STOCKHOLM, (JTA)—The German city of Frankfurt-
on-the-Main, where Jews have been residing since the 13th
century and which was known as a center of Jewish orthodox
learning, is now completely "judenrein," the Nazi radio an-
nounced this week. Also the entire province of Hesse-Nassau.
The announcement was made during a speech delivered
in Frankfurt by the local Nazi district commissioner, Spren-
ger, and broadcast throughout Europe. "The birthplace of
Goethe, once . the metropolis of Jewry, has been restored to
its reputation as the spiritual center of Southern Germany
after being cleansed from the alien Jewish influence," he said.

President of Jewish Community of Zagreb Arrested
GENEVA, (JTA)—The arrest of Dr. E. Cohn, president
of the Jewish community of Zagreb, capital of the Nazi pup--
pet state of Croatia, and his deportation to an unknown des-
tination, was reported here this week.
The report said that of the Jewish community of Zagreb,
which numbered 10,000 persons in 1936, only about 1,000 men,
women and children remain. The others have been deported
from the city and are being held in several concentration
camps. It is known that 3,000 of the deported Jewish women
are held in a camp near Novogrodisca while 1,500 men are
isolated in a camp near Jasenovac.
The Vatican radio this week reported that as a result of
a protest by the Archbishop of Zagreb, Nazi-controlled Croa-
tian authorities have withdrawn an order instructing police
to register all Jews, including "those who had become
Catholics."
Fearing that the Jews would be taken to concentration
camps, the Archbishop of Zagreb "lodged an energetic pro-
test against these measures" early'. in March.

Gestapo Chief In Poland Was Assassinated
LONDON, (JTA)—Polish circles this week ridiculed the
denial issued from Berlin that General Wilhelm Krueger,
Gestapo chief in Poland, has not been assassinated. They in-
sisted that Krueger, who was notorious for the reign of terror
he instituted against the Jews in the ghettos, was killed by
Polish patriots and called the assassination "a masterpiece of
audacity." Krueger supervised the liquidation of the ghettos
in Warsaw, Cracow and Lublin, the Polish press here reports.

was nearly blown up during a
raid by the Nazis.
"A slice of shrapnel nicked our
truck," according to Col. Zanuck,
"but other than this the nearest

the casualties and damage' were
not as serious as they might
have been.
"The wounded from a tank
battle were pouring in, and we

These selections were made in
order to secure the broadest pos-
sible representation of all groups
of the Jewish community. Each
person was chosen because he is
an active leader in his particular
circle of organizations, and has a
direct personal knowledge of the
activities of the Council.
According to the provisions of
the Community Council's Consti-
tution, this Committee is limited
to seven persons, of which num-
ber only three can be members

mittee of the Jewish Community
Council.
The nominating committee has
the responsibility of selecting a
slate of candidates to fill the po-
sitions of officers and executive
committee members for the Jew-
ish Community Council for the
1943-'45 term.
This slate of candidates will be
presented to the delegates at
their meeting - Thursday evening,
June 22. The Constitution pro-
vides that additional nominations
may be made from the floor.
From all names proposed, the
delegates will elect the new offi-
cers and new Executive Commit-
tee of the Jewish Community
Council. This new administration
will be responsible for the func-
tioning and for the policies of the
Jewish Community Council dur-
ing the two-year period, 1943-'45.
