Jewish Organizations Blast NEC Head
As Promotor of Veiled Hate Campaign
Merwin K. Hart and his Na-
tional Economic Council were
denounced by six major Jewish
organizations which warned
that Hart is financing "a many-
sided program of hate-monger-
ing" with funds contributed by
Americans who are under the
mistaken impression they are
thus helping to combat Com-
munism.
The statement was occasioned
by the appearance in recent
weeks of paid advertisements in

TEL AVIV — Elsa Trenk, 26
year-old recent immigrant to
Israel, was ordered Tuesday to
stand trial before a district court
on charges of crimes against
humanity in 1944 when she
served as a supervisory guard
in the Nazi death camp at
Oswiecim.
Her trial was ordered by a
magistrate who, after prelim-
inary hearings over a period of
several weeks, decided that there
was enough evidence against
the woman to warrant her be-
ing tried. Among the various
crimes of which she was accused
by former concentration camp
inmates now living in Israel was
that she once ordered 800 women
prisoners to kneel on a concrete
floor for several hours.
ADL Issues Appeal
To Watch Solicitors
Several persons in Detroit
have been approached by a so-
licitor for subscriptions to a
magazine which allegedly does
anti-defamation work. In mak-
ing the solicitations a photo-
static copy from Bnai Brith' is
often exhibited to indicate that
Bnai Brith approves of the
magazine in question.
ADL does not solicit funds ex-
cept through the Joint Defense
Appeal, which in turn receives
its allocation from the Federa-
tion. Anyone being approached
to subscribe to a magazine which
by implication represents itself
as being a part of the Anti-
Defamation League of Bnai
Brith is urged to check immedi-
ately with the ADL office WO.
