Asks Congress Hurry:
Lipsky Urges More
U.S. Aid for Israel
In Mutual Defense
WASHINGTON—(AJP)—Sped
by an assassination which rock-
ed the entire Middle and Near
EaSt, Administration spokesmen_
urged Congress to hurry the
proposed 540 million U. S. mili-
tary and economic assistance
earmarked for the Middle East
and Africa.
Administration pleas followed
the introduction before t h e
Committee on Foreign Affairs of
the House of Representatives by
leading Zionist spokesmen who
went on record declaring that
the proposed program "does not
provide adequately for the area
as a whole and for Israel in par-
ticular."
Zionist spokesmen led by Louis
Lipsky, chairman of the Ameri-
can Zionist Council, presented
Israel's case before the Con-
gressional body.
As Americans," Lipsky as-
serted, "we are vitally concerned
with the organization of the
democratic forces who opposed
totalitarian aggression. Israel's
resourcefulness and stamina
and courage give it an oppor-
tunity to establish at least one
factor in the Middle East which,
on its own merits, may be re-
lied upon."
Others substantiating Lipsky's
brief were Dr. Joseph Schwartz,
executive vice president of the
United Jewish Appeal and Rob-
ert R. Nathan, Jewish Agency
economic expert.
Dr. Schwartz gave a detailed
description of Israel's immigra-
tion program which has brought
more than 640,000 immigrants
into the new State in the course
of three years.
Robert Nathan, economist, an-
alyzed Israel's economic posi-
tion, pointing out that the peo-
ple of Israel had made out-
standing economic progress in
the past decade and that the
State would today be self-suffi-
cient if not for its gigantic im-
migration program.
Rep. Joseph W. Martin, Jr.,
Minority Leader of the House,
one of the authors of the bill
to grant $150,000,000 to Israel,
submitted a statement to the
Committee in which he declared
that assistance to Israel is in
the interests of the United
states.
Representative Jacob Javits of
New York submitted a declara-
tion, signed by 163 members of
the House, in support of a $150,-
000,000 grant to Israel.
Meanwhile, appearing before
the same body, George C. Mc-
Ghee, Assistant Secretary of
State, told Congressional leaders
that "events in the Middle East
are moving rapidly" and that
"the United States cannot af-
ford the forces of neutralism
and anti-Western sentiment to
gain any further ground nor to
allow these forces to be cap-
tured and exploited by Inter-
national Communism."
Survey Reveals JDC Aided 10% in 20 Nations
On the Record
Friday, July 27, 1951
More than one of every 10
Jews living in over 20 countries
outside the Western Hemisphere
received the direct welfare aid
of the Joint Distribution Com-
mittee during 1950, in addition
to tens of thousands of others
who received JDC emigration
assistance, the fifth annual edi,
tion of the JDC Statistical Ab-
stract, published this week, re-

Notes on Germany
Cyrus L. Sulzberger in the New York Times of July 16 reports
that the American Jewish Committee sent analysts to survey tha
situation in Germany after Dr. Adenauer had attributed the gains
of the neo-Nazis to economic distress.
Says Sulzberger: They reported that, to the contrary, the
Socialist Reich party seemed to be stronger among moderately
prosperous Protestant farmers and concluded that "the Reich is
apparently again ready for a new nationalist party, provided that
this party is well organized and bold enough to operate openly on
the basis of Nazi doctrine."
Throughout his dispatch, Sulzberger emphasized that the neo-
Nazis are not only anti-Communists but also anti-U.S. He reveals
the interesting fact that the neo-Nazis attack the German gen-
erals who are consulting with the Allies about German rearming
as "collaborationists."
It is not only the Committee's Jewish, but its patriotic duty as
well, in view of the findings of its own analysts, to warn public
opinion, Congress and our government against the rearmament
of Germany.
On May 6, the very day the neo-Nazis rolled up 11% of the
vote in Lower Saxony, the Executive Committee of the American
Jewish Committee adopted a declaration favoring the admission
of Germany to the "family of democratic nations."
Does the Committee still adhere to this position? The Jewish
community is entitled to a clear statement of policy.
*
to some 284,000 men, women and
children in 22 countries of Eur-
ope, Africa and Asia, the study
indicates, out of an estimated
Jewish population in those areas
of 2,618,130.
In addition, JDC aided 174,917
to emigrate to new homes, the
vast majority of them to Israel,
with smaller numbers leaving
for the United States, Australia,
Canada and Latin America.

The American Jewish Congress has in its possession documents
signed by Artukovic proving the criminal role he played in solving
Croatia's Jewish problem through extermination. The former
Minister of Justice in the Nazi puppet state of Croatia, who is
fighting extradition to Yugoslavia as a war criminal, is now seeking
permanent shelter in the U.S. as a political refugee "from com-
munism." If the State Department is really anxious to learn the
gruesome facts about the scoundrel all it has to do is to secure
the testimony of witnesses to his crimes. And if it wants the
witnesses they can be secured through the AJC, whose files contain
a number of irrefutable' documents and affidavits. But the truth
of the matter is that the State Department has shown no disposi-
ion to ferret out the evidence. In fact, and I have it on excellent
authority, an attorney or investigator for the State Department
was to have interviewed witnesses and examined the AJC docu-
ments as long ago as last week. The investigator never showed
up. If the State Department is interested—I have arranged to
interview some of the witnesses and I hope to give their story in
the next column if they are not frightened away from seeing me.

The municipality of Bremen recently dismissed seven police-
men because they repeatedly sang the Horstwessel song while on
duty. The policemen sued the ,city for reinstatement. They won
reinstatement to their jobs and their back salaries. This attempt
to curb Nazism cost the city 28,000 marks. This case throws light
on the status of justice and democracy in Germany . Drew
Pearson recently predicted that Victor Paz Estensoro, the Bolivian
Nazi leader, will take over the government by force not later than
Sept. 1. Pearson claims that a good. part of the army and about
70% of the officers are backing Estensoro . . . According to S.
Wiesenthal,- in the Aufbau, there is a secret Nazi fund totalling
many millions out of which Nazi activities in various countries are
being financed. The evidence he marshalls is quite convincing .
Any notion that German divisions can be created as co-equals in
Western Europe's armies and, at the same time, -that the creation
of a new German general staff can be avoided is "preposterously
unrealistic." So say, according to ONA's correspondent Ernest
Leiser, the top military men in West Germany today.
