MRS. BRANDEIS DENIES SPONSORING
AMERICAN LEAGUE FOR A FREE PALESTINE

WASHINGTON (WNS).—Mrs.
Louis -D. Brandeis, widow of the
late United States Supreme Court
Justice and outstanding Zionist
leader, declared last week in an
open letter to Peter Bergson,
head of the Hebrew Committee of
National Liberation, that the
use of her name as a sponsor of
the American League for a free
Palestine was "completely un-
authorized".
"I want to state categorically,"
wrote Mrs. Brandeis, "that I
do not wish my name to be in
any way associated with the
American League of a Free Pal-
estine or with the Hebrew Com-
mittee of National Liberation or
any other group which is not a
part of the recognized World
Zionist Organization and the
Jewish Agency of Palestine". She
stated that such organizations as
the League for a Free Palestine
and the Hebrew Committee "de-
feat the causes they purport to
serve" and that she did "not
wish to be identified with any
of them".

names as sponsors without their
knowledge and without authoriza-
tion.
The 46 rabbis declared that
about a year ago they signed a
proclamation then circulated by
the Committee for a Jewish Army
and that the American League
for a Free Palestine, in reprint-
ing their names in one of ita
recent pamphlets, sought to give
"the impression that those who
endorsed the proclamation also
endorse this new organization
which is announced as another
of the creations of the self-
styled 'Hebrew Committee of
National Liberation,' whose mem-
bership is not named and the
source of whose authority is a
mystery."
Simultaneously it was an-
nounced here by American Jew-
ish Trade Union Committee for
Palestine that it had received a
cable from the Histadruth, the
Jewish Federation of Labor in
Palestine, assailing the "Hebrew
Committee for National Libera-
tion" as a self-constituted body
with "absolutely no authority to
represent the political interests
of the Jewish people or the Pal-
estine Yishuv". The Histadruth
cable stated that political repre-
sentation is vested in the Jewish
Agency and the Vaad Leumi and
that "usurpation of this author-
ity means undermining which is
particularly dangerous at this
time".

46 RABBIS PROTEST

NEW YORK (WNS) .—In
statement denouncing the Ameri-
can League for a Free Palestine
as "a denial of Jewish history
and a perversion of the funda-
mental concept of the unity of
the Jewish people and of Zionist
aims," 46 rabbis here declared
that the League had used their

tion will be held in St. Louis on

en in the near future and in the
postwar world.
All clubs in the following
states have been invited to send
representatives to the confer-
ence: Illinois, Iowa, Indiana,
Missouri, Minnesota, Nebraska,
Oklahoma and Wisconsin. The
Midwestern clubs have grown
considerably in membership and
influence since the last regional
conference held at Chicago in
1939. They have also contributed
generously to the funds raised
on behalf of the enlarged pro-
gram of the Working Women's
Council, of which the Pioneer

a growing demand on the Coun-
cil's training facilities for girls.

are also being continued. Chil-
dren's services, in particular,
have been greatly expanded dur-
ing the war years. The institu-
tions of the Council now serve
over 5,000 children, including
refugees -rescued from the Nazi
death-trap, and the children of
servicemen and working mothers

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Asks
Hungarian People to Stop Murder of Jews

• WASHINGTON (WNS).—The
Senate Foreign Relations Com-
mittee last week called upon the
Hungarian people to stop the
"cold-blooded murder" of Jews
by their puppet government, and
to "watch and remember those
who are accessories to murder
and those who extend mercy"
until the time when guilt and
innocence will be weighed.
The statement, which was
broadcast by the Office of War
Information and relayed to the
continent in several languages
by the American broadcasting
station in Europe and by the
British Broadcasting Corporation,
declared that the people of the
United States are horrified by
the news that Hitler intends to
exxterminate the 800,000 Jews in
Hungary and that it "is unthink-
able" that the people of Hun-
gary "should countenance the
cold-blooded murder of innocent
men, women and children". Fol-
lowing is the text of the state-
ment:
"The people of the United
States and all freedom-loving
people are horrified by the news
that Hitler has designated the
800,000 Jews in Hungary for
death.
"That the people of Hungary
should countenance the cold-
blooded murder of innocent men,
women and children is unthink-
able. Once Hungary was the
haven of tens of thousands who
fled the Nazi terror in other
lands. Once Hungary protected
the helpless who sought refuge
within its borders. Once Hun-
garians shielded their Jewish fel-
low-citizens. But now the Hun-

garian puppet government h a;
joined the Nazis in their ruthless
determination to do away with
the Jews.
"While there is yet time the
people of Hungary can demon-
strate to the world that this un-
holy scheme is a betrayal of the
true Hungarian spirit.
"They can hide the Jew= until
such time as they may help them
to safety across the borders. They
can refuse to purchase pr ,, pt.rty
stolen from the Jews. Thoy can
use every means to obstruct tit ,
Nazis and those Hungarian: w h o
are in league with the Nazis.
They can keep watch and re-
member those who are acce, s,, ri„
to murder and those who extend
mercy, until the time when guilt
and innocence will weigh ht.avily
in the balance. That tim,. is
near."
