Chief Rabbi of Old City Tells
Of Death Threats by Own Race
By Daniel de Luce
A<$ociat*d Pr*»l Foreign Correspondent
. - With the Trans-Jordan Legion
to Jerusalem, May 29—The chief
rabbi of the Old City’s Jews as
‘ serted sadly today that military
extremists of his own race had
threatened him with death when
he tried to negotiate an early sur
render.
'From the start of the parti-'
tion troubles last December I was
against turning the Old City into
a battlefield,” said Dr. Mordecai
Weingarten, spiritual and political
head of what was the traditional
home of Jewry in the Holy City.
The rabbi was interviewed after
surrender of the Old City to the
Arab Legion which now has turned
its field guns on modern Jeru
salem in preparation for a wider
offensive.
’ Before the British left I wanted
to seek an agreement by which our
Orthodox Jewish community would
remain where it was, aloof from
hosilities,” Rabbi Weingarten said.
But I was prevented by the Jewish
military from making contact with
the Arabs through the British.
Threatened With Shooting.
The 57-year-old rabbi, fifth gen
era r ion of his family in the Old
City, said he began an attempt
last Tuesday to negotiate directly
with the Legion for surrender, "but
I was told that I and my two
children .would be shot as traitors.”
‘Finally,” he said, ‘‘yesterday
morning I defied the military ex
tremists. I told the Hagana com
mand our community of 1,500 would
revolt unless I was allowed to send
two rabbis out under a white flag.” |
. Rabbi Weingarten said he held
the hope to the last that some way
would be found to perpetuate the
tradition of Jewish residence within
the old city.
“Now our homes, our little shops,j
our 29 synagogues are demolished
or burned. There is nothing left.
We have nothing left in which to
live here.”
Rabbi Weingarten said he be
lieved the Hagana command, which
was under wireless instructions from
.a higher command at all times,
-might have consented to surrender:
earlier but for the arrival of fresh
troops May 17 when Arab irregu
lars were driven back from the Zion
Gatp.
. "Later they thought the Legion
*ould also be driven back," he ex
plained.
Valuable Library Burned.
He said the Hagana, Irgun Zvai
Leumi and Stern fighters were un
der a unified command in the Old
City.
"It’s hard to see the work of gen
erations destroyed before one's eyes,”
he said, "My most precious material
possession, my library of old re
ligious books, is all burned.”
The rabbi was interviewed at mid
day at the Armenian school where
150 wounded and sick Jews under
medical care are awaiting delivery
to the Jewish lines outside Zion
Gate or captivity as prisoners of
war, depending on the individual
records. One was his wife, a par
alyzed invalid.
"I shall be the last civilian al
lowed to leave by the Legion, which
is only right because of my posi
tion,” he said. "Yesterday the
Legion protected me from angry

Legion yesterday. More than 1.500
Jewish civilians were quickly re
moved from the area and the task
of transporting 293 Jewish military
prisoners was begun.
During the bitter fighting in the
Old City a mortar shell struck the
Holy Sepulchre, the holiest shrine
in Christendom, but did not ex
plode, a delayed dispatch revealed.
It was not known whether the shell
was from Jewish or Arab territory.
The missile crashed atop the Saint
Helena's Chapel, named for the
Byzantine queen mother who built
the first church over the sacred
place of Christ’s burial and resur
rection.
The dud mortar shell was the
first direct hit on the Holy Sep
ulchre. Windows were shattered by
bullets, however, and a number of
artillery and mortar shells landed
nearby during the fighting. Church
men said two priests and a monk
have been killed.
Several bombs hit Saint Saviour's
Monastery near the New Gate and
various oother churches were dam
aged.
Water Supply Threatened.
~ The surrender of the Jews in the
T31d City came after a five-month
jj}ege topped off an 11-day pound
ing by the guns of the Arab Legion.
Telling of the fighting a captured
Jewish liaison officer said:
"Our fighting men were too few
—our arms were too few—finally j
flUr position was hopeless and casu-'
cities were very heavy.”
' - A communique issued by the
fsraeli army in Tel Aviv said:
‘ The battle for the defense of new
Jerusalem and for the liberation of
the Old City continues.”
Isareli troops in the newer por
tion of Jerusalem are cut off from
new food sources and their .main
water supplies. The chief Jewish
effort, to relieve them is being made
in the Latrun-Bab El Wad sector
10 to 14 miles west of Jerusalem.
Accounts from Tel Aviv said
thousands of troops have been com
mitted on both sides in the develop
ing battle there for control of the
vital Jerusalem Tel Aviv highway
and the lesser tracks leading through
the Judean Hills.
Arab League headquarters said
tost night that Egyptian and Iraqi
planes attacked and scattered 10.
000 Jewish soldiers assembled in
the fight for the Bab El Wad gorge,
lour miles east of Latrun.
The battle, which may be a deci
sive one, is being fought in hilly
country around the Latrun Monas
tery with its famous Statue of
Peace.
Many Conflicting Accounts.
{ There were many- conflicting ac
counts concerning operations im
mediately south of Jerusalem. Ac
cording to the Arab League, Arab
troops are attacking the suburbs of
Baqaa. Talpiyot and Katamon and
are expected to capture those towns.
: However, Associated Press Cor
respondent Carter L. Davidson re
ported yesterday he had visited
Chose suburbs and none had been
kit by anything for two days.
; Mr. Davidson also said that Ramat
Rehel. a road control point on the
Southern edge of Jerusalem, still
Was in Jewish hands. The town has
been heavily shelled and now is
in ruins.
AP Correspondent, Daniel De
Luce, who told of the shelling of
modern Jerusalem by the Arab
Legion s artillery, said the stamping
cut of the last Jewish resistance
crowds which tried to spit in. my
face, and pull my beard. The Le
gion, I must say, has fulfilled all
its promises to us.”
Jew* Removed Quickly.
The bitter fight put up by the
Jews in the Old City ended yester
day. While it lasted the Jewish re
sistance served for 11 days to hand
cuff Legion thrusts into New Jeru
salem.
There are 80,000 to 90,000 Jews
in modern sections of the city. They
are cut off at present from the
main sources of Jewish strength
along the Palestine coast.
The Arab* went quickly about
the task of removing the Jews from
the Old City. More than 1,500 Jew
ish "civilians—women, children and
old men—left the walled area early
today. Many carried bundles con
taining their few world possessions.
For more than six hours the
shabby, frightened group trudged
through the shell-scarred Church of
Dormition—reputed scene of the
Virgin Mary’s death—and crossed
over to the lines of the Israeli
army. They left their gutted homes
by way of Arab-controlled Zion
Gate which had been a focal point
in the battle.
While the exodus was in progress
an Arab soldier fell wounded at
Zion gate. Sniping suddenly broke
out there coincident with Jewish
attacks against the Damascus and
Jaffa Gates. The attacks lasted
nearly 90 minutes and then dwin
dled to scattered small-arms fire.
No Jews Harmed.
Dr. Pablo De Azcarte y Florenz,
representing the United Nations in
Palestine, was standing with the
Arab Legion field commander when
news of the Arab casualty was re
ceived.
"It's only a provocation,” he said.
"Please keep pushing the civilians
right along.”
The Arab commander complied.
The legion commander reported
that "not a single Jew Vias been
harmed since the surrender.”
Legionnaires helped moved the 150
Jewish wounded to the Armenian
school from the Jewish military
hospital in the flaming ghetto. A
Swiss official of the International
Red Cross commended the conduct
of King Abdullah's soldiers and said
"they carried old women in their
arms to the Zion Gate.”
Buses were brought in by the
Legion to transport 293 Jewish men
of military age to an internment
camp in Amman. Trans-Jordan.
These men were held temporarily
behind bars in the city's police bar
racks. According to the surrender
terms, seriously wounded Jews are
to be delivered to Jewish lines in
Jerusalem. Others, if of military
age. may be kept prisoner.
One American Jew was said to
have been wounded in the fighting
and had been hospitalized when
the surrender came . He was re
ported to have served in the United
States Navy and have a family in
San Francisco.
Albert Britten, 23. a private in
the British Suffolk Regiment, was
captured by the legionnaires when
the Old City fell. He said he got
separated from his outfit when he
went out for a drink May 13, two
days before the British left. He was
held with Jewish prisoners in the
police barracks. The British consul
at Amman likely will intercede with
the Arabs his behalf.

TRANS-JORDAN’S KING IN JERUSALEM—An admirer bowed as he grasped the hand of King
Abdullah of Trans-Jordan (left, white turban) when the Arab leader, escorted by Arab Legion
troops, left Holy Sepulchre Church in the Walled City of Jerusalem shortly before the surrender
of last-ditch Jewish fighters. King Abdullah prayed at Moslem and Christian shrines during
the visit. —AP Wirephoto via radio from Cario.
will be saved from the scourge of
war,” he added.
It was reported authoritatively
that the delegates took a view of
guarded optimism as to the out
come of their work. They would
not commit themselves but It was
obvious that they felt their action
tonight had a better chance of suc
cess than previous decisions.
The Council vote on the Russian
American plea for forceful measures
was two short of the required ma
jority of seven, in which the five
big powers would have had to con
cur.
Gromyko Raps British Policy.
Russia, the United States, the
Ukraine, Colombia and France
voted for it; Britain, Argentina,
Belgium, Canada, China and Syria
abstained.
This was the second time in a
week that the delegates did not
approve a demand for strong
measures.
The proposal also would have
ordered a cessation of military
operations within 36 hours after
Council action.
After the vote on using force, the
Council turned to the British reso
lution calling for mediation, and an
embargo on arms and immigration
, into Palestine.
The delegates next ran into a
, snarl on a paragraph calling for
, an embargo on importing men of
military age into Palestine.
Andrei A. Gromyko, Soviet deputy
foreign minister, attacked it as the
most objectionable of the whole
| resolution.
Earlier, Mr. Gromyko declared
Britain's policy on Palestine was
| sheer hypocrisy, cynical and antl
I Israel.
The Soviet deputy foreign min
ister delivered one of the most se
vere attacks on British policy he
!ever had made in the Security
Council. Scattered hand-claps ap
plauded him three time^.
Cadogan Charges Abuse.
1 Sir Alexander Cadogan, British
delegate, replied crisply that Mr.
Gromyko had descended to “vulgar
abuse and general villification.” He
added the Russian delegate usually
resorts to such tactics when he is
not quite sure of his ground.
Mr. Gromyko called on the Coun
cil to defeat Sir Alexander's proposal
for peaceful mediation in Palestine.
He insisted the Council must take
a stronger course and approve the
Russian resolution calling for strong
enforcement measures to stop the
fighting .
Sir Alexander, backed by Belgium,
said his proposal was intended to es
tablish a four-week breathing space
for a final effort to settle the Jewish
Arab conflict by peaceful means.
Mr. Gromyko charged the British
want to tie the new state of Israel j
hand and foot by adopting a paper
decision. He said the British hope to
create circumstances which make it I
as difficult as possible for the new
Jewish state to stand on its feet.
He declared the adoption of the
British resolution would correspond
i to the imperial interests of Britain.
He said Britain's resolution com
1 pletel.v whitewashed the Arab states
;and that the British are defending
their position with true British
I stubborness.
Sir Alexander spent little time
answering Mr. Gromyko's attack.
Instead, he asked ■ those nations
which support Russia's resolution
for stronger measures, including the
United States, if they are prepared
to send troops to Palestine.
Reminds of League Failure.
Sir Alexander asked if the U. N.
had learned nothing from the half
hearted attempt by the League of
Nations to impose sanctions on
Mussolini.
He appealed to the Council not to
substitute U. N. forces for British
forces in Palestine, saving that no
settlement ever will last there un
less it has the agreement of both
parties.
Ferdinand Van Langenhove, Bel
gium, asked also whether countries
backing Russia's position would send
troops, or how they would go. He
said he doubted whether such meas
ures would be workable.
The Security Council last Satur
day approved a British plan for a
cease-fire order and peaceful media
tion, but it did not stop the fight

Senators Describe Own States
In Broadcasts Beamed to Italy
How Senators themselves describe
their home States in overseas
broadcasts yesterday was compared
with the descriptions of this coun
try that have precipitated a con
gressional investigation of the State
Department's Voice of America.
Walter S. Lemmon, president of
. the World Wide Broadcasting Foun
1 dation, made public the statements
of Senators included on a series of
weekly broadcasts beamed primarily
to Italy over Station WRUL, the
non-Government short-wave sta
tion.
At the same time, Chairman
Chenoweth of the House Expendi
tures Subcommittee investigating
the Voice broadcasts, called for
elimination of all the “music, trash
and nonsense" in the world-wide
information program.
Inquiry Resumes Tuesday.
The House inquiry and a com
panion investigation due to start
in the Senate this week are aimed
at placing the blame for Spanish
language broadcasts to Latin Amer
ica which have brought congres
sional charges of slander, libel and
sabotage. The House inquiry will
resume Tuesday.
A statement that “New England
was founded by hypocrisy and Texas
by sin" was among those cited by
protesting Senators.
In contrast, Mr. I^mmon pro
duced statements made on the
WRUL series by Senators Smith,
Republican, of New Jersey; Hill.
Democrat, of Alabama; Lodge, Re
publican, of Massachusetts, and
Baldwin, Republican, of Connecti
cut.
In Interviews with Mrs. John
Davis Lodge, wife of the Connect
icut Representative and chief of
WRUL's Italian broadcasts, the Sen
ators have discussed their own
States’ historical backgrounds, edu
cational institutions, culture, people,
! agriculture, industry and geographi
cal appearance.
“Clear Picture’* Sought.
The major purpose of the pro
gram. Mr. Lemmon explained, is to
present a “clear, unembellishcd pic
ture" of each State, with particular
emphasis on the part Americans of
Italian descent play in the State’s
industrial and cultural life.
Senator Baldwin, for instance,
spoke of the thousands of Connect
icut residents of Italian descent
and mentioned that “our State treas
urer and the Mayor of New Haven
are of Italian parentage.” He re

LAKE SUCCESS, May 29 —
King Abdullah advised the
United Nations today that the
holy places of Jerusalem are
now safe.
A telegram from the Trans
jordan King was read to the
Security Council by Faris El
Khoury of Syria. A rustle of
derisive laughter was heard.
Council Chairman Alexandre

Contributions Hit $7,000
In Negro College Drive
The Negro college fund campaign
has already raised $7,000, campaign:
co-chairman John L. Burling of
the Justice Department announced
yesterday. Largest contibution was
a check for $1,000 from District
Theaters, Inc., the check was pre
sented by Eugene Kramer, secretary
of the corporation.
Dr. Mordecal W. Johnson, presi
dent of Howard University, has
pointed out in a statement to cam
paign workers that the 32 Negro
colleges and universities which are
members of the Negro college fund,
train the majority of Negro pro
fessional men and women, and that
upon these institutions rests the
major responsibility of raising the
cultural level of America's 14.000,
000 Negroes.
Paraguay has a chronic gasoline
shortage, which may become worse.
ported that Yale University’s Ital
ian department is one of the fore
most in the country and that its
Jarves collection of Italian paintings
is ‘‘said to be one of the most com
plete and Important outside Italy
itself.”
Senator Hill talked of the indus
trial growth of his State, of its
forests and lumber production, of
the Birmingham blast furnaces and
of the ships that sail over the world
from the port of Mobile.
Typical was this statement:
"Montgomery has been our capital
for many years, and one of the
most beautiful examples of Roman
architecture is the State capitol
with its tall white columns and
rounded dome, setting on a high
hill overlooking the city.”
Friendship Is Emphasized.
Senator Smith, like his colleagues,
emphasized the feeling of friendship
between Americans and Italians and
added: “In light of the recent Ital
ian elections, we rejoice in welcom
: ing Italy into the family of western
! nations who are determined that
their freedom shall be preserved.’’
Senator Lodge, speaking in Ital
ian, talked of the great contribu
tion Italy has made to the advance
ment of the human spirit and con
cluded by saying, ‘‘We know that
the people in Italy are not merely
concerned with the act of keeping
alive. They are interested in how
they live and in what they live for.
That is one of the many things
which Americans and Italians have
in common.”
When the House Inquiry resumes
Tuesday. Rene Borgia, author of
the "Know North America” series
which aroused Congressional ire,
will have a chance to testify.
Mr. Borgia was fired March 10
from his script-writing job at the
National Broadcasting Co., which
handled the programs under a con
tract with the State Department.
Official to Testify.
Also scheduled to testify is William
T. Stone, director of the State De
partment's Office of Information
and Education Exchange.
Mr. Chenoweth said he was par
ticularly aroused because a foreigner,
the Venezuelan-born Mr. Borgia,
was chosen to write interpretations
of American life for radio listeners
in other countries. Mr. Borgia has
protested that he was ordered by
NBC officials to write "in a light
vein” about this country against his
wishes.

Voice 'Fan Mail' From Germany
Distributed by Woman Here
Dr. Helen Reid Sends
Letters to Persons
Who Will Reply
By Charles J. Yarbrough
A former German soldier who
prescribed an antidote for war has
a champion in Dr. Helen Dw'ight
Reid, chief of European Education
al Relations of the United States
Office of Education.
The prescription: “ * * * that
all the hatred and many wars be
tween nations are principally caus
ed by want of mutual contact and
understanding.”
That is not only Dr. Reid’s dog
ma—it’s her business. She receives
between 100 and 200 letters a day
from Germans and Austrians seek
ing contact with Americans for an
interchange of ideas.
She wants no part of the current
controversy over the Voice of Amer
ica broadcasts to Europe and South
America. As far as she is concern
ed, the Voice merely supplies listen
ers with her office address and the
idea of letter exchanges. American
licensed newspapers in occupied
zones also carry small advertise
ments giving the nddress.
Letters Are Fan Mail.
To her, the former German sol
dier's letter was fan mail. It ex
pressed what many others attempt
ed to say—sometimes in German,
sometimes in a stumbling effort at
English.
"I have learned by my own ex
perience,” he wrote, ‘‘that mostly
those men are fanatics being capa
ble of feeling hatred toward other
nations, who have no knowledge of
foreign languages and no idea of
other peoples’ characters and man- j
ners.” /
He said he was "thoroughly con
vinced that a general furtherance;
of mutual contact between members
of different nations will consider
ably contribute to avoid wars In
the future.”
His letter went to one of the
many student groups over the
j United States to be given to an
American mechanical engineer for
correspondence.
Dr. Reid’s files are bulging. The
European letters—some of them
jfrom the British and Russian zones
!of occupation—are indexed as to
age groups, occupations or profes
jsions; even as to interests. She has
j the answer to interpretation in an
efficient secretary, Mrs. Elizabeth
Bullock, 600 A street N.E.
Volunteer Workers Help.
The mail has so taxed her small
staff that volunteer workers are
helping.
Letters are screened closely.
‘‘Some of them think we’re a mat
rimonial bureau,” Dr. Reid smiled.
‘■Those, of course, we do flot dis
tribute.”
The European mail goes principal
ly to schools because the majority of
it is from children. Colleges over
the Nation have established a dis
tribution system for answering the
letters.
Dr. Reid's biggest distribution
problem is establishing contact with
business groups and adults. "We're
thinking of appealing to business
clubs, the Rotary, Lions and Ki
wanis and perhaps to parent-teach
er organizations,” she says.
"The teachers and students of
America have a challenging op
portunity to build an understanding
of democracy in the minds and
hearts of a whole generation of Ger
mans,” she adds.
Her letters come from students,
barbers, surveyors, lawyers, doc
tors. dentists, ministers and geo
logist. In the United States, they
eventually find their way to like
professions.
The interchange idea developed
about a year ago in response to
a flood of letters from the German
occupied zones.

You Can’t Hide
Your Hearing Loss
But you can hide your Western
Electric 65 Model Hearing Aid.
Designed especially to aid those
hard-of-hearing people who are
considered to be marginal eases
—hear reasonably well across the
desk or dinner table, in the front
rows at church, or the movies,
but who have difficulty distinguish
ing words at slightly 'greater dis
tances or in noisy places, confer
ences, lectures, across the living
room—those who say if people
would only speak a little louder
or enunciate their words more
clearly.
Here at last Western Electric has
developed a light weight, low op
erating cost and beautiful hearing
aid that will help and relieve you
of that nervous strain that cornea
from uncertainty and embarrass
ment.
