Moscowitz Urges
Redress Against
Violations Of
Human Rights

LAKE SUCCESS (JTA) "A
plan providing for redress against
violations of human rights was
urged this week before the U. N.
Commission on Human Rights by
Moses Moscowitz,. a representa-
tive of the Consultative Council
of Jewish Organizations. The
Council is composed of the Amer
lean Jewish Committee, the
Anglo-Jewish Association and
the Alliance Israelite Universelle.
Mr.. Moscowitz urged the estab-
lishment of permanent central
and regional commissions to
whom petitions and complaints OF
violations could be directed
Such bodies, he suggested, should
be composed of persons who
would bring to bear Cancellation
and persuasion" rather than COM
pulsion in carrying out their
tasks and would operate under
strict rules of procedure with the
power to receive complaints from
states, individuals or organiza-
tons. He was particularly en-
phatic in defending the right OF
individual petition.

ism was rampant" Others,
perhaps a majority, agreed that
hatred was present but that they
had come to consider it common
place and that only the most
overt incidents were consciously
noted.
Those who praised Eisenhauer
most included Jewish fraternity
members and Jewish students ac-
tive in student government poll
tics. Rabbi M. Greenberg, direc-
tor of the Hillel Foundation at
the University, agreed with fra
ternity members. He said, "the
exclusion of Jewish fraternitieS
by the inter-fraternity council
represents definite, clear-cut
case of discrimination" The
Rabbi noted, however, that Uni
versity officials have been fully
cooperative in granting excuses
from attendance on High Holt
DAYS and in other matters.
The Anti-Defamation League
of the B'nai Birth was quick to
observe the situation in the wake
of Eisenhauer's surprising state
ment. A careful investigation
was carried out by Leon Sachs,
managing director of the Baltl-
more Jewish Community Coun-
Gil. Sachs said he found evil
dence of anti-Semitism in stu
dent elections but was more I'M
pressed by the obvious discrimin-
alton against Jewish fraternitles'
He said that versions of Eisen-
hauer's statements had been sex
aeeerated." Little trouble has
been reported by Jewish youths
applying for admission to the
undergraduate school, ne SAID
Sachs asserted that "there is no
question but that there is defin-
tie quota system at the University
of Maryland Medical School" he
told of plans of the community
council to encourage freedom OF
religion at the state university
in the light of Eisenhauer's cour-
ageous statements.

A Christian, Louis Eisenhauef,
retiring student president, re-
: Gently spoke before the Student
Government Association, openly
charging that anti Semitism is
rampant" on the College Park
campus. Eisenhauer, a Baltimore
student who is about to end his
term as president of the Student
Government Association, called
the University a school of little
men surrounded by big build
ings." t.@
He said that after his installa-
ton last fall he received a num-
Der Of complaints that he had
named "too many Jews" to stu

Other indications of anti-Sem-

that the inter-fraternity council

OF the schools, two all-Jewish
HaternitieS and that only one
Jewish candidate was successful
IN recent student elections.

Two veteran soldiers, each Of
whom thought the other was dead
have found they are very much
alive, especially when they begin
to swap stories of their expert
ences on Corregidor.
One is Filipino-Master Sergt
Primitive A. Villapando.
The other is 1t. Col. Frank F.
Kriwanek. post quartermaster at
the Army Medical Center. He is
the sergeant's former command
ing officer.
And now-seven years after
they were loaded into separate
prison bound boats on May &c
1912, following the fall of Cor
regidor-they are back together
again.
Sergt. Villapando is one of seven
soldiers, all former Philippine
Scouts, who came to the medical
center this week for duty.
It was the first time the seven
have been in the United States.
However, they are all naturalized
citizens.
Sergt. Villapando has served e.
years in the Army. Before and
during the war he was member
tof the famed scouts who fought
the japanese alongside American
troops and later harassed the
enemy in guerilla forces.
He was chief clerk to Col
Kriwanek in the Philippines at the
time of Pearl Harbor. Both were
captured by the Japs and sent to

geant was released after three
months in prison. as were other
native Filipinos.
II was laid low for more than
a year with disease" Sergt. Villa
pando said. But then joined the
guerrilla forces as a radio oper-
ator. We kept up with the Amer
ican advances by listening to
programs from a San Francisco
station
And when American troops re-
turned to the Philippines. the
sergeant was one of hundreds of
former scouts who rejoined United
States forces. II reported back
on February 4, t945," he recalls.
Since then he has served in the
Philippines. He was naturalized
on August %. 1916 and was de-
tailed to the medical center a
few days ago.
When he walked into the quar-
termaster office at the center. his
face frightened. So did Col. Kri-
wanek's. For moment they were
speechless. Each thought the other
was dead. But that didn't last for
long. And now Sergt. Villapando
is again serving as clerk under
the colonel.
They are busy talking over old
times. There is one thing they
don't talk about too much, though:
Before the war there were 10000
Philippine Scouts. After the war
there were 5000.

From lis Wholesale

A general reduction of gasoline
prices in the Washington area
appeared likely today after the
ESQ Standard Oil Co. cut it's prices
on wholesale deliveries by four
tenths OF a cent per gallon.
So far the reduction has been
passed on to motorists only in the
case of two service stations, oper-
|ated by the company at 261 Con-
stitution avenue NV. and 415
Rhode Island avenue NE. At
these stations. high-test fuel, re-
duced four -tenths Of cent was
selling at 26.1 cents per gallon;
regular at 24.1 cents.
Other retailers were expected to
make similar adjustments within
a few days. Company officials
emphasized. however. that inde-
pendent service station managers
must determine their own prices,
without control from the distribu-
tor. In a check Of these inde-
pendent dealers today, most man.
ayers said they had not heard of
the wholesale reduction yet.
Other deealers here had not cut
their wholesale prices today, but
in most cases. local managers said
they expected such a move shortly.
A spokesman for the Cities
Service Co. said that mo doubt
there will be some reduction" that
will be announced later. The
Gulf Oil Co. and the Sun Oil Co.
said they had no word from their
main Offices. but that some
change might be anticipated.
Spokesmen for the American and
Sinclair companies refused to
speculate on possible reductions
of their gasoline prices.
ESQ officials explained that
increased crude oil runs during
recent months" have resulted in
a temporary oversupply" Of gaso-
line inventories. leading to the
cut Of from 2 to 6-10ths Of a cent
per gallon throughout the East.
