Last week the Mufti was busy with plans in which his old pal Fawzi would be very handy. The Mufti came up with a tax on Palestine Arabs to raise $900,000 to fight Zionism. Part of the money would go to two Arab "scout armies" called Futuwa and Najada (together they number about 10,000). Among their avowed purposes is persuasion of Palestine Arabs not to sell land to Jews. The Mufti had his picture taken as he reviewed a visiting Najada detachment. The picture turned out remarkably like the one he had taken in 1943, while reviewing...
Recently returned from a meeting of the World Zionist Congress in Switzerland, Louis Lipsky, former member of the Executive of the Jewish Agency will present first-hand accounts of the internal crisis with Zionism tonight at 8 o'clock in Paine Hall...
...bullet-crushed jaw and the corundum-hard eyes of an Irgun Zvai Leumi triggerman, stood before a Jerusalem Military Court.

...decisions until they are forced upon him. While Byrnes has been saddled with negotiations on Europe, no U.S. policy ha's been made in wide areas of the world. The U.S. Palestine policy as enunciated by Truman was mere mischievous vote-catching, as unrealistic in its extreme pro-Zionism as the Grand Mufti's antiSemitism. No one is really making policy on Latin America. On China, a key piece in the U.S. policy structure, John Carter Vincent, director of the State Department's Far Eastern Division, last fortnight rushed in to fill the vacuum left by Byrnes...
