Histadrut Delegates Adopt
$10,000,000 National Goal
NEW YORK (JTA)—A $10,-
000,000 campaign for Histadrut
was proclaimed here at the 26th
annual convention of The Na-
tional Committee for Labor Is-
rael attended by more than 3,000
delegates from 250 cities in the
United States, Canada, and La-
tin America.
In an address to the • conven-
tion, Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem
Reuben Shreibman asserted that
three Arab states are vitally in-
terested in concluding a peace
treaty with Israel, but that they
are unable to do so because of
unstable internal conditions. He
stated that the lack of peace is
affecting a significant part of
the economy of these states,
which, he said, depend to a great
extent on pilgrims and tourists.
M e i r Grabowsky, majority
leader in the Knesset, asserted
that Israel was aware of activi-
ties within the Arab states and
that &he -would rely soley on her
own strength insofar as security
for the country at large or Jeru-
salem is concerned. Mr. Grabow-
sky also lashed out at the Soviet
Union, the countries of Eastern
Europe, and the Arab states for
their restricting the emigration
of Israel-bound Jews.
Mayor William O'Dwyer at a
luncheon of the American Trade
Union Council for Histadrut; de-
clared his opposition to the Am-
erican-supported UN plan for
the internationalization of Jeru-
salem declaring that any sug-
gestion that the UN could ad-
minister a city as large as Jeru-
salem "just does not in a k e
sense." The convention received
messages hailing ;Histadrut's
work from President Truman
and Israel President Weizmann.

THE JEWISH NEWS-19 Greenstein Report Warns
Friday, December 2, 1949
Of German Anti-Semitism
JWB Prepares Prayer
Cards for VA Chaplains
Jewish. Restitution
Claims in Billions
WASHINGTON, (JTA) =Harry
Greenstein, retiring adviser on
Jewish affairs to U.S. authorities
in Germany, now returned to
the United States, warned of
continued strong anti-Jewish
sentiment among Germans in
the official report on his mis-
sion. Greenstein was welcomed
back to Baltimore at a celebra-
tion in his honor sponsored by
the Associated Jewish Charities
and the Jewish Welfare Fund.
He has been executive director
of both for 20 years.
NEW YORK—The first four in
a projected series of prayer-
cards for use by Jewish chap-
lains at the bedside of physical-
ly disabled and mentally ill Jew-
ish patients in military and
Veterans Administration Hospi-
tals have been published and
distributed to the 218 Jewish
chaplains associated -- with the
Davison, of Religious Activities,
of the National Jewish Welfare
Board (JWB), it has been an-
nounced by Dr. Solomon B. Free-
hof of Pittsburgh, division
chairman.
LONDON—(JTA)—Restitution
JTA)
of heirless and communal prop-
erty in Germany is far more
important for Jewish - public
projects than the combined
value of all Jewish fund-raising
campaigns throughout the world
plus the $100,000,000 American
loan to Israel, Dr. George Lan-
dauer, former director of the
Youth Aliyah movement in Is-
rael, declared here. He estimated
that the restitution claims in
the western zones of Germany
alone total three to four billion
marks.
He revealed that the first res-
titution claims have already
been paid in the American zone
because of the efforts of the
Jewish Restitution Successor Or-
ganization.
The most favorable solution of
the problem, he suggested, would
be a lump sum settlement by
the German Government, in-
stead of lengthy court proceed-
ings.
MUNICH = (JTA)—The slow-
down of payment of indemnifi-
cation claims to Jewish victims
of the Nazis by the various pro-
vincial German governments in
the United States zone is re-
sponsible for a decrease in the
number of Jews immigrating to
Lsreal from Germany, Dr. Eliahu
Liwneh-Liebstein, Israel consul
here, declared.
Dr. Liebstein laid particular
emphasis for the delay -in Ba-
varia on the provincial Restitu-
tion Office, headed by Dr. Philip
Auerbach. The Israel consul
said that Dr. Auerbach had told
the DPs that he will use resti-
tution funds, particularly those
available from heirless Jewish
property, to obtain German-
made prefabricated houses for
Israel. Dr. Liebstein stated flat-
ly that Dr. Auerbach had never
consulted the Israel Government
nor received its approval for
such a scheme.

General Taylor Reveals
Failure of Denazification
WASHINGTON, (JTA) — Brig.
Gen. Telford Taylor, chief U. S.
Army prosecutor at the Nurem-
berg war crime trials, admitted
that the denazification program
in Germany has failed and that
Nazi criminals who extermin-
ated millions of Jews have not
been punished.
He reported to the Secretary
of the Army that there is in
Germany "an alarming resur-
gence of authoritarianism." The
prevailing trend and climate of
political opinion in Germany
makes it "quite unlikely" that
the German authorities will
eagerly pursue the task of
bringing Nazis to justice, he
stated.
