CHICAGO (WNS)—An emer¬ gency proposal for tho settlement in Palestine of 100,000 Jewiah refugees annually for tho next live years was adopted here at a national conference of the United Palestine Appeal and recommended to President Roosevelt and the intergovernmental committeo for lefugee omigration that is being farmed at his invitation as the major soliition to the problem of Jewish homelessness in Central aiid Eastern Europe which has been recently aggravated by the absorption of Austria in the Nazi ¦Reich, This proposal, cliinox; of the conference which heard Jewish leaders describe the "catastrophic plight" of millions of Jews, ur^ed the establlshinent of an interna¬ tional commission for the settle¬ ment of Jewa' in Palestine "on lines analogous to the Greek Refur gee ¦ Settlement Commission and tho Airmonian Refugee'Settlement Commissioni"

tal committee, set up an Inter¬ national Committee for the Set¬ tlement of Jews in Palestine on lines analogous to the Greek Refu¬ gee Settlemc;it Commission and the Armenian Refugee Settlement Commission -established after the World War,, and that tliis Com¬ mission shall oiFor its assistance and cooperation to Great Britain as the Mandatory Govemment for Palestine in effectuating the pro¬ gram adopted by the intergovern¬ mental committee, and (c)^that the coriimiasion to be created shall call for the assistance of private bodies in the financing, of: the re¬ settlement program, it: being un¬ derstood, however,' that the major responsiiiinty in initiating and ex¬ ecuting the settlement scheme rest with the .International Commis¬ sion." .

"This conference respectfully submits to President Roosevelt and Secretary Hull that they urge the American ¦ vopre*entativo on the intergovernmerital committee to have placed on tho agenda.of the conference of nations the position of Palestine as tho outstanding opportunity for.

VIENNA (WNS)—The long an¬ ticipated erganized anti-JeWish boycott campaign In Vienna began promptly at tho expiialion of the co-called ,"Ea3ter pence", when uniformed Nazi storm troopers and members of the Hitler youth started mass'picketing of Jewish shops throughout th'e' city. All but non-Aryans were forbidden to en¬ ter Jewish stores. Aryans who defied the boycott and ran the gauntlet of pickets, who number 30 or more to each block, found them¬ selves roughly handled by the crowds gathered to watch , the "fun." A number of Aryans, in eluding a Catholic, were forced to parade through the streets wearing signs reading "i have bought from a Jewish shop." An aged non- Jewish woman ,'vvho was seen emergirig from a Jewish store was similarly treated and compelled to' .march several blocks carrying a sandwich sign reading, "this swine bought from a-Jew," and ."stupid, vulgar jieople still buy from Jews.
The Whole Jewish quarter was emblazoned with placards and posters warning "Aryans, do not buy from Jews." The windows of inany Jewish shops were smeared with the word "J'ew" in three-foot red letters. In a number bf streets Jewish proprietors and Jewish em¬ ployes were compelled to picket their own establishments holding up ^igns,.. "don't buy from Jews, buy from Aryans." Chief Rabbi Is¬ rael-Taglicht was also forced to picket a Jewish shop, ha'ving been stopped by N'azis while returning from syriagogue services. He was relieved aft;er'a little whilo .when the pickets allowed another Jew to take his place.
reds after having been ruthlessly expelled from their native vIllageB and refused permission to cross the frontier into Yugoslavia, Hun¬ gary nnd Czechoslovakia waa voiced by Jewish medical authori¬ ties hero after an investigation had revealed the plight of the refugees. The number of refugees from Bur¬ genland is Increasing dally as moro and more towns there hoist whito flags to signalize tho complcto elimination of Jews. With lho Vienna Jc*s finding it increasing¬ ly difficult to provide food for themselves and, their families tho additional burden of tbe Burgen¬ land refugees has created a crisis. The fear of an outbreak.of diaeaae grows' out of the fact that many of the refugees are sharing already overcrowded quarters, in somo in¬ stances 15 persons living In one room. :    . '
Equally pitiful ia the plight of those Jews who have not been ex¬ pelled froni Burgenland village* but who have been deprived of their property and all means of existence. Jewish shops have been closed and Aryan shopkeepers have been warned not to sell to Jews. The Jewish residents are forbid¬ den to leave the limits of the town and must depend on the charity of Christian neighbors or tho secret sale of what personal ,property they: have left. Reporta from tho frontier indicate the tragic eltua- tion of the refugees. Several hun¬ dred who sought admisaion to Yugosla'via are still being held on the; frontier pending: instructions from Belgrade. A few have found sanctuary in the Oroszar. castlo in Hungary owned by the 74-year-old Princess Stephanie Lonyai.
Meanwhile the Nazis in Vienna
The launching of the   boycott, Ua^a intensified their   policy    ol which began without   any   legal ioroing Jews to do menial labor.

PASADENA, CALIF. (WNS)— Evidence that, the Townserid old age pension movement had joined forces with the Silver Shirts, the German-American Bund and other anti-Semitic groups came to light here when Henry Alien, a known Fascist and Silver Shirt' leader, harangued a Townsend meeting in a public school building. AUen, who is "a member bf the Townsend movement, niade an open plea for Fascism in America while his wife distributed ,the leaflets that have been thrown from rooftops of Los Angeles . buildings,, captioned, "Jcws!:Jews!

Out with theae Jews who are being freely admitted into this country by Madame Perkinsky and Red Ro'ose- ,velt. An alien power connived to defeat the Townsend plan. Jewa are responsible for.ha'ving pub Dr. Townsend in jaiL Hull gave our foreign markets to the foreign Jewa. Progress has not been riiade against Comiriunism because it baa not been fought ds a Jewish scheme." After his speech the audi¬ ence applauded and raised their hands in agreement with what he said. '
