Rep. John W. McCormack, majority leader in the House, tomorrow will present a letter to President Truman from the Political Action Committee for Palestine urging the immediate opening of the doors of Palestine to European Jewry. The letter opposes U.S. military aid in Palestine and calls for the immediate release of “thousands of Jews now held in concentration camps in Palestine and elsewhere,” and also objects to the transfer of British bases from Egypt to Palestine.
