Soviet Writer Attacks
Jewish Theater Plays

MOSCOW, (JTA) — "Rootless
cosmopolitanism kowtowing be-
fore elements abroad has found
direct expression in the produc-
tions of the Jewish Theater,"
Petrus Brovka, secretary gener-
al of the Bielorussian Writers
Union, charged at the Writers
Congress now in session in
Minsk.
Brovka asserted that the
plays of the Jewish Theater
"praised bourgeois America as
the promised land." He stated
that "Bielorussia has successful-
ly liquidated the influence of
rootless cosmopolitans, bourgeois
nationalists and formalists who
had kowtowed before the bour-
geois West."

Mizrachi Leader Wins
Hungarian Acquital

BUDAPEST, (JTA) — Jenoe
Fraenkl, Mizrachi leader charged
with aiding illegal Jewish emi-
gration from Hungary to Israel,
was acquitted by a Budapest
court. Fraenkl was the only one
of ten defendants charged with
the same crime who was not
tried last Saturday when six
Zionist leaders and one non-Jew
were convicted.
The prosecutor has already
appealed the court's decision in
the Fraenkl case. Fraenkl plead-
ed not guilty and told the court
that he had no knowledge of the
plans to migrate because the
youth arranged these matters by
themselves, having "no confi-
dence in their elders." He said
that he only knew of a list of
800 Zionist leaders which was
to be submitted to the govern-
ment with a request that the
