LONDON, (JTA)—Jewish circles here report that
Dr. Chaim Weizmann raised the possibility of his resig
nation in a discussion between the Zionist leader ant
Colonial Secretary George Hall that paved the way for*
the resumption of 'informal negotiations.
They pointed out that Dr. Weizmann told Hall that
NUERNBERG, (JTA) — In announcing the verdict
of guilty against the 21 top Nazi defendants here, the In-
ternational War Crimes tribunal cited "the consistent and
systematic inhumanity on the greatest scale" carried on
by the Nazis against the Jewish people, resulting in the
extermination of 6,000,000 Jews.

"From the earliest days of the
Nazi party, anti-Semitism occu-
pied a prominent place in Na-
tional Socialist thought and propa-
ganda," the tribunal asserted.
Reviewing the type of activity
carried on against the Jews, it
called attention to business boy-
cotts, the elimination of Jews
from various professions, depriva-
tion of citizenship by the Nern-
berg laws, confiscation of proper-
ty, and, constant beatings and ter-
rorism culminating in mass exter-
mination in concentration camps.
The court specifically mentioned
Europe, including Rovnow and
massacres in villages of eastern
Dubno, and quoted the command-
ant - of the death camp at Ausch-
witz as admitting the extermina-
tion of 3,000,000 between May,
1940, and December, 1943.
Listing the tortures and inhu-
man experiments at the concen-
tration camps, the tribunal refer-
red to the statement by Hans
Frank, Nazi gauletier in Poland,
wherein he said, referring to the
Nazi anti-Semitic persecution, "A
thousand years will pass, and this
guilt of Germany will still not be
erased."
By ruling that certain organiza-
tions such as the Nazi SS and the
Security Corps were guilty, the
court was seen preparing the way
for punishing the key groups that
carried out anti-Semitic acts.

Palestine-Bound Jews
Halted by Russians
VIENNA, (JTA) — Varying ex-
planations were given here this
week for the Russian order that
no further transports of Pales-
tine-bound Jews from eastern Eu-
rope would be permitted to pass
through the Soviet zone in Aus-
tria.
The Soviet move is reported mo-
tivated by the belief that the con.
tinued presence of Jews in Poland
will aid in the democratic recon-
struction of the country and by
the fact that among the refugees
have been some who are now Rus-
sian citizens and consequently not
authorized to emigrate.
It was learned that the Russian
authorities in Prague have also
asked that the Polish-Czech bor-
ders remaVa closed to fleeing Jews.
Israel IlimAhoch, leading Detroit
merchant and community worker,
celebrated his GOth birthday Wed-
nesday. Born in Caro, Mich., Him-
elhoch was graduated from Cass
High School, Detroit; Alma Col-
lege (A.B., 1907) and Harvard
(LL.B., 1910). Ile practiced law in
New York before returning to De-
troit, where he rose quickly in
business and community ranks.

since he was caught between the
seemingly uncompromising stands
of the Jewish Agency leaders in
Palestine and the British gov-

resign. However, he soon dropped
this threat, making it possible for
an agreement to be reached.
T h e Anglo-Jewish Association
made clear this week that it is
prepared to join the Palestine Con-
ference at any time it feels its
participation could be helpful in
reaching some solution.
A meeting of the association in-
dorsed the position of its execu-
tive committee, which was out-
lined by Leonard Stein, chairman.
Stein criticized the Jewish Agen-
cy for its refusal to join in the
conference and said that the asso-

any stage where it can be of ser-
