NOT ALL JEWS PLAN TO LEAVE POLAND
¦ WARSAW, (JTA)—(Contrary to reports, not all the' Jews left in Poland now are planning to leave. But even those few who are planning to remain admit that they may have to change their minds in a hurry.
It Is not a question of econ¬ omic security and certainly not a question of an unfriendly government. It is simply the fear that tonight or tomorrow the Innate anti-Semitism of so many of the Polish people may break out in a violent form.
In Warsaw there Is a capa¬ ble Jewish woman lawyer who had decided to remain in Pol- ond and who had an excellent position as office manager of a large organization. Her posi¬ tion offered both economic se¬ curity and opportunity for ad- vftncemfirit. Two months ago, her husband's best friend, a Jewish doctor, was wantonly murdered in his house by mem¬ bers of one of the forest bands.

Although    the    Council    has never stopped sending supplies to the  desperate  overseas  sur¬ vivors,   they  are  reemphasizing the Importance ot this work in the  hope  that  the   boxes  sent now  will   ease  the   winter  for lOur miserable people in Europe. The thanks which have been received for boxes already sent proves what we imagined—our clothing and food supplies mean the   difference   between   living and existing tor lonely orphans in   France   for   displaced   pp'" sons, for the old and the help¬ less. There are young girls who have   no   underwear,    children who have never seen a doll or a   picture  book,  boys  with   nd shoes, old people without coats. As  you  sort  out  your  cloth¬ ing for next season,  please re¬ member  these  people  overseas. Take your extra clothing to the Bryden Road Temple, or, if this is   impossible,   Call  Mrs.   A.   B. Weinfeld, DO.  1336 or Mrs.  R. B. Greene, DO. 8709, and your packages wijl .Hsie picked up.    . Any   aid  you  can   give   the Council In helping to buy and collect  for  tJielr  Mercy  Drive wUl    be    deeply    appreciated. Everything   you   give   will   be speeded to' Europe—to bring aid and comfort before the Vlntei cold coinea.
The guest speaker at the In¬ stallation Banquet of the offi¬ cers and board members of the Columbus Zionist District scheduled for Sunday evening, Sept. 15th, at the East Broad St. Temple, will be Dr. Alfred Jaspe, Director of Hillel Foun¬ dation, Indiana University.

'¦ <»'¦ Setjkire-'Vljias'. 'The number, of Jews who leave Poland legally is so small in comparison that'll is hardly worth mentioning except as an illustration of the difficultie;s that Jews who want to leave Poland  must  face.
To get out of Poland, there is only one direction for Jews —south through Czechoslovakia. The Czechoslovak Legation In Wiirsaw will only is-fue visas to those Jews having a United States .military pernvlt which will enable them to- enter the American zones of Austria and Germany. The office of the American military attache in the American Embassy in War¬ saw will issue military permits ,only to those Jews who want to go through the American zones and can furnish proof that they are in transit- and have a visa from some country in South America or from South Africa, France, Belgium or Hol¬ land.
'Visas of this type are, of course, very rare. The passport willingly granted to Jews bx the Polish Government Is .an "emigration passport" as a result of which foreign legations in Warsaw are reluctant to grant visas for fear that the Jews will "settle down In their coimtries. Belgium, France and Italy have each allocated 500 visas for Polish Jews but they are re¬ stricted to orphans under 16 years of age. Still the Ameri¬ can military attache's office here, despite extremely limited facilities, Is interviewing about 50 persons a day and granting tiermlts to half that number of whom two or three are Jews. These fortunate few then leave for Czechoslovakia^but for they are They,

"The gratitude- not Only ot all Jews but ot all who feel the responsibility tor the salvation ot these unfortunate Burvlvor.<i must go in full measure,to the President."
Mr. Proskauer warned , that the negotiations in Londoft be¬ tween the Jews, Arabs and British were "of the devest and most deteiTnlnatlve conse¬ quence," and he urged the sup¬ port of the plan the Jewish Agency has forwarded as a t)as- is of the negotiations.
Responsibility today rests prhnainly on the Jewish Agen¬ cy which is the only Jewish or¬ ganisation that has been In¬ vited to conferenece by the British," he said.
"I have reason to believe that at this particular juncture the agency is evidencing an in¬ tent to respect that principle. So long as It continues, it Is our, duty to aid It in the dis¬ charge of its grave responsibil¬ ity."
