Off the Record
Bar Persecutors
From U. S., Wiley
Amendment Asks
By NATHAN ZIPRIN
WASHINGTON (JTA)—Euro-
peans who actively participated
in persecution of Jews should be
barred from immigration to the
United States, it was recom-
mended by Sen. Alexander Wiley
when he announced an amend-
ment to revise the cut-off date -
in the present DP Act.
The new measure would move
up the eligibility date from Dec.
22, 1945, to Jan. 1, 1949, thus in-
cluding 135,000 refugees classi-
fied as DP's by the International
Refugee Organization but barred
from the United States under
present statutes: Sen. Wiley said
his amendment covers 40,000 to
45,000 DP's, mostly Jews, who.
entered Allied occupied zones of
Germany from - Poland and other
countries between April, 1947,
and December, 1948.
Although he did not introduce
the recommendation as a pro-
posed amendment, the Senator
called for screening out "not
only those individuals who might
favor overthrow of the Ameri-
can form of government but.
those individuals who actively
participated in political, racial,
or religious persecution.;' Sen.
Wiley's office explained that def-
inition of the phrase, "active par-
ticipation in persecution," would
be left to the State Department.
Approval of the amendment
has been publicly expressed by
the Citizens Committee on Dis-
placed Persons and other groups
which have been striving to re-
vise the cut-off date. The re-
vision favors Polish Jews who
fled Poland after the war to the
American and British zones in
order to escape postwar Polish
pogroms.
Other recommendations made
by Sen. Wiley, which will later
be made as amendments, his of-
fice said, are to: 1. Increase the
number of 'DPs to be admitted to
the U. S. to 400,000 over a four-
year period; 2. Repeal the pro-
vision mortgaging future immi-
gration quotas; 3. Eliminate the
requirement for jobs and housing
assurances and substitute provi-
sion that the DPs will not be-
come public charges; 4. Eliminate
all discrimination because of
race, religion, or national origin'
in the current -DP law; 5. Repeal
the rigid 30 per cent priority for
agricultural workers.

Western Hemisphere Delegate
Of Israel Treasury Named
NEW YORK (JTA)—The ap-
pointment of Dr. Martin Rosen
blue.th as representative for the
Western Hemisphere of the Treas-
ury of Israel cvas announced by
Eliezer Kaplan, Israeli Minister
of Finance, prior to his return to
Tel Aviv.
Footnotes on History .
History repeats itself . . . In 1921 Weizmann combined with the
leader of the non-Zionists, Louis Marshall, against Louis D. Bran--
deis . . . Today Weizmann has the support of Edward Warburg and
Governor Lehman against Abba Hillel Silver.
According to all indications the State Department has not
changed its attitude toward Israel . . . If Israel insists on the Negev
no concessions will be made on Galilee . . . Forrestal has changed
. . . He' recognizes Israel's military prowess . .
The French and Turkish members of the UN Palestine Concilia-
tion Commission will insist on the internationalization of Jerusalem
• . . In recent years the Young-Turkish conception of transforming
Turkey into a secular state along the Western pattern has been
abandoned , .. Teaching of the Koran has been introduced in Tur-
key's schools .. . Once more Turkey aims at being a great Moham-
medan power . . . It will be a feather in the cap of Turkey's govern-
ment if it can prevent Jerusalem's incorporation into the state of
Israel ... The.French will be equally persistent ... They have been
ousted from Syria and Lebanon by the British . . . They would like
to stage a comeback via Jerusalem . . . But Israel's military success
will weigh in Iirael's favor . . .
Future historians will compare Ben Gurion with General Wash-
ington. .. .
President Weizmann has declined the offer to fly to the U.S. in
President Truman's plane, the Sacred Cow .. . His physicians are
opposed to a long air trip . . . They don't mind his going by air to
Europe and from there by ship to the U S His visit is not
entirely certain . . .
Despite recognizing Israel the British have prevented its ad-
mission to the International Wheat Conference . . . Their contention
was that all-Arab states would walk out if Israel were admitted.
