President Roosevelt told Stain
that he was Zionist and asked if
Stain was one. Stain replied that
he was one in principle but he
recognized the difficulty. The ex-
change of these remarks was pre-
coded by statement by President
Roosevelt telling Stain that he
had three kings waiting for him
in the Near East, including Ibn
Saud.
Stain said that the Jewish
problem was very difficult one.
that they had tried to establish a
national home for the Jews in
Birobidzhan but that the Jews had
only stayed there two or three
years and then scattered to the
cities. He said that the Jews were
natural traders but much had
been accomplished by putting
small groups in some agricultural
areas.
(The New York Times said it
was not entirely clear from the
text as released why Stain began
talking about the Jewish problem.
"a line of asterisks preceding Sta
Inns statement seems to raise the
possibility that one of Stains
high-level colleagues may have
initiated the discussion of Jews
with a statement that has been
censored from the published text"
the Times said.)
During the same dinner-meeting
which took place on February
l0-President Roosevelt said that
he recalled that there had been an
organization in the United States
called the Ku Klux Khan that had
hated the Catholics and the Jews.
and once when he had been on a
visit TO a small town in the South
he had been the guest of the presi-
dent of the local Chamber of
Commerce. He had sat next TO an
Italian on one side and a Jew on
the other and had asked the presi-
dent of the Chamber Of Commerce
whether they were members of
the Ku Klux Khan. TO which the
president replied that they were.
but that they were considered all
right since everyone in the COM
munity knew them.

Abraham ]. Harris, former U. S.
Assistant Attorney General, testi-
flying for the American Jewish
Committee, told the Senate Sub
committee on Reorganization that
his organization endorsed legisla-
ton calling for a Commission on
Government Security, consisting
of two Senators, two House men,
bers, two representatives from the
Executive branch, and six persons
from private life.
Mr.. Harris submitted as one OF
the major areas for the proposed
commissions concern, this ques-
ton: ITO what extent has the use
of secret information, protected
witnesses, and lack of confronta-
ton and cross examination contri-
buted to the appearance of racial
bigotry or religious bias and pre-
iudice in charges made by con-
cealed informants?" He enumer-
ated other problems which call for
the attention of a Commission on
Government Security.
Possibility of Anti-Semitic
Motives of Accusers Cited
Will Maslow, on behalf of the
American Jewish Congress, called
for re-assessment of the security
loyalty program and backed the
proposal for joint Congressional
inquiry commission, MIR. Maslow
reviewed the Chasanow, Fl. Mon
mouth and Ladejinsky cases and
charged that the security program
facilitated the operation of anti
Semitism and other prejudices at
various levels.

President Roosevelt remarked
that it was a good illustration of
how difficult it was to have any
prejudices, racial, religious or
otherwise if you really knew peo-
pie. Marshal Stain said he felt
that this was very true.
U. S. Urged to Discuss With
Stain the Nazi Murder of Jews
Pre-conference documents pub
ished along with the Yalta rec
ords revealed that Judge Samuel
Rosenman of New York, one of
President Roosevelt's closest ad-
viSors, had been assigned key
role in consideration of the ques-
ton of Furnishing German war
criminals and the problem of at
tempting to save the Jews in
Europe from mass determination.
Judge Rosenman was assigned to
work out the Departments of JUS
tice and State on these two issues.
The documents also disclosed
that ]. w. Pehle, executive direc-
tor of the War Refugee Board. had
advised Secretary Of State Edward
Stettinius a month before the
Yalta conference that recently
the War Refugee Board had re-
ceived several urgent requests
from Jewish organizations in this
country for the issuance Of Uni
ted Nations warning to the Ger
man Government and the German
people against further extermina-
ton and other forms of persecu-
ton of Jews in Germany and Ger
man-occupied territory.
"It occurs to me-" Mr.. Pehle
wrote, "that, if you find it FEAST
BILE to do so, this matter might be
raised by you at the conference.
AS you know, we have never been
able to get the Russians to join
us in any of our past statements.
other than the Moscow statement
on atrocities issued on November
l, 1913. It is my feeling that if a
new warning to the Germans
were issued by President Roose-
welt, Mr.. Churchill and Marshal
Stain, it might have a marked eff
feet, particularly at this stage OF
the war;"
Alternative suggested drafts
were enclosed in the Pehle letter.
In one draft it was said that
there are indications that Ger
man troops and officials. previous
to retreating. prepare TO extermi-
nate large numbers of local in
habitants and Of Jewish deportees
and internees in the territories
still occupied by Germany. and
that they prepare TO extend this
policy of mass determination"
The State Department legal adj
visor, Green Hackworth, trans
mitted memorandum to the
White House on Jan. 20, 1915 out
lining suggestions for the trial and
punishment of Nazi war criminals.
The memorandum included the
Pehle proposals for a United Ma
tons warning to the Nazis on the
treatment of Jews in Germany
and German-occupied countries.

PLAIN TALK
BY ALFRED SEGAL

stead of using our regular column,
plain Talk. by Alfred Segal, we
are printing Martin Silver's article
ABOUT Mr.. Segal, which we think
will interest our readers.)
PREACHER AND HIS PULPIT
BY Martin Silver
Some years ago this writer at
tended a college debate whose
theme was whether competition
or cooperation provided the better
spur. for social advancement. The
team defending the competition
thesis appeared TO be at a dis
advantage and rapidly found itself
in the position Of pugilist who
realizes he must win the fight
with one desperate flourish if he
was to escape the ignominY of de-
feat. Just as the clock was ticking
off the last seconds of the allotted
time. the young man who was de-
Tending the unpopular point of
view summoned bit Of resource
fulness that brought plaudits from
an apparently unfriendlY audi
ence. How long do you think you
can stand loving your fellow man
twenty four hours a daY?" he ask
ed triumphantlY as he inched
longinglY toward the beckoning
chair.
We had no answer to that ques-
ton that day-but we have it
now. The answer is, Forever, if
you're Alfred Segal."
Al Segal. who is known to tens
of thousands of readers of the
Anglo-Jewish press throughout
the country through his Plain
Talk column. sYndicated by the
Seven Arts Feature Syndicate. has
been getting a good deal Of ma
fional attention of late. He re-
Gently won an award from the Ma
tional Conference of Christians
and Jews for his Yeoman work in
brotherhood efforts. That touched
off a whole series Of other honors.
The Cincinnati Post. where his
scintillating column "Cincinnatus"
has been running with mounting
success for the past thirtY-four
years. honorsd AL with a gold
watch bearing the inscription To
AL. the Conscience of Cincinnati.
the Newspaper Guild threw a
party to honor his golden jubilee
in newspaper work and two. ma
tional magazines. Time and Editor
& Publisher. gave him glowing
write-ups.
We couldn't help wondering a
little how he must have felt at all
this, He is not much given to pub
lie display and he comes as close
to making humility full-time
job as any man can. He breaches
from a very public pulpit. it is
true, but that attention is always
very deity focused on the thing
preached. and not the preacher.
The reference TO preachers IS
very much TO the point. for Segal
originally was intended for the
rabbinate. He was just out OF the
Hebrew Union College when he
got his first newspaper job. and
turned 70 the wider congregation
the newsprint pulpit could preach.
He has been very successful at
that preaching career, and one OF
his most cherished souvenirs is q
letter from a Protestant clergy
man. which said. II envy you. Al

Russia Denies
'6-MiIIion Force

LONDON. Aug. 10 GA
Soviet spokesman today de-
nounced as false a British esti-
mate that Russia and her
satellites have six million men
under arms-hut he didn't say
what the correct figure is.
An article by M. Mikhailov In
the Soviet government news
paper Izvestia, quoted by Moscow
Radio. commented on the re-
action of the British Foreign
ONCE to last weeks announce
ment that the Soviet Union Is
cutting its armed forces by
$40. 900 men.
The Foreign Once said 1t was
difficult to judge what such a
reduction would mean since the
Soviet Union had never disclosed
its total armed strength. The
British statement added that
Red forces ARE estimated al
some 4.750.000 with a further
l $4,000 in the satellite forces. y
. Mikhailov asserted such a pro-
nouncement could be "charac-
terized as a new outbreak in the
cold war" and added:
IAN these tendentious reports
pursue one end--to lessen the
impression produced by a new
peaceful act of the Soviet gov
eminent.
Attempts to misrepresent the
numerical strength Of the Soviet
armed forces are, to say the
least of it. strange and contrary
to a spirit of international CO.
operation"
However. Mikhailov didn't give
any figures on the Soviet armed
forces.

DESEGREGATION

NEW ORLEANS - (ANP) -
There is gold in them there seq
regation hills. That was proven
last week when the terms for
payment to Atty. Gerard A. Rault,
retained to fight anti-segregation
suits, were revealed.
Rault is to receive a fee of
$25, 900 and in addition is to re-
ceive $3.50 for each day spent in
court and the same amount for
time he spends out of the city
on the case, plus expenses.
The fee is to be paid by the
state and city. The state will pay
out of funds taken from taxes
collected from the public, includ-
ing Negroes. A suit is expected
to be filed asking for an in
junction against the states use of
these funds.
In the meantime New Orleans
had done nothing to integrate its
schools.
