'Irishman' Heads
B'nai B'rith Lodge
In Chicago
CHICAGO. III.—Jack Mann at
tributes ills election as president
of B’nai B'rith North Shore Lodge
here (June 11) to the “luck of th^
Irish, no less.”
Mann, who was born in Dublin,
Ireland, and .emigrated to the
United States in 1*21. was elect
ed to head the North Shore Lodge
after serving on every major com
mittee. During his administration
as membership chairman, the
lodge hit an all-time record in se
curing new members.
His close B'nai B’ri'.h associates
claim that Mann really gives out
with the “blarney” when it comes
to membersliip campaigns. But
Mann says that his Irish brogue
undergoes the acid test when he
is approached by a policeman for
a traffic violation.
The B'nai B’rith leader was for
merly a member of the St. Kev
ins Parado Orthodox Synagogue
in Dublin. He recognized the Brit
ish Empire during World War I
and saw four-and-half years ser
vice as a volunteer in the British
Army. He was with the 69th Brit
ish Division in the Near East and
received a citation for gallantry
in action at Schcria, Palestine.
He was one of the first Jewish
soldiers to enter Palestine during
the campaign.
Mann now couples his activity
In the B'nai B’rith with the Ameri-
can-Irish-Jew Club of which he
is a past president.
North Shore Lodge is curious
to learn if its new president is the
first Jew of Irish extraction to
become the leader of a B'nai B'rith
unit. Research experts at B'nai
B'rith National Headquarters.
Washington, D. C., are now check
ing this request.

Seek Wider
Sponsorship of
Cultural Series

of the Jewish Cultural Series lias
been set for 8:15 p. m. Monday,
June 30, at the Progressive Club.
Barney Medintz has invited
Jewish organizations of the city
to send representatives to plan new
programs. Sponsors believe the se
ries should represent more than
three organizations. With a wider
sponsorship and promotion, the
programs could be financially self-
sustaining, they feel.
The cultural series was consid
ered last Sunday at. an inter-city
meeting at the Progressive Club
with Chattanooga, Jacksonville,
Knoxville and Atlanta represented.
Guest was Samuel Freeman, direc
tor of the Jewish Center Lecture
Bureau, operated by the National

Dropped in at the Abernathy’s

t was Sant, out in the kitchen with an
apron on, helping his missus wash
the* supper dishes. (And then I
learned later he’d helped cook the
supper, too.)
£ Of course, Sam could have set
tled into his favorite chair, en-
yjoyed his evening glass of beer,
and left all the messy kitchenwork
.to Dixie. But he kind of likes her
company — and she in turn cer
tainly appreciates his help.
C, In fact, sharing the housework
and the mealtime chores is sort of
a bond between them ... like shar
ing that friendly glass of beer to
gether, when the work is done. It’s
one of those little atl-important
things in marriage.
From where I sit, the time that
a man and wife can spend with
each other in this busy world today
is all too precious. And the more
things they can do together, the
better.

Special JTA Correspondent
JERUSALEM (JTA).—The Unit
ed Nations inquiry committee this
week established informal and un
official contact with representa
tives of the two Jewish under
ground groups, the Irgun Zvai
Leumi and the Stern Group.
The contact with the Jewish ex
tremists was established while the
committee was touring the Old
City of Jerusalem. Two Jews, one
speaking for the Irgun and the
other representing the Sternists—
both American citizens—met the
U. N. delegates and chatted with
them informally for some time. I
The majority of the committee
knew beforehand that they would j
be met by spokesmen of the dissi- ■
dent Jewish groups.
Contact with the Arab Higher j
Committee was also established, |
through the secretariat of the I
fact-finding body, with a view to j
exploring the possibilities of the j
Arabs calling off their boycott of
the probers. Nothing Is known as
yet as to the conditions advanced
by the Higher Committee as its
price for halting the boycott.
(The American Zionist Emer
gency Council issued a statement
charging that the boycott is “part
of a carefully pre-arranged and
premeditated tactical game, de
signed to maneuver the United
Nations into regarding the Arab
Higher Committee as a ‘wronged'
group, and thus create an advan
tageous position for the Arabs in
the meeting of the General As
sembly which is to take place in
Ceptember." The Council asserted
that there is no divergence of tac
tics between the Higher Commit-
. and the Arab League, which is
not participating in tlie boycott.
‘Tlie Arab League's attitude should
not be regarded as a sign of con
flict between the two Arab bodies,
but rather as tlie result of a joint
understanding as to the strategy to
be employed before the United
Nations.” tlie Council said.) /
The committee later held a
closed meeting during whicli it dis
cussed memoranda submitted by
tlie Irgun and the Stern Group.
However, there was no indication
as to the effect of the extremist
pleas upon the members.
The extremists memoranda de
clared tlie refusal to accede to the
U. N. request for a truce unless the
Palestine Government ceases de
porting visaless immigrants, stops
street searches and military ac
tivities and abolishes military
courts. Tlie Irgun asked the prob
ers to intervene with the govern
ment to halt such activities. The
Sternists asserted that “if the oc
cupying authorities evade a re
sponse to the appeal of the U. N.
and continue to practice cruel
methods of repression, we will be
compelled to react to such acts of
provocation."
It wav also learned that tlie
members of the inquiry committee
discussed a memorandum submit
ted by the parents of three doomed
Irgunists, asking the committee to
intervene with the British authori
ties to secure commutation of the
death sentences. Some of the dele
gates are reported to have urged
Judge Emil Sandstroem, the com
mittee chairman, to contact High
Commissioner Sir Alan Cunning
ham and urge clemency.

that any decision can be rendered
which will be supported by both
Jews and Arabs, what does this
mean?
These are questions—perhaps
cynical ones—but they must be
posed. One can only hope that in
this tremendous problem, the
United States inquiry committee
v, ill surmount all obstacles, polit
ical, and sociological, and make
recommendations upon which the
United Nations itself can build a
solution consonant with justice
and tlie well being of all peoples.
