THE JEWISH NEWS
Forced to Throw Living Jews
I to Crematoria, He Testifies
Polish Jew Tells U. S. Military Court at Dauchau of Orders
From SS Doctor; Prosecutor Jackson Aroused by
Anti-Semitic Material Used by Defense
DACHAU, Germany (JTA)—Izak Gruenberg, a Polish Jew,
testified before a U. S. military court trying 62 officials of the.
Mauthausen concentration camp that he had been forced to throw
living persons into the camp creamatoria. Gruenberg said that
an SS doctor named Willy Robst had ordered him to do so.
Prevent Criminals From Using Trial for Anti-Semitism
NUREMBERG (JTA)—Following a charge by U. S. Prosecutor
Roioert Jackson that the defense was seeking to use the International
Military Tribunal as a "sounding board" for its anti-Semitism, the
court decided today to appoint a special official to pass on the
relevance of all material submitted for printing by defense attorneys.
Jackson's ire was aroused by material printed by the court's
presses for Alfred Rosenberg, which contained what he described as
"violently anti-Semitic and irrelevant rubbish." He said that "the
United States cannot print and disseminate this violent anti-Semi-
tism. The defense believes we are here to try the issue of the causes
of anti-Semitism, with this tribunal as the sounding board. The is-
sue is not Rosenberg's philosophy, but we are charging the murder
of four to five million Jews."
Hans Lammers, former chief of the German Chancellory, ad-
mitted that many thousands of German government officials knew
of the Nazi policy to exterminate the Jews. Called as a defense wit-
ness, Lammers testified that in 1942 Goering received orders from
Hitler for the "final solution of the Jewish question," and that the
Reichsmarshal had passed these orders on to Heinrich Heydrich, at
that time deputy chief of the Gestapo, for execution. Lammers in-
sisted that he did not understand the meaning of the term "final
solution."
Memorial Plaques Defaced By Anti-Semitic Vandals

munity, in a letter written to the'local police president, Dr. Rudolph
Siegert, asked action to prevent similar occurrences and to appre-
hend the persons responsible for the vandalism. Siegert offered a
reward of 1,000 marks for information leading to the apprehension
of the guilty persons.

WASHINGTON, ( J T A )—Ac-
cusing Britain of `!sabotaging"
the Anglo-American Committee
of Inquiry on Palestine "by pre-
senting it with the independ-
ence of Transjordan as a fait ac-
compli," Rep. Emanuel Celler,
New York, has introduced a con-
current resolution asking that
the U. S. government withhold
recognition of Transjordan as an
independent state and request all
members of the United Nations
to take a similar stand.
The resolution emphasizes that
Britain's action is a "violation of
the solemn terms of the mandate
over Palestine which includes
Transjordan" and violates the
Anglo-American conVention of
1924 "which 'protects the rights
of American citizens in all of
Palestine, including Transjordan,
and which precludes unilateral
infractions of its terms by the
parties signatory."
The resolution also charged
that by unilaterally granting in-
dependence to Transjordan, Bri-
tain violated the UN charter.
