STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
Ridicules Reports of Soviet Reversal on Israel
By P111NEAS J. B1RON
TOURNALISTS IN the Jewish and non-
Jewish
Jewish fields are writing with an all-
knowing air about the change in the Soviet
policy towards Israel. Rumors from "reliable
sources" were circulated that when Israel
would be on the agenda at the'

the political columnists very
mysteriously intimate that the
Communist line has shifted,
that anti-Semitism is rampant
in the USSR and that a num-
ber of Yiddish writers are

notch foreign correspondents seriously "af-
firms" that the late Prof. Schloime Michoels,
the Soviet Union's most renowned Yiddish
actor was liquidated a year ago.

IF YOU ADD UP all the rumors, the
gossip and the journalistic "scoops" you will
find that the USSR has taken over Hitler's
role as the Jews' public enemy No. 1. The
facts for those who really seek the truth
are however quite simple. The Soviet gov-
ernment has not changed, even one comma,
of its pro-Israel declaration. The Soviet gov-
ernment has not rescinded one word of its
law which makes anti-Semitism a crime in
the USSR.
And what is more, those communist Jewish 4
writers in Russia and in our land, who are
charged with having adopted an anti-Zionist
line have not written one single word against
the Jewish State. What they have written is
criticism against certain political trends in
Israel.

AN ACUTE TENSION between American
Jewry and the Soviet Union is being worked
up, very skillfully and very effectively.
That the Soviet government led the battle
for the creation of the Jewish State, that
Czechoslovakia saved the day for the Israeli
army on the battlefield, that Poland stood
by Israel from the very first moment at the
UN,—all is forgotten.
It is true that Hungary, Bulgaria and
Romania have stopped Jewish emigration for
Israel. The governments of these countries
insist on regulating the flight of Jewish
capital and manpower and refuse to be
stampeded into a mass exodus. But this Very
understandable attitude is being interpreted
as anti-Semitism.

ed to date to more than $40,000
for the 1949 Allied Jewish Cam-
paign. Many of the 700 workers
have already completed their as-
signments. •
An innovation in the Junior
campaign is the mobile division
headed by Sam Frankenstein.
This division is composed of
workers with cars who are cover-
ing the hundreds of slips of pros-
pects living in scattered neigh-
borhoods from postal zones one
to 31, Frankenstein said his
teams are doing an outstanding
job.
The Junior Division, in addition
to approximately 5,000 Junior
prospects, covers more than 4,000
unclassified slips.

James Ellman of Highland Park,
