These are the three-fold enjoyments in store for those who have made pledges to the 20th Annual Hadassah Donor Dinner, to he held Sunday eve¬ ning, Dec. 12, at the Neil House.
That, the local Jewish com¬ munity Is Interested in contribu¬ ting to Hadassah's work—and of spending a most worthwhile eve¬

Expect Second U.S. Statement on Palestine Following, Truman-Marshall Consultations
PARIS, (J'TA)—A further U. S. statement on Palestine may be expected soon in the U. N., following consultations between President Truman and Secretary of State George C. Marshall in Washington. Dr, Phillip Je.ssup, of the U. S. delegation, in what he described as a preliminary statement, told the Political Com¬ mittee that the United States opposes any Israeli territorial changes made without consent of the Israeli  Government.
Both Bdtlsh and American delegation spokesmen maintained that there is no real cleavage between the two delegations on the Palestine issue, but U. N. observers, after studying the Jessup statement point to two revealing differences.
The British resolution on Palestine now before the Politi¬ cal Committee, starts from the premise that the Bernadotte re¬ port will be implemented as a whole, while the American state¬ ment on Palestine takes the Nov. 29 partition resolution as the basis for its recommehdations on the solution of the Palestine dispute.
Secondly, Brltian   wants   the General   Assembly   to   impose  a territorial    settlement    on    the Palestine  disputants,  while  Dr. Jessup has repeatedly efnphasiz- ed that the settlement should be the pi:oduct of negotiation and conciliation  talks.  Both  delega¬ tions agree, however, that Jeru¬ salem should ba internationaliz¬ ed under effectl"J(e U. N. control. Tho United States declara¬ tion   accepted   seven   basic promises of the late Count Foike   Bemadotto'B    report, although    not    Its    specUlo territorial recommendations, and  endorse^   'Israel's    ap¬ plication for U.

Americlin Zionist Leaders Urge Revamping of UP A; Ask Direct Transmission of Funds
The text of the resolution 'Adopted by the Executive Com¬ mittee of the Committee  for  Progressive  Zionism  follows;
"The Committee for Progressive Zionism has refrained from entering into the current controversy in the United Palestine Appeal, In the conviction that it would be -soon resolved to the best interests of the Zionist Movement and of Israel.
'In view,4iowever. of continu¬ ed public discussion, and of the demands for an expresslori of its vi^ws, the Committee states the following:
"Every Zionist who has wit¬ nessed the revolutionary changes which have taken place in world Jewry—the creation of the State of Israel—the State at war in Israel—the imperative need and demand for Increased resources, both human and ma¬ terial, in order to meet the heavy responsibilities of the day, is forced to the realization that every segment of American Jewry, Irrespective of pafet Itten- tlficatlons, must be hitegrated into the work for the support of Israel. Only by making the re¬ sponsibilities coextensive with the resources and good will of the American Jewish communi¬ ty will it be possible to provide that support for Israel which it now rc(|uires to meet the his¬ toric dictates of the hour.
"This progression la not unique in the Zionist Movement. It has been a cardinal principle in the extension of the .Zionist Movement from its earliest days. It was one of the liaslcideals of Theodore Herzl. AfterVthe is¬ suance of the Balfour Declara¬ tion, and again (upon the Is¬ suance of I the / Mandate, the Zionist Movement Invited for participation in its work, all segments of Jewry throughout the world which had thereto¬ fore not participated in its pro¬ gram. The Palesline Foundation Fund, itself one of the parties in the controversy, was or¬ ganized in 192! on this principle of enlarged cooperation, as was the Jewish Agency for Pales¬ tine in 1929.
