German Town Elects Nazi Official,
London Crowds Heckle Anti-Semite

NEW YORK — Although the
Joint Distribution Committee
ended its relief and assistance
activities in severs countries in
1949, the agency aided more
than 600,000 Jews overseas last
year and estimates that 500,000
in distressed areas still require
its help, according to the 1949
JDC annual report, just pub-
lished.
The progress achieved in re-
storing Jews abroad and help-
ing them to emigrate made it
possible for JDC, which receives
it• principal funds from the
United Jewish Appeal, to with-
draw voluntarily from Bulgaria,
Cyprus, Luxembourg and Yugo-
slavia. Also during the year the
agency terminated programs in
Romania, Poland and Czecho-
slovakia, at the order of those
governments.

British Police Halt
Mosley Aide's Meeting
LONDON—For the second time
in as many weeks hostile crowds
Monday forced British police to
halt a public meeting in Man-
chester at which Geoffrey
Hamm, Mosley Lieutenant, was
scheduled to speak. -
Hamm, a notorious Jew-baiter,
makes most of his speeches in
and .around Manchester. His re-
ception in the small provincial
towns in the region has gener-
ally been hostile. Nowhere does
he succeed in attracting more
than the smallest audiences. The
Manchester meeting was stopped
after 20 minutes of constant
heckling from the audience. ,

Garreau' Shows Pessimism
Jerusalem Situation
LAKE SUCCESS—Roger Gar-
reau, president of the UN Trus-
teesip Council, said that he ex-
pects this week a memorandum
from the Israel government pre-
senting Israel's views on the
Council's statute for internation-
alizing Jerusalem.
He added that he understood
that the memo, while rejecing
the statute for Jerusalem adopt-
ed by the Trusteeship Council. in
Geneva, contains counterpro-
posals "of a very conciliatory
nature."
Garreau also said that no sim-
ilar response had been received
from King Abdullah of Jordan
and that he expected none, a
fact which he considered "ex-
tremely discouraging and incor-
rect." The Trusteeship Council,
at its last session in Geneva, had
requested observations on the
statute from the two govern-
ments.-
As a result of the rejection of
the statute by Israel and Jor-
dan, Garreau felt that the Coun-
cil, at its sessions commencing
June 1, would be powerless to
take any steps towards imple-;
mentation of the instrument,
and would therefore probably
pass the problem on to the UN
General Assembly for consider-
ation.

In

the surrounding region, as well
as prominent guests from Jerus-
alem and Tel Aviv who partici-
pated in the celebration, heard
the Israel premier's plea. Ben
Gurion reminded the Soviet
government that it had promised
freedom and equality for all
peoples but said it is not carry-
ing out this promise as far as
the, Jews of the USSR are con-
cerned.
The Jews of Soviet Russia, he
said, do not enjoy their own
schools nor do they have Hebrew
or Yiddish newspapers. He said
there is no discrimination in the
Soviet Union but expressed the
opinion that the Soviet govern-
ment does not understand the
special character of the Jewish
problem.
Emphasizing that Israel is de-
termined not to give up the right
of every Jew to come to the Jew-
ish state, Ben Gurion addressed
himself to the Jews of the Soviet
Union, declaring "your hopes are
our hopes. They are constantly
present in our minds." He urged
the Soviet government to permit
the emigration of those Jews
who wish to go to Israel to par-
ticipate in the country's recon-
struction "exactly as did the
first Afikim pioneers who came
from Russia."

U.S. Groups to Attend
World Hebrew.Cultural
Congress in Jerusalem

History's first World Hebrew
Cultural Congress, scheduled
for July 24 in Jerusalem, will
attract delegates of national or-
ganizations and institutions of
higher learning from all over
the United States.
The Congress, under the hon-
orary chairmanship of Dr.

world. Included are Hebrew

gress, Hebrew World Union,

American Histadruth Ivrith
stresses that the Congress will
be non-political in its delibera-
tions, concerning itself mainly
with the mobilization of creat-
ive forces in the Jewish com-
munities throughout the world
to solidify a movement to pro-
mote the Hebrew language and
culture.
- In Detroit the initial project
has been launched by Hebrew
Teachers Organization of Unit-

Entitled "The Year of De-
liverance," the report discloses
that in 1949 the JDC appropri-
ated $59,745,000 for oa three-fold
program of relief, reconstruc-
tion and resettlement for Jews
in 26 countries in Europe, North
Africa and the Orient. Accounts
of the agency's work are given
by Edward M. M. Warburg,
chairman; Moses A. Leavitt, ex-
ecutive vice chairman, and 'Dr.
Joseph J. Schwartz, director
general of JDC's overseas oper-
ations.
Warburg states that the or-
ganization aided a record 240,;.'
000 Jews of Europe and other
areas to reach new homes, prin-
cipally in Israel. He lists this
as the JDC's outstanding 1949
achievement. Nearly 300,000
persons received relief aid
