Refugees Say Reds
| Threaten 10 Execute
East German Jews
BY the Associated Press

BONN. Germany, Jan. 3d.
Communist secret police are
threatening some of East Ger
many's hapless Jews with execu-
tion unless they agree to spy on
other Jews. refugees who have
just fled to freedom in the West
claimed today.
These refugees, all Jews, said
some of their faith even have
been warned that their children
will be killed if the parents re-
fuse to give information about
friends to the RuSsian-trained
secret police.
Terror and tragedy are the
lot of the 1900 Jews left in East
Germany as Communist authori-
ties step up the anti-Semitic
campaign remote controlled from
Moscow, according to these
sources.

Sixty-five per cent of the East
German Jews are aged and live
on pensions. These are being
Topped off as many Jews resist
the demands of Communist po-
lice that they become spies.
More than 8 per cent of the
East German Jewish population
has fled to the West since the
purge Of Jewish leaders in
Prague late last year. The
breakdown on the East German
Jews began at the same time.
The West Berlin Jewish COM
munity is urging those who are
left in East Germany to come
to the West. Twenty-Five to 80
a day are eluding Communist
patrols and reaching Berlin.
Each one has a story Of fear
and heartbreak to tell.
A Jewish man, his wife and
their three children were in their
East Berlin apartment when,
without warning, they saw po-
lice moving toward the door.
The man ran with his children
to a back window, jumped out
and escaped. The wife appar-
emily turned back to save some
of her belongings and has not
been heard from since.

MANKATO, Mimi, Jan. 30
A man whose leg was broken in
an auto mishap crawled a mile
in below-freezing weather until
he finally convinced one of three
passing motorists he needed
help.
The man, James Gemlo, 80. a
former Navy gunner's mate who
survived two torpedoings, was
recovering today in st. Joseph's
Hospital.
This is the story he told a re-
porter:
Mr.. Gemlo, a sales supervisor
for a brewing firm, was driving
home Monday night when his
car went off an icy gravel road
in rural area.
His right leg was broken in
two places below the knee. The
temperature was 10 above zero.
He crawled onto the road.
Two cars stopped and he
pleaded and begged" for the
drivers to pick him up. Eyeing
him suspiciously, the drivers
continued on.
Mr.. Gernlo was wearing a coat
but no gloves. He kept trans
ferring a handkerchief from one
hand to the other to keep them
from freezing.
He came upon a farm driveway
and started toward the house
However. a dog began barking so
he turned back and crawled to-
ward the mailbox. He propped
himself against the mailbox, but
the box broke off the post, caus-
ing him to fall. He pulled him

been inactive. He had used the
Islamic Congresses to organize a
kind of cover organization which
would house the violent-anti-
Western religious movements, the
opportunist Communists and the
fellow-travelers who shared the
anti Western : outlook of the
Brotherhood.
Has this the impossible hap
pened? Has the Mutt become a
Communist after being a Nazi?
The answer is no. The Mutt has
just changed his partners. His
objective is the Same-the con-
quest of the Arab world. That
this is his great hope is shown
by the fact that in one of his
conversations with Hitler in his
diary, confiscated by the Allies,
Hitler was recorded as saying
the following to the Multi: 'The
hour will strike when you will
be the lord of the supreme word
and not only the conveyor of our
declarations. You will be the
man to- direct the Arab force,
and at the moment I can then
we'll imagine what will happen
to the Western peoples"
The Jewish Observer and Mid
die East Review states: "He has
never given up his hatred and
opposition to the Jews and to Is
rael, to the British and British
influence in the Middle East.
ut is therefore not surprising
that this link up of the ex-Mufti
and the new regime in Egypt has
disturbed and distressed those
who closely watch Middle East
ern politics. 1t is seen as an
omen and not as a good
one"

1888. the Mufti had provided 5000
lbs. from Nazi funds to provide
the first armed units of the
Brotherhood.
In the late spring of this year,
the Army movements again felt
the need for wider popular sup
port. 1t had to face many in
ternal difficulties. Once again
the Mutt was there with his
counsel.

Shad Mohanna, came to the cen

time, was touring Pakistan.

said:
To our returned comrades in
arms: It is with the deepest
relief and joy that I welcome
you back. Throughout the long
months Of your Imprisonment,
throughout the times we knew
were grim and painful, you were
much in our minds and hearts.
No less so are you now that you
| are where at last we can express
our sentiments through care and
| assistance.
For your loved ones, your free
dom is the fulf1llment of fervent
prayers. No one appreciates
more than I do how eager and
impatient they are to have you
restored to them. I assure you
and I assure them that it is my
resolute intention to have you
back home, in good health and
in good spirits, just as fast as
possible.
I know that you carry with
you concern for those who re-
main in the enemy's hands. We
are striving to arrange for their
speedy release.
Because of the heavy personal
sacrifices you have made in our
great cause, we are humble in
your presence. I am confident
you never will have reason to
doubt that those sacrifices have
our respect and gratitude.

Letter From American POW

the part of the various medical
personnel with which I came in
contact. This fact is especially
ironic when I think of the rather
icy reception my case received
by the United States Army just
prior to my capture. My condi-
ton was diagnosed as tuberculo-
sis and during the period of my
illness I received innumerable
quantities of the following drugs
-penicillin, streptomycin. I've
had X-ray and Horoscope exam
nations. various laboratory tests,
several lung taps, and most i'm
portant the long rest period re-
quired for recovery from this
disease. My condition was very
serious at one time and the doc
tors were a little dubious about
the eventual outcome but now I
car happily say that I feel very
fit, have gained considerable
weight and am possessed with a
voracious appetite.
The message that the boys re-
naming in the POW camps want
most to be delivered is their fer
vent desire for peace. Again and
again as we shook hands and said
farewell they repeated almost
exactly these same few words,
tell the people back in the
States that we want to go home. -
