August II, 1944 DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and The Legal Chronicle AMERICAN JEWISH CONGRESS BUREAU TRACES REFUGEE JEWS IN LIBERATED AREAS Jews of Chicago and the mid- west region are now able to trace their refugee relatives in liber- ated areas of Europe through a special service provided by the Chicago Division of the American Jewish Congress. What is virtually an "inter- national bureau of missing per- sons has been set up by the Con- gress office under the direction of Frederick C. White, executive director of the Chicago Division in its headquarters at 8 South Dearborn St. There, scores of m en and women daily pore over bound files of mimeographed names sent out from Moscow, in hopes of finding out about their unfortunate relatives who be- came the first victims of Nazi terror in Romania, Poland, Lith- uania, Latvia and Estonia. To date more than 300 Chicago Jews are happier, because at last they have located their long-lost relatives, who are alive and safe in Russia. The Congress office in Chicago receives the names of 2,000 such Intergovernmental Comm. on Refugees to Meet LONDON (WNS) — The first plenary session of the Inter- governmental Committee on Ref- agees since its reorganization will be held here this month. It is believed in well informed cir- cles that the conference was spurred by the mounting possi- bilities of accomplishing the res- cue of the Jews in Hungary and in other countries in Nazi-occu- pied Europe. The session may devote a good deal of its time to exploring possibilities of res- cuing the children in Hungary whom Regent Horthy offered to release if visas can be obtained for them to reception countries. Jews each month from the Jew- ish Community Council of Mos- cow, which cooperates with the Worid and American Jewish Con- gresses in helping American Jews to become reunited with loved ones. Requests for information from communities outside Chicago are handled through the office of the Midwest Region of the American Jewish Congress and should be addressed to the regional direct- or, Rabbi Asher T. Katz, 8 South Dearborn St. In writing for this service, vital facts should be stated, including the name, age, occupation, place of birth, and last known address, to facilitate identification. Labor Party Triumphs in Palestine Jewish Assembly Elections JERUSALEM (WNS) — Of the approximately 200,000 per- sons who voted in the elections this week to the Assefath Haniv- charim, the Jewish National As- sembly of Palestine, 42 per cent cast their ballots for the Pales- tine Labor Party, according to early tabulatons. Thirteen years ago, the last time elections were held to the Assembly, only 56 per cent of the persons entitled to vote went to the polls, while this week more than 72 per cent of the entitled voters cast their ballots. Early election counts indicate that the Labor Party will get 65 seats in the Assembly, the Mizrachi and its labor branch, Hapoel Hamizrachi, 24 seats, Aliyah Chadassah, 18 seats, the Labor Unity Party, 12 seats, Zionist Group "A," 5 seats, Ha- zioni 7 seats and the Women's Zionist Organization 4 seats.

To Unearth Jewish Literary and Artistic Treasures in Vilna MOSCOW (WNS)--The story of how a number of Jews who remained in Vilna under its Nazi occupation saved rare Jewish manuscripts, artistic treasures, paintings and incunabula by burying them under the ground, was told here this week by the Yiddish poet Abraham Sutskever. Mr. Sutskever, who spent more than two years in the Vilna ghetto, disclosed that when he and several other Jews were forced by the Germans to work in the libraries and museums they were looting they conceived of a elan to save as many of the Jewish treasures as possible. The plan was a dangerous one. To be caught meant one's life. Bw the fearless group, he said, used every opportunity to steal what- ever manuscripts, letters, paint- ings, antiques, rare books and other useful literary and cultural paraphernalia they could lay their hands on. These they hid under the ground in and around Vilna, and to make sure they would recognize the places they marked them. On one occasion they stole three trunkloads of loot from the Smolensk museum. The loot was loaded at the rail- way station in Vilna. Mr. Sutskever is expected to return soon to Vilna, where with the aid of Russian officials, he will unearth all the hidden treas- ures. Pro-Zionist Planks in Platforms of U.S. Political Parties Worry Arabs CAIRO (WNS) — Much con- cern is expressed in Arab cir- cles here over the inclusion in the platforms of the Democratic and Republican parties in the United States of planks favoring the establishment of a Jewish commonwealth in Palestine. Some Arab leaders, who are here in connection with the forth- coming pan-Arab unity confer- ence in Alexandria, have private- ly expressed the opinion that the inclusion of pro-Zionist planks in the platforms of the two maj- or political parties have virtually blasted all Arab hopes. Al Ahar- am, one of the leading newspap- ers here, this week carried an editorial charging the Jews in America had coerced the politi- cal parties into adopting Jewish Pro-Palestine demands. "T h e Democrats and the Republicans in the United States," it said, "are now competing with each other in praclaiming their sup- port for Zionism." 11 Hillel Foundations Cancel Leadership Training Institute CHAMPAIGN, ILL.—The first national Bnai Brith Hillel Lead- ership Training Institute, which was to have been held at Camp Onibar on Lake Como, Wayne County, Pa., from Sept. 1-10, has been cancelled in compliance with the request of the Office of De- fense Transportation to make available all possible transporta- tion facilities for war purposes, it was announced by Dr. A. L. Sachar, national director of the Bnai Brith Hillel Foundations. The Institute was to have brought together Hillel directors, students, both Christian and Jew- ish, as well its leading Jewish thinkers for 10 days of consid- eration of the manifold problems facing the Jewish community in general and college students in particular. Plans for the Insti- tute have not been dropped be- cause it is expected the Institute may be held in the spring if transportation difficulties ease up. Jewish Industrialist in Bolivia Feared Kidnapped BUENOS AIRES (WNS)—The mysterious disappearance last week in Bolivia of Maurice Hoch- schild, wealthy Argentine indus- trialist, has all the earmarks of a kidnapping, it was announced by the Argentine Foreign Minis- try following the receipts of offi- cial information from the police prefect of La Paz, Bolivia. The 62-year-old Hochschild is an Argentine citizen of German origin. He settled in Bolivia in 1923, where he owns large tin, zinc and wolfram mines. On the day he disappeared he was to have gotten a passport to Chili. But he never reached the Chil- ean consulate. His private auto- mobile was found empty near the home of the Chilean com- mercial attache. Three months ago Hochschild was arrested in Bolivia on charges of heading a plot to overthrow Villaroel's Government. After being held by the police for one month, he was released when it was established that he was inno- cent.
