Although told bluntly by local authorities that they could not leave the port, the ship officers sailed under the curtain of night. Days later, outside the territory waters of the Holy Land, five ; ; British destroyers and a cruiser intercepted the "Exodus" and the battle began. The decks were machinegunned : I and destroyers rammed the help less vessel 14 times. In the ac tion the helmsman of the "Exo dus" was shot down. Grauel first became concerned with the Palestine situation when he was appointed a member of the American Christian Palestine committee. Today he is convinced that the only solution lies in the preservation and growth of the Jewish state of Israel. Grauel will speak under the co-sponsorship of the Carolina Forum and the Carolina Inter collegiate Zionist Federation.
