Swiss Plan to Give
Poland Heirless
Jewish Property-
NEW YORK
(JTA) — The
Swiss and Polish governments
have reached agreement calling
for the former to turn over to
Poland heirless property of Po-*
lisp Jews on deposit in Swiss
banks and other institutions, the
New York Times reported from
Geneva. The report said Jew-
ish sources estimate the amount
of property involved to be be-
tween $5,000,00 and $50,000,000.
Worldwide JeWish organizations
and the Swiss Jewish community
are objecting strongly to the
agreement, contained in an ex-
change of letters on June 25,
1949, when a Swiss-Polish trade
pact was signed. The agreement
has not been ratified by the
Swiss parliament. If the Swiss
legislature ratifies the agree-
ment, the funds will be used to
indemnify Swiss nationals who
sustained losses in Poland when
that government nationalized its
economy.
Under an Allied declaration of
June 1946, the Times article
pointed out, the property of
heirless victims of the Nazis
should be turned over to the In-
ternational Refugee Organiza-
tion for rehabilitating refugees
belonging to the same groupings
as the victims. In May, 1946, the
Swiss Government expressed it-
self as sympathetic to this prin-
ciple.
One of the major problems
raised by this pact, Jewish
groups fear, will be the estab-
lishment of a precedent which
may apply to all heirless prop-
erty held in Switzerland. The
Swiss say that the legal basis
for their decision is a Swiss law
of 1891 declaring that movable
property of foreigners who die
intestate must be disposed of
according to the laws of the
country of which the property
owner was a national. A corn-
mittee of eminent jurists, asked
by the Swiss Jewish community
to study the problem, came to
the conclusion that no Swiss law
covers this case.
The Swiss have announced
that under the terms of the
agreement claims may be filed
for recovery of the property up
to five years from ratification
of the pact, a longer period than
would normally be allowed un-
der Swiss law.

The Jews of Israel, celebrating Hanukah, will find in
spiration in this Menorah which graces a hillside settlement
near Jerusalem, founded recently with contributions made by
American Jewry to the United Jewish Appeal. The Menorah,
fashioned of helmets used by Israel troops in the Arab war,
is near the site where Judas Maccabeus celebrated the defeat
more than 2,000 years ago of the Greek Assyrians led by An-
tiochus. UJA general chairman Henry Morgenthau, Jr., in a
Hanukah message to American Jewry, has asked that Jews in
this country celebrate the Feast of Lights with advance gifts
to the 1950 UJA campaign.

vision.

Absorbing Stories
Howard Fast is in his best
style in his new book, "De-
parture and Other Stories"—a
collection of 19 short stories
each of which is certain to ab-
sorb the reader's attention.
Published by .Little, Brown &
Co., (34 Beacon St., Boston 6),
his stories contain the same
power which made "My Glorious
Brothers," "Citizen Tom Paine,"
"The American" and his other
works stand out as challenges
to the best spirit of humanity.
Fast covers many fields—the
battlefronts of the Abraham
Lincoln Brigade (to whom he
dedicates his book) ; a woman's
heroic stand to save her child
("The Old Wagon") and her
courage which led to the clean-.
ing up of a gang-ridden town;
the story of a boy who was
denied the Congressional Medal
of Honor because he had pre-
viously fought for freedom, but
who nevertheless died a hero's
death saving the lives of others
("An Epitaph for Sidney") and
tales about laborers, writers,
Jews and others.
Some of the tales are depress-
ing, others uplifting in the spirit
of their passion for pugtice. All
are in the best style of the great
writer whose research for the
right dominates all his works.

A simplified heater control
which permits the driver to "pick
his weather" by moving two hor-
izontally operated levers on an
illuminated dial, is a feature of
the 1950 Ford passenger cars,
equipped with "Magic Air"
weather control.
- To provide even more heat
and better defrosting, a higher
speed motor has been added to
the Ford "Magic Air" heater, in-
creasing the air flow 25 per cent.

Over 40,000 persons were
stricken with infantile paralysis
during the record-breaking epi-
demic of 1949. Twenty-five per-
cent were adults.
This little victim is a symbol
of the thousands who need help.
The National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis spent ap-
proximately $31,000,000 in March
of Dimes funds for the care of
infantile paralysis patients last
year. In Wayne County alone,
$2,000 a day is being sp3nt on
the needs of polio patients.
