An officer who te considered one of tne leading figures among those who laid the foundations of victory for Britato was Major Lionel Wig-ram, of the Royal Fusiliers. He was kffled while leading a detachment of Italian irregulars on the Eighth Army front. He was 37 yean old.
Before the war Major WSgram had achieved marked success as a eotiettor to London�in1938 he carried out what was believed to be one of the May it property deal* known in this country, the sale of the Cardiff estate of the Marquess of Bute, which mvoived the sum of �4,000,000.

U.S. Witt Not -Try To Dissuade Britain From Palestine Policy
The House Foreign Affair* Committee voted on March 17 to postpone consideration of resolutions whloh wouk) put Congreat on record as favoring the free entry of Jews into Palestine, and the eventual eaUbUenment of a Jewish commonwealth in that area.
Representative Sol Bloom, Dem-ocrat, of New York, chairman of the committee, announced that "advice and information given to us by those responsible for the conduct of the war, have convinced the committee that action upon me resolutions at thte tune would be unwise." He added that the resolution had not been tabled, indicating they expected tt to be taken up later on.
Mr. Bloom made It ch?ar that he personally voted against the motion to postpone consideration of the resolutions. This was believed to be the flat time that the committee under Mr. ^Bloom's chair* manahlp has not adted by unanimous vote.
Tile committee action .apparently ended the last hope of formal intervention by any branch of the A�Ttmn fmrrmiBMl to dissuade the British government
