200 RUMANIAN POGROM
MAKERS TO GO ON TRIAL

BUCHAREST (WNS) - The
perpetrators of the 1941 Jassy
massacres, during which over 49,
900 Jews were killed, are to face
a mass trial in the near future
before a special court, it was dis
closed here by government
spokesmen.
Among the 200 accused are in
cluded several generals and high
army officers. A government in
vestigation of the Jassy pogroms
and massacres revealed that the
order to exterminate the Jewish
inhabitants of that city had been
issued to the Sixth Hunters Rifle
Regiment by former Premier Ion
Antonescu, who was recently exc
cuted as war criminal. Eye wit
nesses told the Investigators that
many of the Jewish victims, in
Guiding women and children,
were buried alive after being SUBJ
jected to barbaric cruelties by the
pogrom makers. A mass grave of
the slaughtered Jews was uncov-
cred at Sculni. Many of the ex-
humed bodies showed that the
victims were killed by bullet
holes in the back of the neck. ALI
bodies in the mass grave were
later buried in the Jewish ceme-
terry at Sculni in accordance with
Jewish rites.

BAVARIAN TOWN
BOYCOTTS JEWS

MUNICH (WNS)-An econom-
ic boycott against the eighty-five
Jews in the town of Nuremberg
Worm Wald was declared last
week by the towns German popu-
lation.
Military authorities were re-
ported to have made an unofficial
suggestion to the Jews that they
abandon the town, but the Jewish
residents were reported to have
replied that the military govern
ment had failed in its task of
smashing Nazi activities. The boy
colt movement was precipitated
by the refusal of several small
Nazis to help exhume, for re-
burial, the bodies of 20 Jews who
were murdered in the Flossen-
berg concentration camp. When
the Nazis refused to exhume the
bodies, they were pounced upon
by several soldiers and Jews.

IBN SAUD ASSAILS TRUMAN'S
APPEAL FOR JEWISH
IMMIGRATION TO PALESTINE

LONDON (JPS-Palcor) King
Ibn Saud, in a letter to President
Truman released by the Saudi
Arabian Legation here, assailed
the Presidents recent appeal for
Jewish immigration into Pales-
tine, branded the Jews aggressors
and declared that he had always
endeavored to keep the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt and you, Mr.. Pres
ident, informed of the true posi-
ton in Palestine, and of the nat
ural rights owned by the Arab
people in this country for more
than one thousand years"
81 have never ceased to point
out that the Jews were aggres-
sors from the start" King Ibn
Saud wrote. "Their ambitions,
which know no bounds, have now
been extended beyond the Pales-
tine boundaries, threatening
neighboring Arab countries, even
to within the confines of our holy
lands" King Ibn Saud has pre-
viously frequently stated that he
has no fear of the Jews whom he
boasts he could destroy in a
single battle.
II am quite certain" the letter
continues, "that the American
people who have shed their blood
and spent their wealth in resist
ing aggression cannot now permit
this Zionist aggression against a
friendly Arab country whose only
fault was to believe in the prin-
ciples of justice and who has
given thousands of her sons to
fight for the Allied cause to which
you and your great predecessor
have contributed so much" Pal
estine Arabs supplied 5000 vol
unteers to the Allies during the
war, half of whom deserted. Ibn
Saud's military aid was limited
to fighting local tribesmen in his
country when the Turks were
diverted during the first world
war. In World War Two his con-
tribution was nil.

1000 JEWS HOLD AT CYPRUS

FAMAGUSTA, Cyprus (WN0)
The Rosh Hashonah services of
the 1000 detained Jewish refu-
gees here were conducted by a
rabbi who has been sent here by
the Chief Rabbits Religious Coun-
Gil in London.
The approximately 600 Jewish
immigrants who were turned
away from Palestine, when their
vessel, the Palmach, was inter
cepted by British authorities, ar
rived here for internment on the
British troopship Ocean Vigour.
The crossing was an uneventful
one.
Several of the passengers said
that approximately 40 Jews were
injured when British sailors used
tear-gas to subdue the passengers.
One Of the refugees, Yehiel
Schwartz, was killed when he fell
overheard after being struck by a
tear gas shell. Before leaving the
British ship, the passengers re-
moved the khaki clothing which
they had received from the Bri-
tish, declaring that they preferred
to enter the camp with rags they
wore when intercepted rather
than with clothing given them
by the British.

& CeAzaAs&Hsv
BY Charlotte Weber

WESTINGHOUSE the rec
ord the Republicans in Congress
are too skittish about the question
of immigration to venture beyond
a vague promise to give the
matter careful consideration and
close attention when it comes
up. Off the record, however, they
express thinly-veiled opposition
to any change in existing immi-
grafton laws.
The standard arguments against
any increase in immigration are
based on the lets take care of
own own-first" philosophy recent
ly expounded by Mrs Julius Y.
Talmadge, National head of the
OAR. They are worried, they
say, about housing shortages and
about jobs for veterans, already
difficult problems, without in
creasing the number of people
who need houses and jobs by en-
larged immigration.
In spite of stiff opposition which
the legislation will face on the
hill, the proposal is gaining in
favor down Pennsylvania Avenue
at the State Department In re-
cent Foreign Policy broadcast the
Department pumped for some ac-
ton soon on the displaced per-
sons problem. Their recommend
alton was that the refugees be ad-
mitted both to Palestine and, by
pooling of unused quotas, to this
country.
The proposal to pool the un-
used quotas has this advantage
over President Trumans sugges-
ton to admit a fixed number
it would mean that more than 50,-
600, repeatedly the figure that
Truman has in mind, could be ad-
mitted without upsetting the i'm
migration laws. Except for 1899
there have been more than 1OO,-
600 quota numbers left over each
year since 1881.
Representative Clarence J.
Brown of Ohio, recently campaign
director for the Republicans and
acknowledged to be one of the
party's strongest men, was queri-
ed about the Republican stand on
the matter. He said he thought
that this country had already done
lot for refugees by letting them
come in as students, technicians
and in various other capacities.
What Mr.. Brown has overlook
ed is the fact that persons COM
ing in under these categories are
only granted temporary visas.
The Department of Justice recent
ly admitted that for almost a year
now they have been deporting
aliens whose temporary visas had
run out. Stories in the press put
the figure around 1900 who had
received such orders.
Furthermore, no alien coming
in as a student on a temporary
visa can hold a job. Some were
allowed to work during the war,
it is true, but only as a wartime
emergency measure when we
needed all the workers we could
getget. The argument that there
are not enough jobs to go around
and what jobs there are should
be reserved for the workers here
is frequently used by those who
oppose immigration. Right now,
during period of relative pro-
sperity, this argument carries lit
tie weight. The Republicans, if
they are really worried about the
sentiment of the country, should
realize that resistance to the idea
of admitting the refugees now is

would be abolished their functions going to the standing committees Most important of all, there would be policy committees in each chamber to fashion definite programs for both the Republicans and the Democrats thus introducing real party responsibility into the national legislature.
 Unfortunately the La Toilette Monroney commit did strike hard enough at the worst evil in the committee system--the rule under which charmen automatically chosen by seniority and given almost autocratic power their groups Committee chair ought to be chosen for their qualifications and not simply because of their good fortune in winning elections
 A somewhat questionable item among the proposed reforms that which would authorize the committees to keep a running check the administration of all legislation passed by the Congress Ths idea is sound enough n principle but until get of higher caber than some of the present members it might be grossly abused. Federal administrators might be sub jected to endless harassment
 Perhaps if Congressional salaries were raised even higher than the committee recommends they would attact men with broader concept of their duties to the national legislature. The Heller report prepared for the National Planning Association, recommends flat salary of $2500o year for both Senators and Representatives
 In general the La Toilette Monroney recommenda- tons represent great advance toward better govern ml.lt In time as difficult and complicated "a time in which decisions must be made with the utmost intelligence as we'll with speed-Congress simply must break of it's horse buggy pattern Unless it adapts itself to the modern world Congress inevitably will continue lose prestige in the eyes of the people and power the affairs of the govern ment.

BALLOTS FOR 1s-YEAR-OLDS

President Trumans endorsement of the right to vote for 18-year-olds reminds some Alaskans that during the ls45 session of the Legislature bill passed which would enable 18-year-olds to vote in Alaska, providing it all right with Congress.
 Senator N. R. (Doc) Walker of Ketchikan was the author of the Speaking for the bill before it passed he stated that if l8yearold old enough to wear the uniform of his country overseas in war, then should be old enough to vote and furthermore had right to vote.
 The bill passed, but because it concerns one of the subjects which cannot be changed without the approval of Congress- the bill becomes effective only if and when it is ratified by Congress as an amend ment to the Organic Act
 Now that the President has come out for the 18 year-olds Alaskas law may be ratified sooner than we think.

Ceiling on Foreign Loans
Cincinnati Enquirer

(Cmclnnatl Enqurer)
 One of the obstacles to ratification of the pro- jected loan to Great Britain is the fear that it may become a precedent for many other loans, and that we shall be pouring credit into all the countries handi capped by war. It is important therefore, to make clear why the British loan does not establish a pre- cedent and it also is desirable to set an upper limit on future foreign credits whole.
 Indirectly at least, President Truman has approved an upper limit for additional credits He has endorsed the view of the Advisory Council on International Financial Problems to the effect that apart from the British loan total of s3,25O000O0O should cover the imperative needs of other qualified countries for dollar credits That of course, is lot of money But 1t is not greatly in excess of the funds already available to the Export Import Bank for extension of credits abroad and earmarked for that purpose.
 The loan to Britain larger than the total con- templated for all other countries combined, is in bracket by itself The dollar and the pound sterling are the trading of most of the world Pro- vded these currences stabilized and are kept in sound relationship to each other, there is good chance for the restoration of thriving international commerce. And if both Britain and the United States are working earnestly reduce trade barriers there is good chance to avert the disntegratlng influence of rampant economic nationalism
 It ought help speed the ratification of the loan agreement with Britain to have this definition of future commitments Nobody likes to sign blank check and nobody likes to make loan which might open the door to limitless lending.

HEART AND HOME

HEART AND HOME
 Young mothers should benefit un- der this configuration. Those con- cerned lest their babes are destined to live in a world of trouble should have faith in the infinite power of good. Their contribution to world harmony is to bring their children up in the ways of peace.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 A salesmen's heaven" lies in the almost limitless opportunities that will grow out of the impending per iod of prosperity. The demand for thousands of products now in short supply will exceed anything this country has ever known.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Cheaper and less durable houses will go up all over the country in the building boom ahead. The aim will be to furnish quick, inexpensive housing for the countless families now living in one or two rooms, trailers or shacks They will be built to serve an immediate need, not fer posterity.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 There are indications that Brit aims troubles in Palestine will in- crease, rather than diminish, through the period of postwar world adjustment. They who hope for a permanent Jewish common wealth in Palestine will need great patience.
 Those whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars: A year. of happy experiences with harmony prevailing in their lives, in and out of the home.
 Children born today are charter members of the inner circle of gifted men and women of their time. If they are started in the right direction and adequately coun-. seled against the pitfalls of ma turity, they should reach the heights of human separations.

APOLOGIES DON'T COUNT

However, it was Hannegan and Wallace whom engry members were really out to get, not the wo- men in charge of the Democratic Digest. The apology went unheed- ed
 Louisiana's Mckenzie then out lined the real reason for the secret caucus in lengthy statement, pointing out that there are 120 Southern Democrats who should have good deal more to say about party policy. The Administration not only has not consulted the Southerners, he said, but for years it has followed legislature inc which it knows southerners oppose.

 Finally when Abernethy demand ed a public ,retraction from Han negan for the offending article, Gore quietly argued with the Mis- sissippian for several minutes, urg- ing him ito tone down the resolu- ticn. Earlier, mild resolution by Representative Win Wilmington also Of Mississippi-calling merely for Investigation of the article was vigorously shouted down.
 Gore failed to pacify Abernethy, and the harsher resolution was passed with few dissenting votes. The dissenters included: Whiting ton of Mississippi, Malcolm c, Tar yer of Georgia and John E. Lyle of Texas.
 More than half a dozen members spoke bitterly against Wallace, es- pecially against his recent propo- sal for party discipline. Hannegan was the target of half dozen more. but Representative John E.

erners was ex-Prize Fighter Alfred J. Elliott of California, who de- manded letter of apology from Hannegan, insisting that Hanne- gan was personally responsible.
 Elliott told his Southern col- leagues that he sympathized with their problems, and that it was about time Democratic leadership began to pay attention to their complaints.
 As for Hannegan, Elliott griped that he had phoned him recently for an appointment.
 "The girl in his office told me he couldn't see me because he had just had tooth pulled" Elliott beloved "Tocth-pulled-why I told her I had 26 teeth pulled once but that didn't stop me from talking to people who had legitimate busi- ness with me"

pleaded, I'm not talking substance, I'm only talking procedure"
 Hodgson kept edging out the door and said, I'm sorry, my or ders are that we talk these things out publicly, not secretly. The world has a right to know what we say and do here"
 But, you can't leave," Byrnes begged, Its bad enough the Rus sians have left. If you leave, too, it will be a debacle All I'm inter ested in is procedural matters. I'm merely going to make a formal statement and stop"
 Finally Hodgson agreed to re- sume his seat but warned that he would not speak or vote in private regarding the Iran case.
 Byrnes then read a short but i'm portant statement. He said that the United States was now prepar- ed to accept Russia's proposal for a delay, until May 6 in discussing the Iranian case. The other dele gates, even Poland's Professor Lange agreed completely with Byrnes's May 9th delay proposal.

AUSTRALIA WALKS OUT?

The incident was hushed up, but the Russians weren't the only del- egation to walk out of a LIN. Se- curity Council meeting. The Aus tralians also walked out, but they did so at a closed door session.
 After Russia and Iran replied to the LIN. notes, Chinese Chair man pr. Quo hastily adjourned the meeting until Il am. the next day. Following which, Secretary Gener- al Trygve Lie called a secret meet ing of the Council in midtown Manhattan. At this point, the Aus tralian delegate, Col w. R. Hodg- son, protested both to Lie and Dr. Quo against secret meetings. Aus tralian Foreign Minister Evatt, he said opposed closed sessions on the vital Iranian matter, and quoted Evatt's belief that the Security Council owed it to the world to carry on open diplomacy.
 Both Dr. Quo and Lie assured Hodgson that only procedural mat ters would be discussed, that the Iran issue probably wouldn't come up and that the bulk of the busi- ness would be concerned with se- lection of a site for the General Assembly meeting next September. So Hodgson showed up.
 The secret session started peace- fully enough, with Lie speaking about moving LIN. from Hunter College in the Bronx to the Sperry Gyrcscope Plant in Long Island. Then the talk turned to whether or not delegates should hold indiv- idual press conferences or speak on the radio.
 Suddenly Secretary Byrnes asked for the floor and began discussing the Iranian issue. He hadn't fin ished two sentences, when he mo- ticed Australia's Hcdgson pick up his brief case and start for the door with his aides
 Hcdgson didn't say word, just kept walking. Byrnes stopped talk ing, rushed for the door, grabbed Hcdgscn by the shoulder and be- gan demonstrating with him.
