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. .
