected president of the ZOA for a second term. In an address to the body, Dr. Silver bitterly attacked the Jewish Agency ex¬ ecutive for informing the British Government that it was prepared to discuss the establish¬ ment of a “viable Jewish state” in part of Pal¬ estine. Dr. Silver criticized Dr. Goldman for allege¬ dly ignoring and flouting agreements reached with the American Zionists Emergency Coun¬ cil and charged that “We agreed unamimously, Dr. Goldmann concurring, that neither he nor we would propose a partition plan to the Cab¬ inet Committee or other American officials.” Dr. Silver also criticized Dr. Stephen S. Wise, although not mentioning him by name, for supporting the U. S. loan to Britain, which issue, he said, could have been utilized by the Zionist movement to apply pressure on the British to secure Jewish demands in connec¬ tion with Palestine. The ZOA president also sharply scored the Labor Government’s policy in Palestine and, while welcoming President Truman’s sin¬ cerity, expressed doubts that the American Government had “employed its full strength to get results on Palestine. U. P. A. Received $40,000,000 from U. J. A..for work in Palestine In a report to the convention, Rudolf G. Sonnenborn, of New York, acting national cha¬ irman of the United Palestine Appeal, said that $40,000,000 was received this year (by the UPA from the United Jewish Appeal. Of this amount half will go to the Jewish National Fund and half to the Palestine Foundation Fund. Despite the obstacles created by the British Government, more than 20,000 Jew¬ ish refugees entered Palestine during the eight months from Jan. 1 to Aug. 31,1946, he said. Also, more than 5,000 others reached the shores of the Jewish homeland but were deported by the British to Cyprus. Judge Morris Rothenberg, president of the Jewish National Fund, reporting for the J. N. F. said that 35 new settlements had been establish¬ ed, during the past year and more than 40,000 dunams of land redeemed “despite the vicious and restrictive land laws of the British.” To make possible this achievement, the J. N. F. remitted to Palestine the sum of $12,000,000 since September, 1945. Judge Rosenberg expr¬ essed particular gratification over the found¬ ing in one night by 1,000 Jewish Pioneers, in¬ cluding 300 girls, of 12 new agriculture settle¬ ments in the Negev. Byrnes Says State Dept. Backs Truman on Palestine WASHINGTON, (JTA) - - Secretary of State, Byrnes has assured Dr. Stephen S.Wise, American member of the Jewish Agency of Palestine, that no difference of opinion ex¬ ists between President Truman and the De¬ partment of State regarding United States policy toward Palestine. me jjeparwnenc oi state has made publi an exchange of correspondence between Byrne andl Rabbi Wise, in which Dr. Wise asked fc clarification of rumors that “the President statement (of Oct..4) is not to be considere as policy of the American Government an that, in fact, the State Department is nc giving full support to the policy which th President's statement would seem to reflect.
