Rockville may well lay claim to
a future TV personality, who
knows? Those of us who saw
young Pete Johnson last Saturday
were impressed with his poise and
delivery. Pete, you know, is Wal

program about his famous grand
dad.
We are also mighty proud of
our RMHS football team. They
defeated Sherwood 1876 last Fri

THE ffEih iNTERSRaTI6NAI iSRlSRHi Scene: t1f
Behind the sudden rejection by the
Austrian government of Jewish
claims for heirless property is the
assumption that the Jews have lost
their influence in Washington and
thus there is no further need to
negotiate with them.
This assumption is based pri-
marily on the notion that Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles is not
friendly to Israel, which is seen
by some members of the Austrian
cabinet as an indication that Wash
ington may no longer be backing
the Jewish claims against Austria.
1t will not take long before these
members of the Austrian govern
ment discover that they were mis-
taken.
Contrary to their calculations,
the u. S. government is not en-
tirely disinterested in helping the
American Jewish groups secure a
proper settlement from Austria for
heirlesS Jewish property left there
by families annihilated by the Ma
zis. In fact, American author
tiles in Vienna are watching very
closely sentiment in the Austrian
cabinet with regard to the question
of satisfying Jewish claims. And
the possibility is not excluded that
Washington may indicate to the
Austrian government its surprise
over the sudden breaking off OF
the talks.
However, it is significant that
the new trend in the US. govern
ment attitude towards Israel is
giving encouragement not only to
the Arabs, but also to some states
men in Europe who have a mis-
taken notion about American ideals
of justice.

Aus+rians See Influence

DOMESTIC ISSUES: Negotia-
tions between the United Service
for New Americans and HAS for
the consolidation of their activities
in the field of aid to Jewish imm1-
grants are progressing. How
ever, since no agreement has yet
been reached, the Council of Jew
ish Federations and Welfare Funds
is insisting that the communities
financing the two agencies be
given representation in the nego-
tiations.
This request is based on the be-
lief that without a neutral party
participating, the USNA-HIAS talks
may go on for quite time without
result.
The CJFWF claims that there
is duplication and overlapping of
immigration services between US
MA and HAS. The leaders of
these agencies have agreed that
any duplication that exists should
be eliminated The present
talks among the leaders of the two
agencies are directed toward ex-
ploring the possibility of a USNA-
HAS merger.
Speaking of the growing tendency
in the communities to check du-
plication, it is interesting to note
that many of the small and inter-
mediate cities report that the pro-
blem of multiplicity of competing
campaigns, especially for Israel, is
no longer a serious one. How
ever, in some of the larger cities
the problem still exists and is con-
sidered harmful. :.
In this connection, the communi-
ties are reminded that the Jewish
Agency has authorized only IL
campaigns for Israel in the Uni
ted States and published a list of
the organizations authorized to con-
duct these campaigns.

JERUSALEM, (JTA) = Presi-
dent Itzhak Ben Xvi will call upon
Moshe Sharett, the foreign minis
te~. to form a new government for
Israel following formal receipt OF
the resignation of David Ben Cur
ion from the premiership.
Sharett was unanimously con-
firmed for the post by the central
committee of the Mapai party,
biggest in Parliament and domin-
ant group in the old government
coalition.
The committee voted that Shar-
ett should retain the foreign min
istry in addition to the PREMIER
ship and that the ministry of de-
fense, held by Ben Gurion, should
go to Pinchas Lavon, who was min
ister without portfolio. Lavon's old
post would go to Zalman Aranne.
Ben Gurion, who is retiring to a
settlement in the Negev, will re-
tain his seat in parliament. His
resignation is expected to take eff

Such a chance was not to be
neglected, but alas, he had not
enough of dowry to give the man.
Would Mr.. Wolf be so kind as to
go to "the King of America" and
ask him for a contribution for his
daughters dowry? He would be
doing big Mitzvah."
Simon Wolf thought the request
so odd that he could not refrain
from showing it to President Grant.
"Is he serious?" asked Grant.
HE couldn't be more so," re-
piled Wolf.
President Grant took out his
check book and wrote out a check
for $25 to send to the Jew in
Jerusalem.
"YOU sEE," said Wolf, taking
the check, the pious Jew regards
it as a great Mitzvah to help in the
marrying off of a poor girl" Wolf
went on to explain just what a
Mitzvah is to the President. Help
ing poor girl marry was so great
a Mitzvah, that according to the
Jewish sages, one is repaid for it
in principle in this life and con-
tinues to draw interest on it in the
world to come.
The Jew from Jerusalem re-
ceived the $25 sent through Simon
Wolf and Immediately responded
with a picture of President Grant
which he designed with the letters
of the Hebrew alphabet. According
to Simon Wolf, this picture was to
be found among the other relics
of the period preserved by the
Grant family.

nized, who was now proStrating

NOW THAT former President
Truman has spoken at the Jerusa-
lem Israel Bond celebration in
Chicago and there is talk of his
visiting Israel, it is interesting to
recall that if President Truman
goes to Jerusalem, he will be fol-
lowing in the footsteps of another
former President - the man who
saved the Union in the Civil War
- General Grant.
The latter, on his world tour af-
ter retirement from office, visited
Palestine and watched the Jews
praying at the Wailing Wall.
The Grant party was a little
taken aback when one Jew pushed
forward and prostrated himself be-
fore Grant with a beaming ex-
preston of gratitude to "the King
of America" for having saved his
daughters marriage.
Grant looked on silently. The
other members of the party were
more perturbed, although evident
ly the man was not malicious.
Still, he appeared to be touched"

AS THE GRANT party left the

asked Grant what the man meant

Most political parties in the West German Re-
public are making an open bid for the votes of
ex-Nazis in the critically important September 6
general elections it was disclosed this week in a
report issued by the Institute of Jewish Affairs of
the World Jewish Congress. The report an analy-
sis of trends in the forthcoming vote for new
Bundestag Nower House of ParliamenD, reveals
that former high-ranking Nazis, among them Field
Marshall Albert KesSelring, convicted war crimi-
nal are included in the lists of candidates of even
major German parties.
The analysis points to the fact> that in their
zeal to WOO the votes of ex-Nazis, the important
political parties as well as the smaller national
istic splinter parties, are running former high
ranking officers of the Wehrmacht and the Nazi
party. The Christian Democratic Union, West Ger
many's strongest party which is headed by Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer, has nominated General
Won Schweppenburg, Colonel General Stumpf and
Herr Won Keuden, prominent member of the
Nazi Ministry of the Interior The Free Democratic
Party, which ranks third in Importance in West
Germany, has nominated Field Marshall Kessel-
ring and General Won Manteuffel. Kesselring was
tried as war criminal and sentenced to death,
but was later released from prison under Glenn
ency The German Party, which won $4,000 votes
in the 1949 Bundestag elections, has named among
its candidates Freiherr Won Doernberg former
Chief of Protocol of the Nazi Government, and
Paul Schmidt, Chief Interpreter at the Nazi For
eign Office.

Parties Bidding for Nazi Votes in Sept West German
Bundestag Elections. World Jewish Congress
Report Reveals

The liza report cities these nominations as
'only few examples" of trend which it de-
scrbes as strange and disqueting."
Although the new liza survey attempts only
to provide background data on the various West
German political parties, their relative strength
Platforms candidates and past records the report
concludes that neither the extremists on the
right nor the left" will be able to win.
The Communist Party, which polled $40 of
the total vote in the 1949 West German Bundestag
elections, is expected to lose strength in the Sep
tember elections, because of provision in the
new federal electoral law which stipulates that
candidate of political party is considered elected
unless his party receives either five percent Of
the total national vote; or wins by majority vote
in at least one district. The Communist Party chal
enged the federal electoral law, without success.
Despite the many West German political parties
that are running candidates in the present cam
paign, the liza report sees the basic struggle as
between DR.. Adenauer's Christian Democratic
Union (CDUD, which, under a coalition, has gov
erned the republic since 1949; and the principal
opposition party, the Social Democrats. If the
CDU wins the election, little change is foreSeen in
future German policy. If, however, the Social
Democrats emerge victorious, such pacts as the
European Defense Community Treaty. the Con-
tractual Agreement and the Schuman Plan which
were concluded under the aegis of the Western
nations, will probably come up for radical rev-
sion.
