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. Every Bond You Buy Helps to Shorten the War.
