Truman Policy For Palestine
Republican Leader Denies Vote-Getting Influenced Decision
NEW YORK, Oct. 6—(UP)— Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, 1944 Republican presidential candidate. said today that he wanted to make it “crystal clear to our British friends” that demands for immigration to Palestine transcends Darti-san politics in the United States.
Dewey in a speech at a dinner sponsored by United Palestine Appeal supported President Truman's appeal last week to British Prime Minister Attlee for the opening of Palestine “at once” to Jewish immigration.
Dewey asserted that the question of Palestine is not a political issue between Americans. It is a fundamental issue of human rights, of human freedom.
The Palestine Arab higher executive in Jerusalem tonight charged that President Truman made his statement on Palestine last week because “he needs Jewish votes” and warned that the Arab world j would fight his “policy of enmity.”
In a formal statement expressing “astonishment at President Truman’s rash declaration” that 100.-000 Jews be admitted immediately into the Holy Land, the executive pointed out that Arabs opposed this
All Trojan veterans under the GI bill must complete “Estimate of Compensation from Productive Labor” forms and return them to the Office of Veterans Affairs. These forms are not to be confused with “Trainee Report of Earnings" sent through the mail this month.
The “Estimate of Compensation” blanks must be obtained at the veterans’ campus headquarters, 834 West 36th street, and will not b« sent through the mail. The rule, recently instituted by the Veterans administration, applies to all students under Public Law 679, whether they be day j students, or evening students.
The form requires statements! j both from veterans and employers as to length and schedule of employment. wages received, and bonuses or commissions granted. Failure to submit reports may result in cancellation of subsistence payments.

Acacia Croup Gets Full Approval; Beta, KAPsi Colonies Organized
Expansion of the Trojan fraternity system officially began on a limited scale Friday with the announcement by Norm Hawes, Interfraternity council president, of the group’s acceptance of Acacia as a campus fraternity.
Two other national fraternities. Kappa Alpha Psi and
Beta Theta Pi, were approved by --
the council as “colonies.” Their “colony” status will give them a nonvoting seat on the council, Vice-President Al Kotler said.
“The policy of the council will be to encourage conservative expansion of the fraternity system,”
Hawes said.	'
He added that campus fraternity officials are opposed to anything but a limited expansion of the existing system.
The establishment of Acacia increases the number of SC fraternities to 21.
ACACIA’S HISTORY
Acacia was founded May 12, 1904. at the University of Michigan. It originally restricted its membership to members of the Masonic order, but this restriction no longer stands, according to Dr. Thomas Clements, professor of geology and alumni adviser to the group.
The fraternity now has 25 active chapters. The local group does not have a house but holds weekly meetings in the Student Union.
Howard Wagner is president of the Troy chapter.
KAPPA ALPHA PSI Kappa Alpha Psi is one of the largest national Negro social fra-
AFL Charges CIO Practices Aiding Inflation
i CHICAGO, Oct. 6—(UP)—The | American Federation of Labor’s I executive council charged today | that wage policies of the adminis-| tration and the rival Congress of 1 Industrial Organizations have contributed to inflation.
The executive council, in its report to the 65th AFL convention, also asserted that appeasement of the “imperialism and aggressive policies” of Soviet Russia would “imperil” free government.
The council's repoit was issued as about 600 delegates representing a record membership of 7.151.803 assembled for formal convention sessions beginning tomorrow.

The council charged that the administration's “hold the line” policy was broken by the CIO steel strike last January, when steelworkers struck despite an offer of a 13-cent hourly raise.
