Displaced Jews in 17 Areas in American Zone in Peaceful
Demonstrations; Survivors Seek Better Relations
Between U. S. Troops and DP's
S. Lifshitz of Toronto, Ont.,
eminent leader of Canadian Jew-
ry and editor of the Canadian
Jewish Weekly, will address a
mass meeting on Wednesday,
FRANKFURT (JTA)—Peaceful demonstrations in which 35,000
displaced Jews participated took place in 17 camps for Jews through-
out the American zone, in protest against the killing by the German
police of a displaced Jew, Samuel Denziger, during a raid on a
Jewish camp near Stuttgart last month.
Military police were on the alert, and a cordon of troops was
thrown around several of the camps, but the demonstrations passed
quietly, and there was no violence. At Munich, the Jews attempted
to march out of the camp, but were turned back at the gates.
Representatives of regional committees of liberated Jews in
Greater Hesse met April 4 at the Zeilsheim camp and discussed
Methods of establishing better relations between the U. S. troops
and the Jews in the DP camps.
The 38 delegates participating in the conference represented
both Jews who are still in camps and those who reside in outside
communities. Among the questions discussed was the problem of
assigning more UNRRA food to Jews who .live outside the camps
and the establishment of more synagogues.
Sixty harassed Jews who recently arrived here from Breslau,
capital of what was formerly German Silesia and which is now
Polish territory, told the correspondent of the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency of the widespread anti-Semitism in that city, which the
Polish'authorities have renamed Wroclaw. They revealed that 1,200
Jews left Breslau for Thuringia, in the Russian zone, at the invi-
tation of the Soviet-sponsored German Government there.

Jews to Sail for U. S. May 1
FRANKFURT (JTA)—Between

Munich on April 26, while other
groups will leave Frankfurt and
Stuttgart the following day.
Present plans call for shipping
between 800 and 900 weekly to
the United States, with the provi-

3,900 permits will be issued in
any one month. The Displaced
Rabbi Here from Zion
In Behalf of Orphans
Rabbi Isaac Fried came to De-
troit this week in the interest of
Diskin Orphanage of Palestine.
His mission here is endorsed by
the local rabbis who point to the
traditional support given by Jew-
ish communities to this orphan-
age.
Rabbi Fried has brought with
him the endorsement of Dr. Isaac
Herzog, Chief Rabbi of Palestine.
Dr. Herzog points to the "grave
financial crisis" in which the Dis-
kin Orphanage finds itself and he
appeals to Jews everywhere to
support the institution.
