Strict Judaism in USSR
Is Practiced Secretly

On the Record

.

NEW YORK — (JTA) — Soviet
Jews who wish to practice their
religion in strict conformance
with its rules and free from
secret police surveillance must
do so clandestinely, the Ameri-
can Jewish Committee declared
in a report based on interviews
with people who have fled the
USSR. The AJC said that these
accounts indicate that Ortho-
dox Jews carry on what is vir-
tually an underground religion
apart from the recognized Jew-
ish religious institutions.
The AJC report also states
that despite the legal Soviet ban
against anti-Semitism, the ma-
terial available indicates that it
is still a strong force in the
Soviet poplation. Latent before
World War II, it broke into the
open during the conflict, the
report quotes refugees.

Dr. Marcus Dies

NEW YORK, (JTA)—Dr. Rob-
ert Marcus, political director of
the World Jewish Congress, died
here after a short illness. He
was 41 years old. Born in Jer-
sey City, he was graduated from
the College of the City of New
.York, and was ordained as a
rabbi after graduation from the
Yeshiva University. He served
as a chaplain in the U. S. Army
for more than three years in
World War II. He became the
political director of the World
Jewish Congress in 1948. Pre-
viously, he was with the Amer-
ican Jewish Congress and with
the Joint Anti-Nazi Boycott
Committee.

Facts and Figures

About 4,000,000 Jews migrated from one continent to another
in the past hundred years and, up to the first World War, the
United States absorbed about 90 per cent of them. These inter-
esting figures on Jewish peregrinations were disclosed by D. Ilya
Dijour at the annual meeting of the Yiddish Scientific Institute.
During the same period Palestine absorbed about four per cent
of the immigration stream. Between the years 1925, when strict
quota laws were established in the United States, and 1945 Pal-
estine showed an 80 per cent. absorption rate of the wanderers.
Since the rise of Israel the migration wave had only one direction
—the Jewish state. At -the .saine time the demographic character,
of Israel has been undergoing a marked chance in consequence
of the huge influx of Oriental Jews. In 1948 Oriental Jews con-
stituted 10 per cent of the general Jewish population in Israel.
In 1950 the percentage rose to 30.

A Trend

The Israeli bond campaign is drawing some of the top com-
munity executives in the country. Latest reported joining the
sales organization is Ben Rosenberg, executive director of the St.
Paul community. He will probably head the Chicago bond cam-
paign.

Turning Back Pages

The late Jacob Aaronson, one of the Grand Central brains,
was not a boastful man. But he could never resist telling his
gentile friends and admirers that he owed his sharp head to
Jewish heredity. The Aaronsons were said to stem from the
Gaon of Vilna.
Some 10 years ago Bernard G. Richards interviewed Sinclair
Lewis. The famous novelist said then that if he were a Jew he
would be an assimilationist and an anti-Zionist. He was more
positive however in the approach of defending Jewish rights.
"Personally," he said, "I would favor the aggressive stand," add-
ing "You've got to hit back pretty hard when on the other side
you have so much arrogance, so much downright chutzpah."

A Universal Tongue

The European branch of the Metro-Goldwyn company re-
cently held a conference in London. Participating were repre-
sentatives of 18 countries. Most of them were Jews. Sam Eck-
man, London director of Metro-Goldwyn, was to chair the meeting
but he was troubled how to surmount the language obstacle since
the delegates were from different countries. Finally he hit upon
a bright idea. He began speaking Yiddish-. • And the miracle hap-
pened. The delegates who called themselves French and Spanish
and Italian and so forth suddenly began conversing in Yiddish.
When the meeting was over the executives lauded Eckman for
his brilliant idea and spent an evening with him at a wine cellar
singing Yiddish folk songs. Since there is a Yiddish saying "at
kein meise fergt men nit kein frages," I will not endeavor .to
speculate what happened to the goyim.

A Novel Suggestion

By way of compensating Jews for the . physical - and moral
sufferings they underwent through centuries at Christian hands,
the noted French poet Paul Claudell suggests that the Christian
world help reconstitute the ancient Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.
The former French Ambassador to the United States makes the
suggestion in a recently published book entitled "Voice from
Jerusalem."

"I will discuss these matters
at greater length later on dur-
ing my stay here," the scholar-
statesman asserted, "But for
the present I want to make as
clear as my powers permit the
fact that every Jewish man and
woman in Israel is grateful to
the great American people and
to their wonderful leader, Presi-
dent Truman, under whose
leadership they provided the
help and support - which enabled
our state to emerge from its
infancy and become indepen-
dent. We will never forget
President Truman for his hu-
manitarian concern over our
development nor the American
people for their rallying to our
aid in our most difficult mo-
ments."
