NATIONAL JUNIOR RED CROSS LEADER PRINCIPAL SPEAKER AT COMMITTEE MEETING Tel Aviv (WNS—Palcor Agency) —Yehuda Zvi Yevserov, one of the founders of the world Zionist movement, is dead here at the age of 83. He gained fame throughout Europe as a synagogue preacher who broifght to Jews of Russia the message of Zion rebuilt.

Their effect has been nil except to leave a great deal of annoyance among young and ardent Jews, who en deavor to trace the perpetrators of such nuisances. According to well- informed local quarters, the origin of these throwaways is in a central Nazi propaganda agent for Pales tine who it is believed, works through Arab Fascists. An attempt at Fascism was started some eigh teen months ago as ‘‘the only hope of Arab salvation in the present state of the Arab nationalist cause,” as one young leader said. The ob ject was to introduce an ultra-na tionalistic spirit among the Arab youth. But it was more closely modelled on the National-Socialist brand of Fascism than the Italian, because the German politics em bodied anti-Semitism as the cen tral motive. The majority of the pseudo-Fas- cists of Palestine is thought to be drawn from Christian Arab youth and their "boss” Is Issa A1 Bandak, editor of a Bethlehem newspaper, who is credited some two years ago with an article seeking a transfer of the British Mandate for Pales tine to Germany because, as he said, this country has shown its alertness to the ‘‘Jewish menace” and could be relied upon to effect similar "justice against the Jews” in the Holy Land! But he forgot to add that according to the Nazi racial theory, Arabs are just as non-Aryan and Semitic as the Jews. Although Arab Fascists have not been heard of as a political force since the original efforts to launch a party, local observers think that a few of their number are working secretly at anti-Jewish propaganda of a virulent kind, such as is manifested in the swastika- signed exhortations.
