Pell Reveals U.S.
Officials Opposed
Punishing Nazis
WASHINGTON ( WNS ) —Her-
berg Cailborne Pell, American
representative on the United Na-
tions War Crimes Commission,
declared this week that he had
been prevented from continuing
his work because there are ele-
ments in the State Department
opposed to the United States tak-
ing responsibility for the punish-
ment of Nazi crimes against the
Jews of Germany.
"I know it wasn't the White
House that was dissatisfied," said
Mr. Pell. "The question of funds
for continuing the work was not
mentioned during my talk with
President Roosevelt last month,
and the President's statements
on Nazi crimes against Jews in-
side Germany speak for them-
selves.
"There obviously was dissatis-
faction somewhere. But what in-
spired the House committee to
throw out the appropriation I
don't know.
"I have advocated serious
punishment of large numbers
of persons responsible for
atrocities. I have been drop-
from, the Commissio-
ped
manifestly, because somewhere
there was dissatisfaction with
my work. The thing I worked
at most was the prosecution of
those who persecuted people
in Germany on grounds of race
and religion.
"In spite of international
law. I believe this persecution
to be a crime against human-
ity. I believe it should be pun-
ished for a great many rea-
sons, one of which is that the
persecution of minorities is the
easiest method of founding a
tyrannical and lawless govern-
ment."

Romania May Grant
Jews Minority Status
BUCHAREST (WNS) — Ghita
Pop, Romanian minister for re-
ligious affairs, announced this
week that the Romanian Govern-
ment was prepared to restore
the minority status to the Jews
of Romania providing that all
the Jewish political parties in the
country would unite in demand-
ing such a move.
At present the Jews in Ro-
mania are not considered a min-
ority, but Romanians of the
Mosaic faith. Before the war the
Jews in Romania held the status
of a national minority by virtue
of international pacts.
The minister for religious af-
fairs also announced that his
government was prepared to in-
troduce a special tax on Jews
for the purpose of maintaining
Jewish institutions if the Jewish
communities in the country would
ask for the introduction of such
a measure.
Among the persons to be tried
as war criminals, under a de-
cree signed this week by King
Michael of Romania, is Dr. M.
Gingold, former head of the Cen-
tral Jewish Council. The council
was established by the anti-Sem-
itic and pro-Nazi Antonescu re-
gime to act as a liaison between
the Jews and the Romanian and
German authorities.
Red Cross Aids
L. A. Sanatorium
LOS ANGELES—The war, dis-
tant as it may seem from the
isolation of a tuberculosis sana-
torium, touches as intimately
upon the lives of patients there
as it does on the life of every
other American citizen.
Proof of this contention lies
in a recent report from the Soc-
ial Service Department of the
Los Angeles Sanatorium at
Duarte, Cal., referring to coop-
eration afforded the free, na-
tional and non-sectarian institu-
tion by the American Red Cross.
"Almost every patient has
some loved one in the armed
services," the report states, "and
we are in frequent touch with
the local branch of the Red
Cross about these cases."
The report concludes that the
armed services, when reached
through the Red Cross, follow
the Sanatorium's recommenda-
tions uniformly.
