Masada Will Sell Tickets in Advance
For 3-Day Showing of “The Last Chance”
The Atlanta Chapter of Masada
will sponsor “The Last Chance,”
a movie, at the Peachtree Arts
Theatre on Aug. 11, 12 and 13.
One of the most discussed pic
tures of the year, the film is
hailed as one of the most exciting
ever to reach the screen. It tells
the story of fear-crazed refugees
who attempt a perilous crossing
of the snow-rimmed Alps to seek
safety.
When the film was completed,
it was sent to this country for a
preview. So enthusiastic were M.
G. M. officials that arrangements
were immediately made to distri
bute the picture as one of the ma
jor releases of the year.
Winch ell, Alfred Hitchcock,
Sinclair Lewis and John B. Ken
nedy have all touted the film as
packing one of the greatest emo
tional wallops of any film ever
made. ,®
Tickets can be secured by con
tacting Manny Levin, WA. 7129
and MA. 1530 or by reaching any
member of Masada. Proceeds will
go to Masada’s Palestine project
and expansion fund if purchased
in advance—not at the ticket of
fice. The show will not be on
Saturday, as originally planned
and printed on the tickets.
Shaw Jewelry will present a
17-door Jewel watch as a door
prize.
Britian Offers $400,000 To U. N.
To Help Arab Refugees From Palestine
LAKE SUCCESS, (JTA)—The
British Government this week ad
vised the U. N. Security Council
that it is prepared to contribute
immediately $400,000 to a United
Nations fund for Arab refugees
who fled Palestine as a result of
the war. In announcing this offer,
British delegate Sir Alexander
Cadogan urged the Council to
adopt the following three-point
program:
1. The Council should impress
the Palestine mediator with the
urgency at the Arab refugee prob
lem.
2. The Council should ask the
International Red Cross to under
take a preliminary survey of the
condition of the Arabs.
3. The Council should—in the
event that the Red Cross reports
that the Ar^bs are in need of aid
—place at the disposal of the Red
Cross a special fund for alleviat
ing the refugees’ plight.
In his review of the Arab dis
placed persons, Cadogan linked
the plight of the Jewish DP’s in
Europe with that of the Palestin
ian Arabs. Describing the dis
placed Jews in Europe as the
“aggravating problem” in the
Palestine dispute, Cadogan sug
gested that they be repatriated
through established U. N. agencies
—presumably the International
Refugee Organization—and hinted
that if this repatriation plan is
not carried out soon, the British
may propose an alternative plan.
In his diagosis of the Arajb re
fugee problem, Cadogan estimat
ed the number to be between
250,000 and 550,000. He listed 56,-
000 in Transjordan, the same
number in Lebanon, about 70,000
in Syria and “a considerable
number of displaced Arabs in
Palestne."
The British delegate’s statement
precipitated severe criticism from
the hair, which is presided over
this month by the Soviet Union’s
Yacov Malik. Declaring that fce
called the session at the request
of the British, Malik said he was
"astonished” that Cadogan had
introduced this “novel" issue
without even complying with the
procedure which calls for distri
bution of documents three days
in advance of their publication.
Cadogan admitted his error and
apologized for the “misunder
standing.”
Following Cadogan's proposal,
Israeli representative Aubrey S.
Eban proposed that the entire re
fugee problem—that of the Arabs
and of the Jews, including the de
tention of thousands of Jewish
refugees in Cyprus detention
camps—be treated together. In
this proposal Eban was supported
by the representatives of the U. S.
S. R v and the Ukraine. Eventually,
the Israeli-sponsored plan was
adopted by the entire Council,
without a vote.
Inclusion of the Cyprus ques
tion was made with the consent
of Cadogan, following a challen
ger from Malik who asserted that
it was a logical corollary of the
British suggestion.
