Stalin Says Russia Wants
Jewish Problem Solved
Authorizes Dr. Emil Sommerstein to Make Public His Views;
Says He Knows What Germans Did to Polish Jewry
and That 'We Shall Avenge It"
TEL AVIV, (JTA)—The Soviet Government would be "seri-
ously" interested in an international solution of the Jewish
problem, Marshal Josef Stalin is reported here to have stated to
Dr. Emil Sommerstein, leader of the Jews in liberated Poland,
during a reception tendered in the Kremlin to members of the
Polish Government.
Addressing a group of editors of the Hebrew press, M. Klein-
- baum, leader of the Polish Jews in Palestine, revealed that Dr.
Sommerstein, who was among the group feted at the Kremlin,
asked Stalin whether he knew what the Germans did to Polish
Jewry. Stalin's reply was: "Yes, and we shall avenge if!"
Dr. Sommerstein then asked Stalin whether the Soviet Gov-
ernment would be interested in an international solution of the
Jewish problem. "Certanly and seriously!" Stalin answered.
Asked whether he would allow his views to be made public,
Stalin told Dr. Sommerstein that he had no objections.
Weekly Review of the News of the World
(Compiled From Cables of Independent Jewish Press Service)
AMERICA
Seventy-four orientation pamphlets issued to
education and information officers of the U. S.
Army have not been widely used, the weekly
newsletter "In Fact" charges. The pamphlets,
anti-Fascist and anti-hate documents, were is-
sued to 175,000 officers with explicit Instruc-
tions from General Marshall on how to use
them.
It has been authoritatively reported that
President Truman is giving serious consider-
ation to the nomination of Alexander Holtzoff,
Justice Department official, to a judgeship in
the Federal District Court.
An appeal to American-Jewish workers for
food, clothes and other aid for the 100,000 sur-
viving Jews in Poland, was contained in a let-
ter from Jan Stanczyk, Polish Minister of
Welfare, t6 David Dubinsky, treasurer of the
Jewish Labor Committee and president of the
International Ladies' Garment Workers Union.
PALESTINE
Colonial Secretary Hall announced the ap-
pointment at the request of High Commissioner
Gort, of a special commission to inquire into
Jewish Palestine's school system, to make
recommendations with regard to its adminis-
trative machinery, structure, finances and the
terms and conditions of service of its teachers.
Jewish Palestine has complained of the scanty
government support for Jewish education, al-
though the Government's tax revenue is mainly
from Jews.
The Nesher Cement Company in Haifa,
founded 24 years ago and today one of the
largest industrial plants in the Near East, has
been purchased by Solel: Boneh, a cooperative
of the Histadruth (Jewish Palestine's Federa-
tion of Labor), in partnership with a group of
Jewish financiers of Palestine and Egypt, for
1,000,000 pounds sterling.

Records to Convict Nazis
Of Atrocities Against Jews
Supreme Court Justice Jackson, Chief U. S. Prosecutor for
Forthcoming Trials of German War Criminals, Says List
of Crimes to Be Used as Primary Evidence
WASHINGTON, D.C. (JPS)—The Chief U. S. prosecutor at the
n war criminals, Supreme Court
forthcoming trials of Germa
Justice Robert H. Jackson, stated on his return from Germany for
_a week's conferences with government officials, that the Nazis'
owp record will convict them of their crimes.
"The Gerrnan is methodical to the Nth degree," he said. "He
records everything he does. He didn't strike a finger from a Jew
without making a record of it. We have complete access to these
records. They will be used against the men on trial." It has been
fairly well established by now that the crimes against the Jews
will be used as primary evidence against the Germans.
He confirmed earlier reports that the trials may not start be-
fore Nov. 1.
"Our present plan," Justice Jackson said, "is to return the in-
dictment against the Germans about Oct. 1. We will probably have
to wait about a month for defending counsel to study the indict-
ments and prepare for trial, which means the trials probably will
not start until around Nov. 1. How long they will take we cannot
tell, but I assure you the language difficulties are enough in them-
selves, with every word being translated into four languages. The
trial may last a month or longer."
Fascist Terror in America
Rising From Underground
Organizations Probing and Combatting Race Hate Move-
ments Disturbed by Reports of Desecrations of Jewish
Graves and Assaults; G. L. K. Smith's Activities Grow
By FAY BICK
•
NEW YORK (JPS)—Organizations investigating and combat-
ting race-hate movements are profoundly disturbed by reports
. of desecrations of Jewish cemeteries and physical assaults by anti-
Semitic hoodlums, • filtering in from all parts of the country and
fitting into what is rapidly evolving as a pattern of fascist terror
and intimidation.
These minor incidents are the most disturbing because they are
'eorrolary to the reemergence of native fascist leaders and organ-
izations from a five year "for the duration" silence.
Areas in which these incidents have occurred include New
York City, the Boston environs and Michigan.
In New York, former Senator Reyonlds' Nationalist Party held
a joint meeting (admission by card only; attendance—one hun-
dred) with the Congress of Monetary Organizations (a paper
organization) at the Hotel Empire.•

sisting of the most fantastic and perfidious features of the ham-
and-egg program, Coughlin's sixteen principles of "social justice,"
and Huey Long's "share the wealth."
In Brooklyn, two patrolmen, Cliarles Burns and Joseph Chia-
•petta faced departmental charges for having violated police regu-
lations by releasing two hoodlums arrested in the course of break-
ing up a gang attack on Jewish boys.
Mrs. Mary Freeman, a witness, charged that a man who identi-
fied himself as a police officer came to her home the day she was
.to appear at the district attorney's office and sought to intimidate
her. Earlier Mrs. Freeman had pleaded guilty to disorderly con-
' duct growing out of an alleged scuffle with police when she insist-
