NUREMBERG, (JTA)—The 58 Germans being tried at Weissen- burg for attacks -all Jews, Jew- ish property and synagogues daring the November, 1938 po- [(ion's, which were staged follow- ing. the assassination of Nazi dip- lomat Ernst vom Rath, have all pleaded not guilty. The only . Sur triving. Jew in the Weissenburg district was to testify this week. In another aftermath of the 1938 outbreaks, the city council of the north Bavarian town of Lichienfels has voted that the buildings formerly used by the :Jewish congregation there be repaired at the expense of those vilio participated in their de- struction. As recently as April, 1944, on the eve of the Allied invasion of Europe, Nazi diplomats from all parts of the world were sum- moned to a special conference in Germany at which they discuss- ed means of intensifying anti- -&emitic activities in America and the Far East, as well as in rope, it was revealed here. • British prosecutors submitted .a German Foregin Office report. On the meeting, which was dub- bed a "Conference of Consultants On the Jewish Question, "Nazi representatives in China. and Jap an were among those present, and one of the chief topics was a discussion • of the 20,000 Jewish refugees in Shanghai. Nazi Foreign Minister von Rib- bentrop was exposed as one of the major cogs in the German anti-Semitic propaganda machine abroad, as he opened his defense. The first witness introduced by Von Ribbentrop's counsel was a former official of the Foreign `Ministry .named Steengracht, who -attempted to picture his one-time chief as an opponent of anti- 'Jewish measures. He wilted however, when on cross-exam- ination British prosecutors Con- fronted him with several doeu- ments linking Von Ribbentrop to anti-Jewish activities. Commends' Miss Harwood, I: L.

Post Huron; Mich. * * * Criticizes Council Exclusion Of Jewish Fraternal Order Editor, The Jewish News: Since the Communist party party appears in our voting ballot and since the Soviet government is a respected member of the United Nations OrganizatiOn, what is the matter with the mem- bers of the Jewish Community Council who voted against the ad- mission of the Jewish Fraternal Order? It seems to me that the result of this controversy shows the need for enlightened thinking on the subject. of democracy and unanimity.
