BENNET 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.

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.
