the campaign against Israel was
a move against Malenkov.
Now Malenkov has moved
again and has defeated his op-
ponent. The magazine wonders:
What happens now to the doctors
and the previous anti-Jewish out
bursts? Were these merely the
by-play to the struggle for the
Stain succession? Or will they
appear again in yet another guise
at the trial of Beria?
An earlier Jewish interlude
with Beria, never explained ade-
quately, took place in 1941. Beria
negotiated with the two leaders
of the Polish Bund, Alter and
Erich, for the creation of an all
embracing Jewish Committee"

The popular attitude of the
Spaniards toward converted Jews
provides an interesting sidelight.
Despite all their efforts, the 5000
Marranos of Palma (Majorca)
have never been accepted by the
"old" Catholics as equals. They
were obligated to marry among
their own and to establish a
ghetto" within the Catholic
Church. Even now, these surviv-
ors of the Catholic Inquisition,
nicknamed 'chuetos" (owls) have
their own church, priests, and
only for the last twenty years
have intermarriages between the
"chuetos" and ''old" Catholics
taken place. Significantly, since
the position of the Catholic clergy
was immeasurably strengthened
when Franco came to power, the
old prejudices have been visibly
on the increase.
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1953-09-11

Beria approved the plan early in
October, but no word came from
Stain to whom the Jews had
addressed a personal letter. In
the early hours of December S,
both were arrested by Beria's po-
lice, accused of being Nazi agents,
and shot later that month.
In his short book on Malenkov,
Martin Ebon asserts that the
new Soviet Premier was the
father of the Anti-Zionist policy
in 1949 and that Malenkov was
out of favor in 1947-48 when the
Soviet Union supported the es-
tablishment of Israel.
And now Malenkov has cut
down his rival for power. His
attitude toward the Jews? The
world waits impatiently for the
answer.

BONN, Germany, Aug. 25.-
West Germany's tough old Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer, fighting
for reelection at II, is making
his political opponents squirm
with some campaign methods
borrowed from the United States.
Taking leaf from American
presidential candidates, the
Chancellor is crisscrossing the
nation as a whistle stop" tour
to let millions of German voters
see and hear him.
He's travelling in a bright red
special train replete with all
the trimmings of a United
States presidential special-press
agents, harried advisers, a radio
telephone, bodyguards, teletype
printers and a separate car for
neWSmen.
Covers 1884 Miles.
So far, Mr.. Adenauer has COW
cred 1884 miles. He is going
5000 more before the election
on September 6.
This doesn't count side trips
by automobile. In a baggage car,
the Chancellor carries two
black Mercedes limousines. He
roars off in these on frequent
side jaunts.
Mr.. Adenauer is by far the
oest-known figure in German
politics, and his opponents are

Then, glancing at the ceiling
for a moment, trying to figure
out how the report started, he
broke into a smile and said:
"a few days ago, I walked into
a feed store at Poolesville (Md.)
and some of the farmers were
gathered there complaining
about their prices. I said, Who
did you fellows vote for last
year?'" He said they told him
Eisenhower and then he sug-
geSted they were getting what
they deserved.

Still brisk of movement and

sets pace that exhausts young

makes two or three speeches a
day plus countless other stops
for brief chats or just a bit of
handshaking.
Two Aides Worn Out.
The old man gets up in the
morning long before his entour-
age and works on the speeches
for the day. Generally he talks
off the cuff, even in a major ad-
dress. But he likes to have a
synopsis of what he intends to
say before him.
Along with his campaign tour
Mr.. Adenauer is holding down
three other big jobs-Chancellor

Conflict in Stories

BY the Associated Press

JERSEY CITY. N. j., Aug. IS.
Commissioner Bernard j. Ber-

Fridays Henry (The Dutchman)
Grunewald incident "can be
blamed on the lack of correlation
of police reports"
Mr. Berry made his statement
yesterday after a conference
with Police Chief James Nc

Jersey City police handled the
case as routine matter, not
considering the national prom
inence of Grunewald."
Grunewald, aforementioned fig

46-year-old Mrs. Ann Anderson.
The two were taken to Jersey

Varying Police Accounts.
There were varying police ac-

PeIIa Wins Support
0fParIiamenttoAvert
Rome Crisis Till Fall
By the Assoeiatea Pres.

ROME, Aug. 25.-Italy took a
vacation from political crisis
today with its new government
f1rmly-but temporarily-hacked
by both houses of Parliament.
The regime is pledged to do
nothing about such controversial
questions as European unity,
the European army and land re-
distribution.
Premier Giuseppe Pella, a
Christian Democrat financial
expert and a steady friend of
the West, won a confidence vote
in the Chamber of Deputies last
night by 100 votes.
Previously he had won a de-
cisive victory in the Senate.
Business" Government.
With this hurdle safely passed,
the 51-year-old Pella went to
work to give Italy what he de-
scribed as a business" govern
ment, and the Chamber of Depu-
ties began a months vacation.
Until fall, at any rate, it ap-
peared the nation might enjoy
a semblance of political calm.
Mr.. Pella won the deputies
backing by emphasizing his was
only a temporary government,
pledged not to bring up any
major policy questions. He said
he stepped into the breach
caused by the downfall of for
mer Alcide de Gasperi's eighth
cabinet only to get a new budget
passed and to deal with other
urgent administrative affairs.
Al Deputies Abstain.
His non-po1itical approach
drew far more support than Mr..
de Gasperi could muster in the
unstable Parliament seated after
the June elections. In that bal
loting, the Christian Democrats
garnered more chamber seats
than any other single party but
were short of a majority, while
both left and right increased
their representation at the ex-
pense of smaller center parties.
The chamber backed the Pella
cabinet last night 315-215 with
A deputies abstaining. Three
center parties, the Christian
Democrats, Liberals and Repub-
licans, and the right-wing Mon
archists supported it, while the
Communists and the pro- Moscow
left wing Socialists opposed.
Members of the neo-Fascist
Italian Social Movement (MSD
and the Democratic Socialists
abstained.

First police reports to news
men had the couple together
on a couch, but the official po-
lice version later said this was
wrong. Mr.. Berry said this dis
crepancy arose because police
were not on the scene first.
He said when police arrived at
the apartment they found Grune-
wald lying on a couch and Mrs.
Anderson sitting on the floor
next to the couch. But, Mr..
Berry said, a supplementary re-
port was filed on the basis of
statements taken from the
apartment house superintendent,
Landolino Llaneza. The report
quoted Mr.. Llaneza as saying he
found both reclining on the
couch at first, but then Mrs.
Anderson slipped off. It was Mr..
Llaneza who called police after
another tenant had smelled gas.

who went to the hospital Friday

Asked why he went to the hos

any case where parties are taken
outside of the physical confines
of the court, it is a practice of
the court to visit the hospital

is capable of being released"
He also said the hearing on

Greece May Ask Delay
In NATO War Comes

Recent earthquake disasters

repeatedly have put a crimp in
the nations plans for NATO
military exercises next month

Reliable sources said Greece
may ask postponement of the
war games because of her army

lief work in the stricken islands,
won't have time to prepare for
the maneuverS.
These sources said Greece's
share of the expenses for the
exercises would be about $780,

it could spend the money on
earthquake relief to better ad-
vantage.
If the exercise is not post

Ionian Quake Victims
Fear New Disaster
From Autumn Rains
BY the Asseeiatad Pres,

ARGOSTOLION, Greece, Aug.
Is. - Impending autumn rains
threaten new disaster to .130, 900
earthquake victims on Greece's
three devastated Ionian islands,
American and British rescue Of
f1cers said today.
They warned that only speedy
completion of the Greek govern
ment's temporary housing pro-
gram on the islands of Cepha-
lonia, Zante and Ithaca could
stave off further widespread suf-
fering when the rains begin in
mid-September.
The Athens government an
nounced last week it was pre-
pared to spend about $25 to $50
million in the islands," laid waste
by a series of destructive quakes
that began two weeks ago.
10000 Are Homeless.
The warnings of the possible
new crisis came as Gen. Dimi-
trioS Iatrides, chief of Greek res
cue operations, announced than
an estimated 10000 persons
were homeless after the quake
disaster.
The death toll has not been
officially determined but the
most reliable estimates place it
around 1000. Hundreds of other
persons were injured.
Minor earth tremors have con-
tinued daily since the initial
shocks. Although not strong, the
tremors add to the islanders
fears that big quakes will come
again.
Gen. Iatrides reported that so
per cent of the survivors, or 78,-
600 persons, now were housed in
Ats tents. He declared that
another 5000 tents will take
care of all needs"
The Greek rescue chiefs figure
of those now housed in tents
would mean an average of 10
persons to a tent made to shelter
only eight.
1t. Comdr. Peter Stewart, chief
of British relief work. expressed
doubt, however, that "even 20 per
cent of the population today is
under shelter"

tants of isolated mountain viii
lagos are sleeping out of doors

officers working to repair Ce-
phalonia'S roads said they had
been virtually completely de-
Stroyed" by the tremors. Any
emergency repairs, they added,
won't withstand the first rains"
1t. Joseph A. Sherman of
Portland, Greg, predicted that
scores of mountain villages will
be completely isolated again as
soon as the first rains fall.
The group of Marine construc-
ton specialists will remain on
the islands for another two
weeks in an attempt to at least
partially restore the road net
work.
Greek demolition teams moved
through the wreckage-strewn
streets of towns and villages on
the islands yesterday, removing
bodies from che debris and de-
molishing weakened structures.
