A world conference of JeWs serving with •
the Allied armies is a proposal now being en-
' tertained by the Jewish Brigade, Sgt. Major
Zeev Feinstein, a member of the Jewish .Bri-
gade, told the Zionist Conference in London.
The Polish Government has decided to
establish an autonomous canton in lower
Silesia, formerly part of Germany, where
20,000 to 30,000 Jews can be settled, Dr. Emil
Sommerstein, chairman of the Central Com-
mittee of Polish Jews, told the Independent
Jewish Press Service in an exclusive inter-
view in . London. Dr. ilommerstr‘in reported
that the Jewish population of Lodz has reached
21,000, making it the largest Jewish center in
Poland today. The second largest Jewish com-
munity is Cracow, comprising 5,000 Jews. Nine
thousand Jewish boys and girls from these
centers' are being trained in several trade
schools. ,
Evidence that a German death camp where
Jews and Poles were murdered and cremated,
existed - on the premises of a former military
prison in the heart of Warsaw, has been un-
'covered by a special Soviet investigating com-
mittee under the direction of the Polish Min-
ister' of Justice.
Ernest Grabner,- from 1940 to 1943 ccm-
mander of the Nazi death camp at Oswiecim,
in Poland, where millions of Jews were mur-
, dered and cremated, admitted, in the offices
of the. Austrian political police in Vienna, that
- . he personally ordered the mass executions. of
from 200,000 to 1,000;000 persons. Dr. Heinrich
Durmayer;. noW. Chief of the Austriah Political
Police; who was himself an inmate of Os-
wiecim,. said that "Grabner killed three times.
as many as ordered. He.- had 300 put to death
for every 100 he was told to execute."

After the invocation by Chap-
lain Eugene J. Cohen, AILS.,
and introductory remarks . by Z.
Paul tlyne, national president,
the delegates joined in the con-
sideration of the organizational
program being - developed by
Masada..

Speakers at the sessions in-
cluded Willis S. Steinitz, na-
tional treasurer; Joseph Stern-
stein; Seymour J. Cohen, di-
rector of organization; Aaron

new and major activity being
launched by the organization in-
conjunctiOn with the , Jewish
