I;uilty Escape Punishment
British Condone Aden Pogrom
LONDON (Special)—The fact
that British officials not only
condone anti-Semitism in others
but that hate permeates the
ranks of British officialdom was
evident from an investigation of
the Aden pogrom.
Sir Harry Trusted, a former
chief justice of Palestine, was
appointed a commission of one
to investigate the pogrom. • His
report is dated April 7, 1948
but was not made public until
about six months later.
This report revealed, among
other things, that on the first
day of the outbreaks, Dec. 2,
1947, "the district commissioner
and a British officer with a num-
ber of Aden Protectorate Levies
(soldiers) toured the streets but
took no apparent steps to stop
the mobs and thereby gave
them encouragement to increase
their attacks," according to the
evidence submitted by Mr. Ba-
nin, chairman of the Jewish
Emergency Committee.
A major event of the Detroit
Chapter of Hadassah will be an
all-day institute Tuesday, Jan.
11, at the Center. Entitled "Gold-
en Treasures," the program will
highlight the heritage of the peo-
ple of Israel in art and literature.
Mrs. Moses P. Epstein, former
Hadassah national president and
its present political chairman,
will be the speaker.
The program will include mov- 'NOT AVAILABLE'
