Jewish Partisans Attack Train,
Free Deportees to Death Camps

Join Guerillas in Carpathian
Sections of Hungary to Kill
Gestapo Guards, JTA Reports

--14144w

A Jewish Telegraphic Agency cable from- Geneva reveals that Jewish
partisans among guerillas in the Carpathian sections of Hungary attacked a
train carrying Jewish deportees from Munkacz and other Carpathian cities
who were on their way to death camps in Poland.

The information, received from authentic sources in Hungary, states that
the Jewish deportees were freed and are now in hiding in the Carpathian
mountains and forests. The Gestapo guards who accompanied the Jews who
were doomed to death were assassinated by the Jewish partisans.

A Jewish Cliaplain Reports

ENGLAND — Lt. Irving Tepper, Jewish Army Chaplain, of
3903 Monroe Street, Chicago, who wears three stars on his Eu-
ropean-African war ribbon for the invasion of N. Africa, the
Timisiax-ripaign and the Sicilian campaign, has called the
latiefican Red Cross Field Director, John G. Bennet of Flint,
Mich., "a chaplain's chaplain."

The American Red Cross anethe Chaplain's Department al-
ways cooperate closely, and in the following paragraphs Lt. Tepper
writes of his experiences with the Red Cross.
"The Red Cross was helpful to me in preparing for the Jewish
New Year. Where could we possibly hold an indoors service for
both mornings of the Holy Days? I approached our division Red
Cross, which had set up shop in a small nearby town. I was advised
to contact the Red Cross field director in a much larger nearby
town. He arranged for us to use the large Red Cross theater. He
also arranged for feeding about 500 men after both services.
"We used his clubrooms to prepare and serve the meal. He
told me where I could obtain each item in a menu I had drawn
up for the meals. We were able to feed 1,000 men, thanks to the
American ,Red Cross, during the two days of the services."

.

Hundreds of liberated Jews from Munkacz, Ouzorod and Kozicz are
enlisted in the guerilla bands. They receive their supplies from the non-
Jewish populations in their hiding places.

Another JTA report from the Hungarian underground states that mass
deportation of Jews from Hungary to Polish death camps continues and that
tens of thousands have already been deported. It is believed that the Jews
were sent to the death camps in Treblinka, Belzecz
and the Lublin district.

Order Mayors Set Up Ghettos in Hungary

ZURICH (JTA) — A decree empowering local
mayors to set up ghettos for Jews in towns where
the population is larger than 10,000 has -been issued,
by the Hungarian government and - is published in
newspapers reaching here from Budapest. The
mayors of towns which have less than 10,000 inhabi-
tants were authorized earlier "to remove" Jewish
residents to larger cities.

The newspapers report that the first provincial
ghetto for Jews has already been established in the
town of Miskolc and that similar ghettos will soon
be established in Szeged and in Ujpest. The decree
also authorizes the mayors to compel non-Jews to
move from the sections to which the Jews are being
remo-ved.
