% Received Friday, 11.25 a.m. LONDON, August 15. Two shipments of' illegal immigrants brought from Haifa in the Empire Rival and Empire Heywood have been landed at Famagusta. The disembarkation was completed without incident. One of the tirst ashore was a mother with a newborn infant. There were some stretcher cases of sickness. Meanwhile, 815 more JAwish immigrants have reac-hed Haifa after twenty-one days at sea aboard a 300-ton schooner. About 150 were ill and thirty-seven pregnant women, immediately they landed, were sent to hospital.

A British ofiicial said: "These people are fanatics and they will stop at nothing to get into Palestine." The financial strength of the organisation operating the illegal immigration is indicated by a report that 2200 ,persons were carried on a ship which slipped out of a lonely part of the coast near Savona. In Paris to-day a Jewish Agency spokesman said the non-co-opera-tion campaign could not begin on August 18 as previously announced. The details were .still under discussion. The Jewish Agency and Jewish National Counci' have apparently disagreed on the question of non-co-operation. The decision to start a non-co-operation policy was taken at a meetmg of the Jewish National Council, composed of all political parties in Palestine. Following a meeting in London between members of the Jewish Agency and the Colonial Secretary, Mr. George Hall, it was announced in Paris that a Jewish delegation would fly to London for talks. with Mr. Hall. After yesterday's meeting the president of the Jewish Agency, Dr. Chaim Weizmann, said that Jewish representation at the conference in London was discussed. He was hopeful that some arrangements would be reached. In Washington to-day the Presidential Secretary, Mr. Ross, said that President Truman had sent the British Government some suggestions he thought miglit be helpful. These will not be published in Washington. He added that Presi-

dent Truman had not proposed any formal plan. The play wright, Ben Hecht, joint 1 chairman of the American League for Pree Palestine, said that from 200,000 to 300,000 more Jews were : needed in Palestine to dislodge the ! "illegal British." He added:. "We jintend to see that there are 1 enough." Hecht declared that the British blockade would only double and quadrupie the league's efforts to finance and arrange transportation of European Jewish refugees to Palestine. Diplomatic correspondents in London say that President Truman's note on Palestine advocates a larger Jewish State than that suggested by the Anglo-American experts. President Truman is believed to advocate an increase of 300 square miles, making a total of 1800 with alrnost complete autonomy, including control over immigration for Jews within the State. President Truman's plan is thought to be largely inspired by the Jewish Agency. The Daily Mail says that President Truman's plan is said to be partlv based on that taken to Washington by Dr. Hahrum Goldman, a member of the Jewish Agency executive. The Jews under this plan would receive for development and settlement all Ganiee Negev, the Central Jordan valley and the contiguous mountainous region. The Samaria province, with Jaffa, would go to the Arabs. The ultimate termination of the British mandate and complete independence of the Jewish State would be aimed at, but provision would be made for continued British use of the Mediterranean bases.
