Scored by Jewish Aide for Statement
Poland, Not Bavaria, Is Responsible

MUNICH (WNS)—Karl Scharnagl, mayor of Mu-
nich, declared this week that the displaced Jews in Ba-
varia were not victims of the Nazis but of Poland and
as such were not the responsibility of the Bavarian gov-
ernment.
Dr. Philip Auerbach, commissioner for Jewish affairs

in the Bavarian government,
sharply attacked this declaration
by pointing out that the Nazis
were the original oppressors of the
Jews and had instilled active anti-
Semitic hatred in every occupied
country in Europe.
At the same time Dr. Auerbach
demanded an investigation of
Scharnagl's return of a country
estate to Ludwig Angerer, a for-
mer privileged member of the Nazi
Party. He charged that the official
explanation, which claimed the re-
turn of the estate would facilitate
its use as a German government
reception house, was merely a pre-
text.
In the meantime, Jewish leaders
are probing the arrest of 80 dis-
placed Jews on black market
charges in the Unlanen Caserne of
Bamberg.
One man, charged with harbor-
ing dangerous weapons, was freed
when it was discovered that he
had in his possession only a Boy
Scout knife. Forty other DP's were
released when proof was presented
by Jewish voluntary relief agen-
cies that goods in their possession
were supplied by the Army and
UNRRA.

Austrian Chancellor
Invites Jews Back

VIENNA (JTA) — An indirect
appeal to Austrian Jews to return
to this country was made this
week by Chancellor Leopold Figl.
"On the question of the return
of formerly emigrated Jews, I can
only repeat that I naturally wel-
come it and will be happy if good
Austrians take it upon themselves
to come back to the heavily bur-
dened fatherland and take a posi-
tive, active part in the difficult
reconstruction of Austria," he said.
"The best proof of Austria's at-
titude on the Jewish question is
that the Jews who fled to Austria
from a number of European states
and resided here as displaced per-
sons now seek to obtain Austrian
citizenship," the chancellor as-
serted.
Figi contradicted reports abroad,
which also figured in the most re-
cent meeting of the Vienna Jew-
ish Council, that Austria is still
anti-Semitic and that the Austrian
government had been slow and
hesitant in undertaking the resti-
tution of property which the Nazis
stole from the Jews.
(According to figures recently
issued by the Jewish Community
Council only 35 Jewish-owned
homes have been returned of the
1,000 for which application has
been made. There were 65,000 Jew-
ish-owned homes and apartments
in Vienna before the Anschluss.)

2 Jewish Candidates
Elected in Romania

BUCHAREST (JTA) —Dr. Ed-
ward Manulescu, vice-president of
the Union of Romanian Jews and
Anghel Dascalu, of the Jewish
Democratic Committee, two of the
three candidates running specific-
ally on a Jewish slate, were elected
in last week's Romanian national
elections.
The law restoring Jews to citi-
zenship status lost through dis-
criminatory legislation during the
Nazi regime or through territorial
changes has not yet been Issued,
but the ministry of justice has ex-
empted from registration as aliens

U.S. Denies Plan -

Deportation Report
Hit by White House

WASHINGTON (JTA)—The im-
migration and naturalization serv-
ice of the Department of Justice
has denied published reports that
it has ordered the deportation to
Europe of 1,800 stateless refugees
now in the United State 2.
"On the contrary," th depart-
ment said, "the Immigration and
naturalization service is doing its
utmost to carry out the humani-
tarian program of President Tru-
man in the entry into the country
and the handling of displaced per-
sons."
Calling attention to the Justice
Departmeht's statement, Charles
G. Ross, White House press sec-
-etary, said that the policy as
otulined is entirely in accord with
the President's program on dis-
placed persons.
STRANDED BY WAR
A considerable number of aliens
admitted to the United States as
temporary visitors were stranded
here at the outbreak of the war,
the department said, and the im-
migration and naturalization serv-
ice permitted "many thousands" to
remain in the country as visitors,
giving them the opportunity of
securing visas as quota immi-
grants in nearby countries and re-
entering the United States for
permanent residence.
"A very large percentage of
these are not political or religious
refugees," the statement said, "as
this figure includes many persons
who had come here for business
or temporary visits and others
such as deserting seamen." They
said 23,000 aliens have availed
themselves of adjustment proced-
ure since 1941.
CAN'T GET VISAS
The department reviewed steps
it has taken to alleviate hardships
resulting from enforced departure
of aliens temporarily here. With
many cases closed by adjustment,
according to tire department, a
small number is left who. "because
of the depletion of quota num-
bers available for nationals of
their country or because of in-
ability to meet other immigration
requirements have been unable to
obtain visas from American con.
suls In Canada or other nearby
countries.
-Circles interested in immigration
policy point out that the state-
ment does not deny previous re-
ports that approximately 1,800 per-
sons have received form letters
from the department informing
them of the necesity of making
other arrangements, since they
were here temporarily.

Lonely War Bride Returns to Mother,
Takes Husband to England with Her

IF DAVID BERMAN, formerly
of 2631 Blaine avenue, should
be struck with homesickness now
that he is living in London, Eng-
land, things will be In pretty much
of a muddle for him and his war
bride.
Berman, a former officer in the
82nd Airborne Division, was get-
ting along fine here with his Eng-
lish bride until postcards of West-
minster Abbey and Parliament
started arriving.
Then Mrs. Berman was struck
with a severe case of nostalgia.
Her father offered Berman a job
managing a London clothing store.
Before he knew it, he and his
wife were on an airplane flying
over the Atlantic.
Berman, an automobile worker,
said his wife should get over her
malady in "a year or so." He did
not, however, say he would return
then.
Mr. and Mrs. Berman were mar-
ried Dec. 6, 1945 in London. The
Detroiter was discharged a month

ago after three years' service.
When the couple hit London, a
chartered bus with 32 of Mrs.
Berman's relatives were on hand
to greet them. Her loneliness was
cured immediately.
