Histadrut to Establish
Factories for Immigrants
Clash of Munich Jews, Police Revealed
Sharp Tension Still Evident in Germany
A first-hand description of
the recent clash between Mu-
nich Jews and German police is
included in a letter to Dr. Wil-
ham Haber of Ann Arbor, for-
mer adviser on Jewish affairs to
the United States military gov-
ernment, from his brother Sam
Haber, who is now in Germany.
The clash occurred as a result
of a demonstration by a group
of Jews against a letter to the
editor appearing in the "Sud-
deutsche .Zeitung." Signed
Adolph Bleibtreu, the letter was
a "vicious filthy piece of Nazi
propaganda, stating that the
only objections the Americans,
with whom he was • acquainted,
had to the Germans was that
they had failed to exterminate
all the Jews."
Haber's letter continues:
"At about 10:30 a.m., a sud-
den, terrific unbelievable cry
from the street,. just below my
office, led me to rush to the
window and there I saw German
police on horseback charging in-
to a marching crowd. From no-
where rocks and stones began to
fly through the air .. .
"A block away, German police
murderously shot into people
running away, three of whom
were shot in the back, and two
on the side. Altogether seven
Jews were taken to the hospital,
but I am glad to say now, almost
a week later, that no fatalities
resulted. I was told some 30 po-
licemen landed in hospital for
treatment . . .
"At the beginning of the riot
I went to the Central Commit-
tee and there telephoned to the
Provost Marshal pleading for the
military to come out. But the
Provost Marshal told me that
he cannot send the MPs out
n less Military Government
asked him to do so. After many
calls to MG, my good friend
Clarence Bolds, (Deputy Mili-
tary Governor) agreed to release
the troops. At five minutes to
one the military were on Mohl-
strasse.
" ... Van Wagoner, whose role
in the demonstration is not too
clear, issued a letter to the press
addressed to Adolph Bleibtreu
in which he denounced vigor-
ously Bleibtreu and all that he
and his thinking represent. All
in all it served to bring out the
sharp tension which exists be-
tween the Germans and the
Jews and with which Military
Government must reckon wheth-
er they like it or not.
" • . I will never forget the
horrible look in the eyes of the
German policemen with their
hands on their revolvers as they
were marching in the direction
of the Jews. I did not have to be
in a concentration camp to see
once again the German spirit
. . Politically it has had a
good effect, and as such I
believe has accomplished a defi-
nitely valuable contribution. It
woke up the military to a basic
issue. It told the Germans that
there is a problem which they
cannot easily resolve, and finally
it gave the Jews themselves a
feeling of solidarity in the event
future trouble ... Tragic though
this may be, the fact is that the
Jews in large number are here
to stay, and black though their
future may be in this land, of
nationalism, terror and neo-
fascism, they intend to continue
to remain here'.

TEL AVIV—Histadrut has an-
nounced the completion of plans
to establish factories in those
cities and towns in Israel where
there is a concentration of new
immigrants in order to provide
the newcomers with useful em-
ployment as quickly as possible.
Plans call for the establishment
of Histadrut factories specifi-
cally at Lydda, Ramleh and
other centers.
The Histadrut has enlarged its
"Special Construction Fund," to
enable new immigrants to pur-
chase tools and establish new
cooperatives to 490,000 Israeli
pounds-41,470,000 in American
currency. This fund was set up
in collaboration with the Israeli
Government and the Jewish
Agency.
