Christians Pay Last
Respects to Chief Rabbi
ANKARA (JPS)—In a move_ to
stop the spreading of resistance
on the, part of Hungarian masses
to the anti-Jewish program pro-
mulgated by their quisling gov-
ernment, police rounded up 1,500
persons throughout the country,
including 45 priests, on charges
that they conspired to assist the
Jews in concealing property and
evading internment in the
ghettos
A powerful demonstration of
this resistance was the large pro-
cession of Christians who fol-
lowed the funeral bier of 'Chief
Rabbi Loew of Budapest. Mem-
bers of both Houses of Parlia-
ment and of the highest aristoc-
racy walked at the side of Jews
as the bier moved through some
of the major thoroughfares.

ZURICH, (JTA)---The Swiss radio this week announced
' that representatives of. the International Red Cross in Hun-
gary have been permitted to extend relief to Jews there and
to facilitate their emigration from the country.
The Red Cross representatives have been allowed to. visit
Jewish homes and hospitals allocated to Jews, -the announce-
ment said. They have also visit-@
ed two Jewish internment camps
and arranged relief for the in-
ternees there.
"The Red Cross representatives
also will try to make the emi-
gration of Jews from Hungary
easier through the medium of the
delegations of the International
Red Cross in Budapest, London
and Washington," the 'broadcast
said.
A Serious Problem
It is .reported here that sabo-
tage of anti-Jewish measures by
increasing numbers of Hungar-
ians, including highly placed of-
ficials, is presenting a serious
problem to the pro-Nazi Hun-
garian government.
In the. Carpathian town of
Munkacz, in the section of Czech-
oslovakia seized by Htrigary, the
chief of police has been dismissed
for releasing fugitive Jews who
had been seized in the 'Carpathian
Mountains while attempting to
flee the country.
The Hungarian press cOmplains
that large-scale aid is being given
Jews. Many Christian lawyers
in Budapest have interceded with
the minister of the interior - for
Jewish colleagues. ,
The Nazi Transkontinent Press
reportS this. week from Budapest
that in view of the large nulnber
of Jews seeking to enter the
Christian church to evade de-
portation, the authorities have an-
nounced that baptized Jews will
not be permitted to discard the

wear... , .

JDC Lists Names
Of 573 Refugees
Now in.. Palestine
Names of 573 Jewish men,
women and children, members of
300 families who have reached
Palestine from Southern Italy,
were announced by the Joint
Distribution Committee.
The list, forwarded from Jeru-
salem, includes the names of
members of many families who
fled to Italy before 1940 when
the Nazi hordes overran Europe.
Their refuge became untenable
when the Germans took over the
Italian peninsula after Italy en-
tered the war. Most of them were
interned at Bari and Ferramonti
in Southern Italy.
After the success of the Allied
invasion forces, Max Perlman,
JDC representative, advanced the
relief organization's program in
the area. .
The JDC participated in the
program of removal fro,m south-
ern Italy of these refugees.
The list of the 573 who have
reachedFVestine is available at
the office of The Jewish News,
2114 Penobscot Bldg., D elevator.

Another group is the radio

gram works under the leadership
of Reuben Young. Next Thurs-
day, a large party will be given
for all connected with the pro-

This project, which nearly 200

dren and applications may be
