Over 21,000 persons who filled the Hollywood Bowl at a mass rally sponsored by the Los Angeles Jewish Community Council expressed approval of resolutions demanding the immediate immigration of 100,000 displaced European Jews to Palestine and the transferring of the Palestine Mandate to a trusteeship set up under the United Nations.
The principal speaker at the outdoor meeting was Bartley C. Crum, member of the Anglo-American Inquiry Committee on Palestine, who attacked British policy in Palestine. He suggested that if Britian found it too burdensome to maintain an armed force in Palestine, it withdraw 100,000 troops and make room for that number of Jewish immigrants.
