Mufti's. Flight to Syria
From Paris 'Refuge'
Rouses World's Jewry

News of the disappearance from his Paris "refuge" of
Haj Amin el Husseini, former Jerusalem Grand Mufti, has
roused Jewish communities throughout the world as well
as Christian leaders who had demanded his extradition.
Since the end of the war, the British government was
pressed for action to call for the removal of the Grand Mufti
from Paris and his placement on trial as a war criminal.
One of the reports regarding the Mufti's "escape" in-
timated that the arch-enemy of the Jewish people, who had
Collaborated with Hitler' and who is charged - with respon-
sibility for the murder of thousands of European •Jews, had
arrived in Syria in a British plane to address the Arab
League.

Col.) Bernard Segal as director
of extension activities of the

man in 1944 and 1945 of the War-
time Emergency Commission- for
Conservative Judaism.

(JERUSALEM—Dispatches report the Mufti to be at Chush
el Mathben, a village near Damascus, at the home of Jamil
Mardam, Syrian ambassador to Egypt. Arabs say if British
press for his extradition' the Mufti will move to Saudi Arabia.)

The French government 'consistently refused to commit
itself to demands that the Mufti be removed from the
palace where he lived in an atmosphere of luxury.
The Mufti had entered France from Switzerland in
May, 1945. He lived in a villa not far from Versailles. He
was said to be under special guard of a select group of
Arabs, His movements were unhindered and he frequent-
ly made trips to Paris.
On June 3 he broadcast an appeal to the Arab world to
continue the fight against Zionism.
Last year the Yugoslav State Commission for the In-
vestigation of War Crimes den-ianded that the Mufti be ex-
tradited to stand trial as a war criminal.
