control Of approximately $455,-

industry in Argentina, con-
gressional committee investi-
eating anti-Argentine activities
said today in a report for the
house of deputies.
Germany gained this eco
nomic power through seizure in
occupied territories of firms
having branches in the country,
the report said.
According to an advance sum-
mary, the committee charged
that the German Chamber of
Commerce and like German
business groups in Argentina
were in reality zone more tool

1t asserted these organizations
collected money in the German
Colonies here and distributed it
for Nazi purposes through the
German Embassy, which so far

its normal expenditures.
The cost of operating the Ger
man Embassy is 10 times more

Then they gave the rats B-1
and also most of the other B vi
tamins along with some calcium,
phosphorus and magnesium. The
rats in all cases became less SUBJ

The Pittsburgh workers con-
cluded that lack of vitamins,
especially B., and lack of food
are important factors in causing
rats to fall into sound-induced

American Rabbis In
 Favor Of Relief Plan
e Prominent Jewish Leaders Ask Aid for Victims of
 Oppression in Western Europe; Support Hoover

nize that segment of American opinion which fears that help to starving civilians may mean aid to the Nazis.
 But we are confident that some plan can be worked out which will save the lives of women nd children, and which will not materially affect the military situation. The plan of supervised Committee on Food for the Small Democracies, gives prom iSe of providing the solution. This proposal should engage the sympa- thetic consideration of all who are in any way involved in this problem, and we especially urge our brethern to accord to the finding of the Na- tional Committee the painstaking study merited by its effort to pre- serve human values and to save hu- man lives
 Our Jewish tradition, no less than that of our Christian brethern. enjoins upon us compassion for the suffering, and emphasizes the sanc- tity of human life. He who saves one life is accounted as though he had saved the entire world says our rabbinic literature. The Biblical command to feed even our enemy when he is hungry is reiterated by our sages. How much the more then are obliged to seek to save the lives of these starving innocents who are not our enemeis but vanquiShed friends of democracy, the unfortu- nate victims of events beyond their control
 we record our approvel of the quiet, courageous way in which the National Committee on Food for the Small DemocracieS has Striven to carry out the mission entrusted to it, working to win support for its proposals without entering the realm of political controversy or us- ing those methods of intense cam paigning which might evof1e debate and stir up unwanted prejudices.
 we regret that, despite this fact the Committee has been the target for unjustified attacks. Some agen- cy must continue to uphold the cause of these starving men, women and children and must continue to seek to formulate a plan acceptable to the belligerentS, which will bring relief to the millions of innocent sufferers whose piteous cry is all but lost in the din of conflict.
 "In the name of the God and Father of all men, and of our com mon humanity, we commend the work of the aNtional Committee on Food for the Small DemocracieS ir Blessed effort it is making"

RabbiS from "A states are included in the list. Rabbi Maurice L. Zigmond of Temple Is- rael synagogue of Waterbury is one of the Connecticut signers.
 "The state of unlimited emergency which The President has proclaimed cannot blind us to human needs and should not Stifle our humanitarian impulses. This is 8 truiSm which our national administration itself would affirm. And yet there is the danger that, in concentrating upon the program of action which has been mapped out for them, our peo- pie may overlook duties, not incom- patible with that program and still meriting our attention.
 we, as religious leaders, cannot be indifferent to the suffering that, in increasing measure, is the lot of the innocent civilian population of Western Europe. It is our duty to apply our intelligence and our ener- gies to an unremitting effort to find some means, acceptable to all con- cerned, to succor our unfortunate fellowmen. We recognize the practi- cal problems involved in any effort to bring food to Belgium and other stricken areas, and we also recog-
