NEW YORK (JTA)—Contending the past denazification pro-
cedures have failed to accomplish their objectives, the American
Jewish Conference has urged that denazification in the American
zone in Germany be prosecuted with increased vigor, in communi-
cations to Secretary of State James F. Byrnes and Secretary of War
Robert P. Patterson.
The charge was based on the killing of Samuel Danziger, 37-
year-old survivor of the Oswiecim concentration camp, who was
shot on Friday morning, March 29, by German police in a mass raid
on the Stuttgart displaced persons settlement. Three other Jews
were wounded and 26 were arrested.
An urgent appeal to the United Nations Committee on Refugees
and Displaced Persons now meeting in London and to the Anglo-
American inquiry committee, now deliberating in Switzerland, to
assure to the displaced Jews in Germany and to Jews in Eastern
European countries "emigration to the places of their choice, in-
cluding Palestine," was made by Judge Simon H. Rifkind, at the
first annual meeting of , the New York Chapter of the American
Jewish Committee, at Hotel. Biltmore.
Judge Rifkind, who recently returned from Europe where he
acted as advisor on Jewish problems to the U. S. military com-
mand, declared that "among the displaced Jews in Germany and
Austria there is substantial unanimity on this proposition: they
want to quit Europe. That continent is to them a graveyard of
memories. They have chosen the road of their own salvation. It
leads straight to Palestine. No power on earth can divert them, be-
cause they are prepared to accept death rather than surrender."
The meeting was attended by several hundred leading merfi-
bers of the New York Jewish community. Ralph E. Samuel, who
presided, was re-elected chairman of the New York chapter. Alan
M. Stroock, vice-chairman of the executive committee of the Amer-
ican Jewish Committee, delivered a report on the recently held
London conference of Jewish organizations, in which some 70 dele-
gates of Jewish bodies in 13 countries participated.
On the subject of Palestine, Mr. Stroock said, there was gen-
eral accord on the necessity of re-opening Palestine to large-scale
Jewish immigration and on removing existing restrictions on the
sale, purchase, and development of land.

of minorities in the United States
and that "intolerance and bigotry
are too expensive for even rich
America," U. S. Attorney Gen..
Clark warned that only by con-
stant vigilance can anti-Semitic
organizations be repressed.
Clark spoke at a dinner of the
Jewish Labor Committee mark-
ing the launching of a $1,000,000
drive to finance rescue work • in
Europe and the committee's edu-
cational campaign against anti-
Semitism in this country.
President Truman, in a mes-
sage to the dinner, addressed to
Mr. Clark and read by him, said:
"I wish that you would tell our
friends of the Jewish Labor Com-
mittee how pleased I am with
their record and how happy I am
that they are so fully engaged in
the European food program. It
warms my heart, in these days
of sometimes captious criticism,
to witness the work of groups
such as this who in reality form
the silent services of democracy.
They work while others are ex-
pounding, and they work also
while others are asleep. I will
never forget their services to the
people, to democracy, and . to
humanity."
