Polish Consul General
Tells of Anti-Semitism ._
LONDON, (JPS)—Stefan Len-
oz, Polish ConStil General in
London, now touring DP camps
in Germany, told correspondents
in - Berlin that the anti-Semitism
in Poland is largely among Poles
who acquired confiscated Jewish
property and now refuse to re-
turn it.
He said that 90 percent of the
Jews in Poland want to go to
Palestine because they are sole
surviving members. of Jewish
families wiped out by the Nazis.
He confirmed reports that the
Polish Government is.. helping
Jews leave Poland.
2,000 Sews "Vanish" From
Soviet Sector of Berlin
BERLIN, (JPS)—Two thousand
Jewish refugees, mostly from
Poland, suddenly "vanished"
from the Soviet-administered
zone of Berlin, reportedly to
escape forced evacuation into
the Russian-occupied zone of
Germany, and 500 have turned
up in the U. S. zone, Col. Frank
Howley, American Military Gov-
ernor of Berlin, disclosed here.
Col. Howley said that Berlin
is a bottle-neck for refugees from
eastern Europe whom he de-
scribed as "not displaced persons
but mostly well-fed, well-clothed
people." On Jan. 5, there were
6,000 in Berlin. Most of them
come from the Jewish com-
munity in Lodz and told investi-
gators they were fleeing "perse-
cution", Col. Howley said. He
added that an investigation show-
ed that 65 per cent of them want
to go to Palestine and 25 per
cent want to go to America.

tion Signed Under Duress
LONDON, (JPS)—The British

"anti-panic" proclamation signed
by the Central Jewish Commit-
tee of Poland, exhorting Polish
Jews to stay in Poland. Jewish
