AMERICA

The number of foreign-born persons in the
United States is fast approaching the vanish-
ing point, and under current immigration
restrictions the number of foreign-born whites
in this country, will, in 1980, constitute only
one percent of the population, compared to
14. percent in 1920, statisticians of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company report.
"In the decade from 1930 to 1940 our net alien
immigration averaged only 7,000 a year," the
statisticians say, while deaths of foreign-born
totaled 264,000 in 1940 alone.
An Austrian Jewish refugee, who fled
from the NaziS t in 1939, and settled in the
Philippine Islands, and a wealthy Philippine
citizen, thwarted a Japanese atrocity plot,
during the enemy occupation of the Islands,
which was to-have been blamed on American
fliers, I. Kaufman, Brooklyn Eagle staff cor-
respondent, reports in a delayed • dispatch
from Manila.

OVERSEAS

One hundred and twenty German Jewish
refugees, in Portugal, have been interned at
Camp Calda''s Darainha, near Lisbon, pending
receipt of Palestine
- certificates from the Jew-
ish Agency.
The Jewish Workers Club has re-opened in
Praga, suburb of Warsaw. The Jewish Den-
tists Union, at a meeting held in the city, de-
cided to establish a large cooperative hospital.
Eight thousand Polish Jews, who in 1944
were herded by the Germans in the town of
BQbrizica on the Oder River, for distribution
to near-by death camps, now occupy apart-

ments in that town, hastily vacated by the
Germans' before its liberation, and have ap-
pointed a Jewish concentrant camp survivor
as a Burgomaster.
Jewish metal workers, electricians, plumb-
ers and tin-smiths, have resumed their trades
in Lodz and now engaged in refitting damaged
houses in the former ghetto district. A Jew-
ish Metal Workers' Society, set up on the
premises of a factory which once produced
fixtures for German encampments, has re-
ceived the sum of 500,000 zloti in credits from
the Jewish City committee of Lodz.
Expressing disgust at the anti-Jewish feel-
ing now prevailing in Slovakia, delegates to
the Slovak Communist Party: Congress, in
Zilina, called on the government leaders to
outlaw anti-Semitism and to help economical-
ly the rehabilitation of surviving Slovakian
Jews.
The audience in a crowded Vienna court
was moved to tears as Somu Krat, 11-year-old
Jewish boy from Budapest, identified five Nazi
SS men as the murderers of his father, his
two brothers and 99 other Hungarian Jews
who were caught' by the SS after their escape, ,
last summer, from the Deutschalenburg con-
centration camp near the Slovakian frontier.
When the Austrian judge, Dr. Narhaft, asked
him if he was sure he recognized the prison-
ers as the men who committed the massacre,
the boy replied: "If the 102 slain Jews could
stand as witnesses, they would also recognize
the murderers' faces."
The Zionist movement and the teaching of
Hebrew have been prohibited by the_ authori-
ties in Carpatho-Ruthenia, according to an un-
confirmed report received in London.

British Army Officer Relates
Nazi-Perpetrated Horrors

Capt. Issahary Tells How Hitlerites Are Hoping for Discord
Among Allies; Orders Prevented His Meeting
Detroit Nephew, Lt. Harry Heller

Lt. Harry Heller of Detroit,
who is now in Marseilles, France,
missed at least a dozen oppor-
tunities to meet 'Mrs. Heller's
uncle, Dr. Myron Issahary, a
Captain serving in the British
army, while overseas. But every
chance was missed because either
one or the other had received
orders to move on from their as-
signments.
Mrs. Heller is the - foriner Vir-
ginia Lichtenstein, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Lichtenstein
of 2446 Clairmont. Capt. Issahary
' is a brother of Mrs. Lichtenstein.
Capt. Issahary has served in
the British forces since the out-
- break of the war. He participat-
ed in all the European invasions,
and has been to Africa, Italy,
England and now in Germany.
Hoping for Discord
From Germany he writes that
even the so-called anti-Nazis
consider Hitler the greatest man
but believe he was under the in-
fluence of bad advisers. He re-
ports that most Germans hope
for United Nations discord to
bring them back to power.
His stretcher-bearers carried
away the German Admiral Von
Frieberg who had committed
suicide. At Flensburg, Capt. Is-
sahary was present when the
Royal Marines captured the Kiel
fleet. 4 Palestinian for a num-
ber of years, his wife and 8-year-
old daughter are now residing in
Palestine where Capt. Issahary
hopes to return soon to resume
practice of medicine.
Talks with Survivors
Among the experiences record-
ed by Capt. Issahary are his con-
versations with survivors from
'Nazi death camps. He reports
meeting people from Libau, his
and Mrs. Lichtenstein's birth-
place, who told him of the Nazi
atrocities and the murder of the
residents of that community.
Relating what he learned about
"the odious extermination Camp
Stutthoff near Danzig where
systematically decimated by tor-
tures, disease and plain killing,"
Capt. Issahary writes: "When the
Russians drove closer to Danzig,

834 of the remaining 130,000 were
loaded on a ship. On the open
sea the barbarians threw off and
drowned 652. The 182. survivors
are here. Among them are lady-
doctors who had a better deal,
Dr. Paja Finkelstein and Dr.
Masha Jochelson of Kowno, Dr.
Kaplan of Riga, Dr. Martha
Loewy and Dr. Alice Tiben of
Pilsen.

Relatei Horror Stories
"They told me of a Nazi
`-joke:' they used to take 500

shovels for a certain job and
would call 600 to 700 to fetch the
tools. The ones left without
shovels had to die the same day."
Horror stories without end are
related by Capt. Issahary, and in-
variably he tells' how Gauleiters
are trying to hide their guilt and
to deny being Hitlerites while
they express praise for the
fuehrer. -

antes of Senator Bilbo, we can-
not state too emphatically that
we deplore all such remarks
which insult fellow-Americans
and sow the seeds of racial
discord."
Last week, Senator Smith
(R., N.J.) a member of the Sen-
ate District of Columbia Corn-
mittee, of which -411ilbo is chair-
man, sharply repudiated the
Mississippi Senator.
A letter denouncing his at-
tacks against Jews, Negroes and
other minority groups as "a
chilling deterrent to the' world-
wide belief that Ainerica is the.
symbol of democracy, freedom
and human rights," was sent to
Senator Theodore G. Bilbo
(D., Miss.) by the Catholic Com-
mittee 'for Human Rights, signed
by Senator Murray (D., Mon-
tana) and sponsored by Supreme
Court Justice Murphy, Governor
Lausche of Ohio, Archbishop
Lucey of Texas and Philip Mur- .
ray, president of the Congress
of Industrial Organizations.
