Frances Refugees
Must Return To
Occupied Areas

LISBON (JTA)-It was relia-
bly, learned from Toulouse that the
Vichy Government, acting in COM
pliance with article 16 of the
Franco-German armistice, is or
dering all refugees from occupied
France to return to their homes
there. Execution of the order will
mean deliverance to Nazi rule of
thousands of Jews who fled to es-
cape the German invaders.
It was also learned tina the
M yor of Vichy, acting in a
friendly spirit, has advised Jews
to leave the city.
Meanwhile, Jewish relief bodies
here have received appeals to Sc
cure the maximum number of for
eign visas for Jews in France who
will be affected by the order and
for VIII ON the revision of the
French Constitution, under direc-
ton of Pierre Laval, bodies ill.
The problem of Jewish refugees
from France is becoming increas-
ingly serious. The principal diff
Guilty is the finding of outlets for
emigration, but there are also diff
ficulties in arranging transit
through Spain and temporary res
idence in Portugal, and in find
ing overseas transportation.
Emphasizing that thousands of
Jews in occupied France could en-
ter Portugal if entry visas for
Latin American countries were
secured, the HIAS-ICA Emigra-
ton Association has sent an ap-
peal to it's branches in South and
Central America to advise wheth-
err these countries would relax i'm
migration restrictions for refugees
in view of the new situation.
"It is not necessary to tell you
with what anxiety we await your
immediate and, let us hope, pos
tive = reply" said the appeal,
which pointed out that the HAS
ICA itself requires refuge.

You can say that I intend to in
clude a very strong statement on
anti-Semitism in my acceptance
speech"
In the interview with The Day,
Willkie said: IT consider anti
Senitism in America as a possible
criminal movement and every an
ti-Semite as a possible traitor to
America-that America which is
so beloved and so dear to me, that
America which has always SYM
bolized liberty, equality and bro
therly love among it's inhabitants.
If anti-Semitism should spread it's
roots in the United States as it
has done in most of the countries
of Europe, then it would definite
ly be a calamity for the United
States. It would mean that the
main foundations on which our
country has been built are begin
ming to shake. There might even
be fear tn a t the principles for
which our forefathers fought and
bled are in actual danger.

Israel? I have spoken on the ra-

ton against race hatred, bigotry
and Hitlerism. did this long be-

solely because I wanted to express
my protest against Hitlerism and
against all fascistic persecution

shoulder to shoulder for tolerance
and religious liberty. We must all
of us work for the interest of our
country. We must think only of
what is important for the welfare
of the United States. Those who
are trying to bring to our shores
from Hitler Germany or from

Week In Review
HITLER OVER RUMANIA
By MILTON sROWN. J.T.A.


Rumania has taken another
long step along the road to Naz-
ism. A completely prO-German
and anti-Semitic cabinet was
formed by King Carol including
members of the shOrt-lived GOga
governments of 1888, Cuzists,
Iron Guardists and a member OF
the German minority, with Ion
Gigurtu, a leading prO-Nazi, as
Premier.
The new cabinet Immediately
began planning anti-Jewish mea-
sures, including a decree exclud-
ing Jews from the press. It was
evident that Rumania's Jews were
in for their darkest days since
and perhaps even darker than
the period that the violently anti
Jewish government of Octavian
COCA was in power in January,
1888.
Developments i'm Rumania pro-
vided a classic example of the use
of innocent Jews as a scapegOat.
The feelings of the population Ov-
the Soviet occupation of Bess-
arabia and North BuIxOwina were
turned against the Jews with a
systematic campaign of prOpagan-
da blaming "the Jews and the
British" for Rumania's troubles.
Anti-Semitic agitation was held
in rein only by the fear that wide
spread disorders might give Sow
ct Russia an excuse for further
action against Rumania. Yet,
though reports of anti-Jewish ex-
cesses last week turned out to be
exaggerated and the press was
curbed in anti-Semitic Indictment,
there was no doubt that the new
Government would proceed with
systematic attack on the Jew
lsh position, already undermined
oy years of anti-Semitic measures
and Northumberland of more
that 225,OOO Jews.
Wild charges were being spread
against the Jews which turned out
70 be false whenever they could
De checked. That the Jews had
aided, sought or welcomed the So
wet invasion was belied by the
1act that three times as many
Jews fled from SOviet-Occupied
6esSarabia as emigrated there.
Two Government officials in Bess-
arabia and BuIzOwina who had
Oeen reported slain by "Jewish
terrOrists" turned up in Rumania
alive and well. Z
German and italian propaganda
agencies spread wild reports of
numanian massacres of Jews. The
Or1lclal German News Bureau re-
ported the massacre of 600 Jews
Ny Humanian troops in Galati, but
IAlere was no confirmation of the
report Italian papers reported the
Jews We're fomenting trouble with
Tue ann of destroying the Ruman-
ian oilfields.
<ANA1-SEMITISM IN HUNGARY
a. meanwhile, Hungary, also un-
ecr Nazi domination, also carried
1 uTrGner its anti-Semitic program.
ne government planned new re-
strlcdOns on the Jews, but the
hungarian Nazis, dissatisfied with
'ne scope of the Governments
n. Inc introduced their own
Jill calling for unbelievabIy Sc
we're restrictions on the Jews.
: The bill would forbid Jews to
I've automobiles, become mid
wives, hoist the Hungarian flag,
Duy anything from a peasant or
Sisn any legal document. Only ell
ueSe sons and daughters of Jew
.sn families would be permitted
y marry. Jews would be permit
ecu 70 buy, sell or read only books
written in Hebrew or Yiddish.

heard dozen witnesses, including a

yesterday to a Securities and Ex-

agreement, however, that regulation

Charles Francis Adams, who was
secretary Of the Navy under Presi-

that investment trust directors be
free from af1iliation with companies
in which the trusts funds were in
vested.
Such a provision, he testified,
might "injure the best interests of
investors to an extent far greater
than any good which 1t could pos

q. M. w. Sprague, Harvard bank

posed limit on the size of investment
trusts.

Mr.. Sphague testified. II think you
are making a mistake If you plump
for large number of trusts of small
size"
Mr.. Sprague added that he meant
no criticism of small trusts, but be-
lieved they were best suited for OPP
erations in which trading profits
were emphasized, while the large
trusts could best operate with en-
phasis on income.
Mr.. Sprague said he agreed that

By the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, April 1s.-As-
sistant United States Attorney Gen.
eral O. John Rogge, who headed the
Louisiana political scandal probes,
today planned similar investigations
In Michigan, Arkansas and Georgia.
The inquiries directed by Mr..
Rogge, which resulted in indictment
OF many politicians, were widely
credited with having been a major
factor in the recent humiliation Of
the old Huey p. Long political dc
tatorship.
It was reported that similar in
vestigations were planned In New
Jersey, Florida and Pennsylvania,
but Mr.. Rogge declined to give any
direct information along this line.
Mr.. Rogge said at present he had
four men working in Michigan and
one each IN Arkansas and Georgia.
Saying he had been criticized for
"persecuting" Republicans in Mich
igan and that his Georgia investiga-
ton had been labeled by some per-
sons as an attempt to discredit Sem
ator George, Democrat, of Georgia,
Mr. Rogge said:
I'VE investigate complaints, not
people, and where there is a VIOLA
ton OF Federal statues, we prose-
cute, no matter who the offenders
are"
Asked in an interview why Arkan-
sas. Georgia and Michigan were
