Council for Judaism
Repeats That Jewry,
Israel Are Separate
The American Council for Juda
ism, Washington chapter, was on
record today as reiterating its stand
that citizens of the new state of
Israel and Jews who are citizens of
other nations should be clearly dis-,
tinguishable in the public mind. • j
Spokesmen for the Council, long
| at odds with the Zionist movement
! here over the Palestine solution,
have repeatedly stressed the fear
i that establishment of a Jewish
| homeland might jeopardize the po
sition of Jews who are citizens of
the United States or another coun
try.
The District chapter's Executive
Committee, after its first meeting
since recognition of the new Jewish
state by the United States, de
clared in a statement yesterday:
"We hope both the Zionist Move
ment and the (Israel) provisional
government will recognize the neces
sity of making clear the complete
and unequivocal national severance
of Jews who are citizens of other
nations from this new state.”
Is Foreign State.
| "We emphatically declare," the
j council added, "that Israel is a
foreign state to Americans of
Jewish faith and is not the state
I or homeland of the Jewish people.
. It cannot bestow rights upon them
| or exact obligations from them.”
It insisted no Jew or organiza
tion of Jews can speak for all the
Jews of America, and denied the
validity of any claim to the exist
ence or control of a ‘‘Jewish bloc'’
j vote, in this country.
“Our single and exclusive na
tional identity is to the United
j States.” the council declared.
To Seek I)P Immigration.
; "The future of 5,000.000 Ameri
cans of Jewish faith,” it went on,
'lies in a nation free from segrega
tion or divisiveness. The goal andi
privilege of every American of
Jewish faith is to become part of
American life * *
The council said it will continue
to seek increased immigration op
portunities in all countries for dis-'
placed persons of all faiths and
national derivations. It expressed
hope that America can bring peace
to Palestine, through the United
Nations.

VANCOUVER WASH.—FLOOD WATERS CROWD CATTLE—Dairy herds, isolated by rising

imnact of raging waters disgorging into the main river. The crest was due in the lower val
ley Sunday at the near-record level of the devastating 1894 flood. Note the cattle (center

Northwest Floods
Sy th* Associated Press
Thousands of persons fled their
homes in the Richland-Pasco-Ken
newick area of Eastern Washington
today as flood waters lapped over
dikes, flooded several trailer camps
and threatened numerous others.
Estimates of the number of evac
uated persons varied widely. Ben
ton County Sheriff Harry Cochrane
reported earlier that 20.000 persons
would be forced to move. Later re
ports by the sheriff's office, Kenne
wick city police and State Patrol
placed the figure closer to 5,000.
Cloudburst Increases Anxiety.
The exodus covered an 8-mile
strip from Pasco to the mouth of
the Yakima River. Both the Yakima
and Columbia Rivers are at flood
A cloudburst above Yakima last
night increased the anxiety of river
residents.
Those of the evacuated families
employed at the Hanford atomic
energy plant were given passes and
moved into a Government trailer
camp at North Richland, inside the
Hanford works.
Others took up temporary stands
at a former Government trailer
camp south of Kennewick.
Death Toll Rises to Seven.
Meanwhile, the death toll In the
flooded Pacific Northwest rose to
seven yesterday as swollen rivers
retnained over the flood stage and
gave little signs of receding.
Women and children, elderly per
sons and invalids were ordered
to leave Bonners Ferry, Idaho
where the Kootenai -River already
has broken through dikes.
The seventh death was recorded
at Lewiston, Idaho, where the body
of John Surry, 29, was found in the
Clearwater River. Earlier in the
dav. a road caved In along the Co
lumbia River and hurled a truck
and trailer into the raging stream
The driver, Roger Monte of Port
land. Oreg., was killed.
Temperatures soared to near 9(
during the day, melting snow higl
in the mountains and adding more
water to the rivers.
Flood waters were sweeping across
British Columbia, causing damage
estimated at $1,000,000 at Kimber
ley. Scores of families were home
less. __

Natural Gas Pipeline
Hearing Set Tuesday
Hearings before the Federal Power
Commission will begin Tuesday on
a proposed natural gas pipeline
which will ‘greatly augment" the
supply of natural gas to Washing
ton.
Permission to build the line, which
first was proposed early in 1947, is
being sought by the Atlantic Sea
board Corp. and its subsidiary, the
Virginia Gas Transmisison Corp.
The pipe would run from Charles
ton. W. Va.. to Rockville, Md.
Howard Noyes, general superin
I tendent of the Washington Gas
'Light Co., said the proposed pipe
line would "greatly augment our
supply here.” He added that he
hoped it will “adequately fill the
i needs of Washington consumers"
and explained that the present
gas line that supplies this city does
not sufficiently supply Washington
during the winter peaks of gas con
sumption.
Mr. Noyes said he understood the
proposed line would be 268 miles
long and 26 inches wide, would
cost $20,000,000 to build and that it
was scheduled to be in operation by
1949, if approved.
It was learned today that both
Charlottesville. Va., and Bluefield,
jW. Va.. have filed petitions in sup
port. of the application, as both
towns hope‘to obtaint tnatursr gas
supplies , if the new lipe is put

Oak Ridge Workers j
To Vote on Contract in
Emergency Election
By th* Associated Press
Attorneys for the National Labor
Relations Board have announced
plans to hold the first plant election
under the national emergency pro-:
vision of the Taft-Hartley Act on
June 1 and 2 at the Oak Ridge
<Tenn.> atomic laboratory.
Under the law, the employes must
vote on whether they want to accept \
the company's final offer of settle
ment.
In this case, the final offer of the
company—Carbide & Carbon Chem
icals Corp.—is a 35-page proposed
contract.
Charles N. Brooks. NLRB asso
ciate general counsel, announced
that instead of printing this docu
ment on the ballot, board attorneys
will ask only whether the workers
want to accept it, and the company
will send a copy to each of the 875
employes before the election.
Strike Threatened in June.
The workers are represented ov
the AFL Atomic Trades and Labor
Council. The plant is one of three
vital atomic establishments at Oak
Ridge. A strike was averted by a
Taft-Hartley emergency injunction
on March 19. This injunction will
run out June 7 and the strike is
again threatened t&en.
Kenneth'Scott, AFL organizer at
Oak Ridge, this week disclosed the
dates of the election and predicted
victory.
He has said the proposal contains
nothing new and has already been
rejected by the employes at a mass
meeting.
Mr. Brooks said the ballots will
be counted the night of June 2 and
the results announced. But the
vote will not be officially certified
to the United States Attorney Gen
eral until June 7. Mr. Brooks said,
to allow both sides five days to file
any objections to the conduct of the
election.
Company Offered l'i to 17>2 Cents.
On certification of the result, and
if the dispute remains unsettled,
the Attorney General is required to
ask the court to dissolve the in
junction. An inquiry board ap
pointed by President Truman made
its second report on May 18, which
was 60 days after the injunction.
The board said the dispute was stiH
deadlocked, with the parties holding
their same positions.
The company has offered wage
increases ranging between IV2 and
nVi cents an hour. The company
said this averages more than 10
cents an hour, but the union said
it averages only 7.4 cents an hour.
