UN Examines Israel's Charges
Of Iraq's Maltreatment of Jews
TEL AVIV, (JTA)—The United
Nations Conciliation Commis-
sion on Palestine will examine
Israel char g s of maltreat-
ment by Iraq authorities of Jews
emigrating from Iraq, Ely E.
Palmer, current chairman of the
commission, announced.
The American diplomat ac-
• knowleged receipt of a com-
plaint from Walter Eytan, Di-
rector-General of the Israel
Foreign Ministry, and said that
the commission would examine
this complaint at its next meet-
ing April 23. Dr. Tewfik Rushti
Aras, Turkish member of the
commission, who recently visited
Iraq to discuss. with the Iraq
Government proposals for re-
settlement in Iraq of Palestine
refugees in exchange for Jews
emigrating to Israel, will attend
this session.
Some 3,000 Jews are now in
Iraqi prisons, awaiting trial on
various charges, Prof. Ezra Had-
dad, noted Hebrew scholar and
teacher reported here today fol-
lowing his arrival from Baghdad.
He said that all the Jewish
schools in Iraq had been closed.
The scholar estimated that Jew-
ish property valued at 100,000,-
000 pounds ($280,000,000) had
been frozen by the Iraq author-
ities thus far. The Alien Proper-
ty Custodian, he said, had no-
tified wealthy Jews now travel-
ling abroad that unless they re-
turn to Iraq within two months,
their property would be frozen.
Prof. Haddad declared that a
total of 108,000 Jews had regis-
tered for emigration to Israel.
About 30,000 others, he said had
elected to retain their Iraq cit-
izenship. Most of these, he said,
were wealthy persons who elect-
ed to remaiff to protect their in-
terests. The 'recent widespread
hostility displayed by the Iraq
authorities, however, he said,
and the threat of further anti-
Jewish leg,islation, had convinc-
ed many of these people that it
would be futile for them to re-
main in Iraq. They now place all
their hopes, he added, on being
taken out of Iraq to Israel even
at the cost of loss of their
wealth.
Iraqi newspapers reaching
here predict the imminent proc-
lamation of a new law empow-
ering the MiniSter of Interior to
expel "every undesirable Jew
who endangers Iraq's security,"
it was reported here today. The

Bnai Brith to Sponsor Five
Institutes on Jewish Leaders
WASHINGTON, D. C. — The
National Committee of Bnai
Brith Institutes of Judaism,
composed of leading Jewish edu-
cators, announced that there
would be at least five and pos-
sibly nine Institutes of Judaism
under Bnai Brith auspices
throughout the country this year.
The Institutes, three or four
day summer, adult meetings at
camps or mountain resorts, will
be held under the auspices of
Districts 1, 5, 6, 7 and by the
Bnai Brith of Indiana.
Friday, April 20, 1951
Interior having such vast dis-
cretionary powers are viewed in
Jewish circles with the utmost
concern. It is feared that the
Iraq authorities will discrimi-
nate freely against Jews, par-
ticularly wealtlik land owners
whose property will then be con-
fiscated.
