PIERRE CRABITES, FORMER AMERICAN MEMBER AND CHIEF JUDGE OF THE MIXED INTERNATIONAL TRIBUNAL AT CAIRO, IN A THREE-COLUMN LETTER PUBLISHED BY THE NEW YORK TIMES SUNDAY. CRABITES, WHO IS NOW PROFESSOR OF LAW AT LOUISIANA UNIVERSITY, URGES ZIONISTS TO INSIST THAT THE EX-MUFTI, HAJ AMIN EL HUSSEINI, BE PERMITTED TO RETURN AND BE RESTORED TO HIS OFFICES ON THE GROUND THAT THEY WILL NEED HIS COOPERATION WHEN BRITAIN ABANDON’S HER ROLE AS POLICEMAN IN PALESTINE.
