Philadelphia Survey
Shows Discrimination
In Medical Schools
PHILADEIJPHIA. (JTA) — A
"definite pattern of discriminatory
quotas" has been revealed as a
result of a year-long survey of the
four medical schools in'Philadel-
phia by the Jewish Community
Relations Council. The survey
covered all colleces and profession
al schools, but only the medical
schools were found to be practic
ing widespread discrimination.
Tlie survey was conducted with
the assistance of several hundred
volunteer workers and using a new
pattern called the “Classmate
Identification Method.” under
which a member of each class * jj
asked to identify the race, religion
and national background of all
other members of the class, and
the information was checked by
another member of the group.
Tills tended to rectify errors re
sulting from Jewish students hav
ing non-Jewish names, or no-
Jews having Jewish - sounding
names The survey also'disclosed
t discrimination against Italian-
Ameiicab and Negro students, par
ticularly the latter. The survey
was released by Abraham L. Freed
man. president of the-Jewish Com
munity Relations Council. N

Ben Gurion Soys Jews Need Neither British
Nor Foreiqn Aid in Event of Arab Uprising
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — ‘ We do
not need British or any other for
eign protection in the event of
troubles with the Arabs,” David
Ben Gurion. chairman of the ex
ecutive of tiie Jewish Agency, said
in an interview here.
"We Jews are perfectly capable
of taking care of ourselves,” he
added*. “Moreover, we are not
certain that the British would
give us assistance anyway—they
might actually hamper us. We cer
tainly don't want the British to
stay in Palestine on our account."
Mrs. Goldie Meirson, head of the
Political Department of the Jewish
Agency at Jerusalem, later put it
this way: "We do not want the
British soldier to protect the Jews.”
Mr .Ben Gurion declined to ex-
press any opinion on the merits or
the demerits of the British retain
ing their bases in Palestine for
strategic reasons. But most of the
Jews and Arabs in the country are
in agreement on two points: that
they want the British retaining
their bases in Palestine for stra
tegic reasons.- But most of the
Jews and Arabs in the country arc
in agreement on two points; that
they want the British to go; and
that they are skeptical of the ex
pressed British intentions to dear
out altogether.

Planning Arab Protest Day Defense
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Jewish
security officers met here to dis
cuss defense measures, as Palestine
Arabs began preparing for demon
strations on Friday to protest any
action by the U.N. which would
result in establishment of a Jew
ish state. Similar demonstrations
will be held on Friday in all mem
ber states of the Arab League.
It is learned that Fauzi bey
Kaukji, Syrian terrorist chief, who
was one of the Itaders of the pre
war Arab disturbances, has estab
lished headquarters on the Pales-
tine-Syrian border and has sum
moned a meeting of his followers
for next Wednesday. Meanwhile,
Palestine police are still hunting
for the Arabs suspected of having
bombed the Swedish consulate
during the week-end in retaliation
for the report of UNSCOP, which
was headed by Judge Emil Sand-
stroem of Sweden.
Jewish Agency circles here are
not pessimistic concerning the U.
S. attitude on the establishment
of a Jewish state. They are now
beginning to blueprint plans for j
the necessary operations that will
follow the British withdrawal, al- j
though they are sceptical con
cerning Britain's intent to get out. I
A plenary session of the Jew'ish
National Council will be convoked
this week to discuss the situation
in the country. An authoritative j
statement will be made to the ef- |
feet that in the event the British |
actually evacuate Palestine, the
Jews will be ready to fill the va
cuum and guarantee organized ad
ministration as well as implemen- j
tation of the UNSCOP partition
re°- ' ‘>ons.
