Never a Member of Polish
Forces, Refugee Given
Court Martial

JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Polish
military authorities here have
sentenced a Polish Jew to six
years imprisonment on charges
of "desertion" although he was
never a member of the Polish
armed forces, it was disclosed
when his attorney filed a, writ
of habeas corpus in Jerusalem
district court.
A court order calls on the
commander of the Polish forces
here to appear on July 4, to
show cause why he should not be
released.
. The imprisoned man, Chaim
Novik, was among the Polish
refugees in southern Siberia. In
1941, he volunteered for the
Polish Army then being formed
in the U. S. S. - R. but was re-
jeeted. Novik succeeded in leav-
ing Russia with the Polish. Army
that was evacuated to the Middle
East, and eventually reached
Palestine.
Shortly after his arrival, he
was arrested and sentenced by
the Chief Magistrate in Haifa
prison on charges of entering il-
legally. Polish authorities form-
ally demanded his extradition,
and he was turned over to them.
A. Polish court-martial sentenced
Novik to six years for "deser-
tion," refusing to recognize his
exemption.

long to it."

Seek Funds to Spread
Book on Polish Jewry

For the past few months, all
branches of the. American Fed-
eration of Polsh. Jews have been
actively engaged in distributing
the Black Book of Polish Jewry.
The Detroit branch, with the
help of many donors, has mailed
hundreds of books to libraries,
universities, churches, clergy-
men and civic' leaders, as .well
as Jewish organizations and in-.
dividuals.
Many encouraging replies have
been sent to the local - office by
recipients of the book. In one
instance, a non-Jew, touched by
the tragedy- of Jewish suffering,
unsolocited, sent a contribution
to the Federation.
The local branch, in an effort
to send out more copies of the
book, will solicit organizations
and individuals for the necessary
funds. The offices at 9124 Lin-
wood Ave. are open Monday
through Friday, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.,
to give information and accept
contributions.
