JDC Head. Visions Movement
Out of Camps Throughout Europe

PARIS (JTA)—Thousands of European Jews are on
the move and the displaced Jews in Germany, Austria and
Italy may soon start an unorganized movement out of the
camps, Moses A. Leavitt, executive vice-president of the
Joint Distribution Committke, stated prior to his departure
for the United States. He has just completed a tour of

a

eight countries in Western and
Central Europie.
As present, he said, the three
countries in which the movement
of Jews is most evident are
Austria, France and Italy. Into
Austria, he declared, are coming
thousands of Romanian Jews
fleeing starvation. The Army
and UNRRA have refused them
assistance and the JDC is car-
rying the burden itself, Leavitt
said.
Approximately 1,500 Jews en-
ter France monthly, he reported.
The French government's atti-
tude is sympathetic, particularly
toward the Jewish children, he
stressed. A like number are
entering Italy every month, and
when UNRRA is liquidated at
the end of this month the JDC
will be the sole source of relief
for them, Leavitt asserted.
He disclosed that the largest
JDC program in Europe is be-
ing carried out in Hungary.
The government, he continued,
desires to eradicate anti-Semit-
ism in the country and aid the
surviving Jews.
In summation, he pointed out
that the JDC was not a govern-
mental agency and could not
continue to carry the weight of
the entire relief problem and
that the International Refugee
Organization must set its activ-
ities into motion quickly and on
a large scale. Ile concluded that
the only hope for the displaced
Jews lay with the UN inquiry
committee on Palestine.

Pogrom is Averted
in Slovak Town

11)

PRAGUE (WNS) — The Jew-
ish residents of the Slovakian
town of Nove Zamky narrowly
escaped a pogrom last week.
A nine-year-old girl com-
plained to her school teacher
that she had been assaulted by
a Jew. Instead of calling in
the police, the teacher decided
to search for the alleged at-
tacker in a home for indigent
Jews.
As she walked toward the
Jewish home, followed by the
entire class, a rumor spread that
a Christian child had been mur-
dered by a Jew. Immediately
an angry mob gathered and
threatened to join the search
for the sought man. However,
after police interference, the mob
dissolved.
On the next day, the rumor
still had it that three Christian
children had been murdered by
Jews. Again there was a gath-
ering of an angry mob. The po-
lice scattered the mob, assuring
its leaders that the rumors were
unfounded.
Meanwhile the Jewish resi-
dents of the town were living
in fear of attack. No Jew dared
enter a public place, and few
were seen on the streets or mar-
ket place. On the following day,
the girl admitted, under ques-
tioning, that a strange man had
persuaded her to spread a report
that she had been attacked by
a Jew.

Emigre Jews Urge
Restitution Laws

LONDON (JTA) —Action to
restore to German Jews prop-
erty stripped from them by the
Nazis and pensions granted them
by pre-Hitler governments was
among the demands voiced here
in a series of resolutions adopted
at the closing session of the

first world conference of the
Council for the Protection of
Jews from Germany. The coun-
cil consists of representatives of
emigre Jews from 16 countries
in Europe, Asia and the Ameri-
cas.
The resolutions included a de-
mand that the 200,000 Jews still
in Germany be enabled to re-
build their lives and that those
who wish to enter Palestine be
allowed to go there. The con-
ference denounced the "intoler-
able state of affairs" which al-
lows Germans to hold unlaw-
fully property taken from Jews,
and urged early promulgation
by the Allied Control Council
of a restitution law, a draft
of which has been prepared for
the American zone.
The delegates called for re-
sumption of payment of pen-
sions and annuities to German
Jews living abroad, the use of
heirless Jewish property.for re-
settlement of Jews under Jewish
auspices and full representation
on any body formed for that
purpose. They also asked that
property abroad belonging to
German Jews be exempt from
enemy property controls.

Canada Set to Adnut
1,000 Jewish' Orphans

MONTREAL (JTA)—Although
the Canadian government has
granted permission for the ad-
mission of 1,000 European Jew-
ish war orphans, only 150 chil-
dren are available for imme-
diate entry, according to reports
received here by the Canadian
Jewish Congress.
This information was made
public here at the first meeting
of the Eastern Region Dominion
Council held under the chair-
manship of Monroe Abbey. The
meeting discussed the antici-
pated movement of a number of
displaced Jews who are to be
admitted to Canada and other
aspects of the immigration prob-
