ALBERT H. BROWN
of the Detroit District in be-
half of the Polish refugees, left
Detroit for Florida, where he
will spend the Passover holidays
at the Nash Hotel in Miami
Beach.
Mr. Brown, who is the son of
Rabbi Morris Brown of New York
was invited by the proprietors
of the Nash Hotel to officiate at
the Sedorim.
At a farewell party, which
took place in the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Morris Weinberg, the
president of the Detroit District,
Morris Mohr, praised the work
of the director and expressed
the hope that Mr. Brown will
return to Detroit, to remain per-
manently, and that he will con-
tinue to direct the work of the
Detroit district in helping to
bring about a strong militant
organization of Polish Jews in
this city.
Jacob Kahan, vice-president of
the organization, presented a gift
in the name of a group of friends
to the guest of the evening as a
token of appreciation of Mr.
Brown's work for stricken Pol-
ish Jewry.
Mr. Brown, who is vice-presi-
dent of the Federation of Polish
Jews in America, was active as
a volunteer in the Federation for
the last 12 years. For the past
20 months he was engaged as
field director for the Mid-western
states.
The office of the Polish Federa-
tion, 9124 Linwood, is continuing
activities, and plans for the fifth
yearly conference, which will take
place in May, are already in pro-
gress. For information call Ty-
ler 4-5913.

A feature of the evening wil!

The speeches of Alexander A.
Liveright, the moderator of the

deprived approximately 250,000
Jews in Rumanis of their citi-
zenship rights.
The Supreme Court decision
was handed down in the case of
a former Jewish citizen who had
been denationalized. The decis-
ion held that neither the Citi-
zenship Revision Law or subse-
quent legislation conflicted with
the Constitutional guarantee of
equality of rights.
The decision was of paramount
importance to Rumanian Jewry
because denationalized Jews were
classified as aliens and subjected
to a special tax. These Jews were
denied the right to practice their
professions, and in many cases,
to seek employment.
The Citizenship Revision Law
was adopted during the violently
anti-Semitic Goga administration
and was later confirmed by Royal
Decree. The law has been termed
a flagrant violation of the minor-
ities treaties and an appeal was
made to the League of Nations
at Geneva.
A Committee of Three was au-
thorized by the League Council
to report on the question, but
no action has been taken to date.
It is the contention of the Ru-
manian Government that Jews
were not covered by the 1919
rninoities treaties.
Christia n Front Defendant Ends
Life By Hanging; Police
Investigate
NEW YORK (WNS) — Claus
Gunther Ernecke, one of the 17
Christian Fronters standing trial
in Brooklyn Federal Court charg-
ed with plotting to overthrow
the United States Government,
was found dead in the cellar of
an apartment house two blocks
from his own home.
Police and medical examiners
attributed the death to "suicidal
strangulation." Though the au-
topsy revealed no indication of
murder, the police homicide bu-
reau was assigned to investigate
the death because of reports
and statements by friends that
Ernecke had been murdered.
Lee M. Healy, attorney for
the Front defendants, made the
Mr. Kaplan, who has been a
liberal contributor
to many
causes and a very observant Jew,
was a member of one
of Detroit's
pioneer Jewish families.
He had
been active in many movements,
and was a member of Congrega.
tion Shaarey Zedek, the Zionist
Organization, Mizrachi, United
Hebrew Schools and a great many
other movements and organiza-
tions.
following statement:
"I hope
Denis Healy is satisfied now.
This act, if committed by Er.
necke, is not an evidence of
guilt, but of a broken heart.
That a friend such as he con-
sidered Denis Healy to be should
do what he did to him!"
Denis Healy, star prosecution
witness, testified that he had
joined the conspiracy in order to
obtain evidence which he turned
over to the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. While on the
stand, Mr. Healy testified that
the Christian Frontters were ga-
thering weapons and waiting for
the "Jewish revolution" and sub-
sequent
counter-revolution with
the Christian Front in command
of the country.
Healy testified at great length
about anti-Semitic literature that
he had seen at gatherings of
the defendants and also told of
seeing obscene books. A copy of
the "Protocol of the Elders of
Zion," which has been proven a
forgery countless times, was put
into evidence by the defense law-
yers after Healy said that he had
seen it at a meeting.
Healy testified also that the
Christian Fronters frequently dis-
cussed the Talmud at their meet-
ings. The defense tried to gain
an admission from the Govern-
ment witness that the Christian
Fronters were anti-Communist.
but Healy insisted that they were
equally anti-Semitic.
Brig. Gen. Alexander E. An-
derson, commanding offices of
the 93d Infantry Brigade, New
York National Guard, and Lieut.
Col. Martin H. Meaney, National
Guard officer and fifth deputy po-
lice commissioner, who were ac-
cused by Healy of serving on the
Action Committee of the plotters,
repudiated the testimony and re-
quested an opportunity to enter
their denials in the trial record.

possibility of colonizing Jewish
refugees from Nazi-occupied ter-
ritories in Alaska was voiced by
Secretary of Interior Harold L.
Ickes in an address accepting
the Louis D. Brandeis Medal,

Forum.
