Nazis Claim Ciano
Was Friend of Jews

•

LONDON (JPS) — C o u n t
Ciano, Mussolini's son-in-law and
former Foreign Minister of Fas-
cist Italy, who was executed by
the Nazis last week, was charged
in German press "obituaries"
with having been an intimate
friend of Jewish community
leaders in Italy and with having
conspired to sabotage the Aryan
law. Stymied in the implementa-
tion of the Aryan laws, Italy
failed to develop into a full-
fledged Fascist state and this
accounts for her failure to hold
out, the Nazi press. says.

Nazis Using Dogs
To Hunt Down Jews
BERNE. (JPS)—Nazis are now
using the •canine variety of dog
to track down Jews attempting
to escape from F r a n c e into
Switzerland. Twenty thousand
French Jews exiled from t h e
Riviera, have been deported to
labor and concentration camps in
Poland. Among them a r e the
Parisian Yiddish writers Vevi-
orka, Aromson, Moses Blank, B.
Resnick, Berson and Dimant.

Henry Wineman Is Elected
A Vice-President of NRS

President Roosevelt Praises National Refugee Service as
Being Largely Responsible "for the Successful
Program of Aid to New Americans"

NEW YORK.—In a message to the two-day conference
of the National Refugee Service held last Saturday and Sun-.
day at Hotel Commodore, President Roosevelt praised NRS
activities as being largely responsible "for the successful
program of aid to new Americans," and added that it was
heartening that "our country is prepared to continue the

well-conceived and effective pro-
gram for aiding newcomers to
fulfill their hopes of becoming
good Americans."
Willi a m Rosenwald, retiring
president, stated in submitting
his report that the U. S. may
be expected to abide "by its his-
toric principle of giving haven
to the oppressed."
Honorary President
Mr. Rosenwald w a s elected
honorary president a f t e r five
years • of service as president.
Charles Riegelman was chosen
president. Henry Wineman was
chosen one of the vice-presidents.
Mr. Rosenwald's repo r t re-
vealed that while 260,000 refu-
gees reached o u r shores, the
Government since 1933 has ex-
hibited its "good-will by issuing
more than 500,000 visas to refu-
gees; actually, less than half of
the total visas issued were used,
nevertheless, the very fact that
they were granted affords evi-
dence of the Government's hos-
pitable policy."
Greatest Advances
The greatest advances in ad-
justment of r ef u g e es were
achieved in 1943, Joseph E. Beck,
executive director, disclosed in
his report.
Quincy Howe, radio commen-
tator, stressed the need for the
United States to continue its tra-
ditional policy of hospitality to
the opressed, saying, "the Na-

tional Refugee Service has pro-
vided an outlet- f o r American
generosity."
Dr. Hans Simons, dean of the
School of Politics of the New
School for Social Research, and
son of Walter Simons, pre-Hitler
President of Germany, also
spoke.
