tion on the veterans organiza-
tion.

Howe; Ted Lindsay and Marty
Pavelich, Red Wings; George

pointed up the need for new
workers in JWV who will help
carry out the "ambitious pro-
gram we have set for ourselves."
He explained that the activi-
ties include servicing veterans
at military hospitals and posts
in Michigan, helping in USO
arrangements, securing blood
for Korea, promoting the give-
a-gift-to-a-Yank-who-gave and
other programs which benefit
all people regardless of race,

The Rosenberg Case

The 22 Israeli rabbis who forwarded a clemency petition to
President Truman on behalf of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, con-
victed spies, were no doubt moved by the-highest of motives—
mercy. Yet it seems they were guilty of forgetting the Talmudic
adage about sages guarding their words when they counselled the
President that it was unimaginable that "Jews anywhere in the
world, and especially in a glorious country like the United States,
should act against the interests of the state." The fact remains
that the Rosenbergs were convicted after a trial under which they
were given all the safe-guards granted by the Constitution to all
citizens. They were indicted under legal process. They were tried
by a jury of their peers 'and, after conviction, were given every
opportunity of appeal to the highest court. It may have been
questionable wisdom on the part of _the trial judge to have im-
posed so harsh a sentence as death, but that was a matter for
the court to decide and the decision no doubt was made on re-
ports to which the public had no access. Their crime may have
been more serious even than the trial evidence indicated.
I for one have no use for the Rosenbergs and their ilk who
would betray America for strange ideologies. As far as I am con-
cerned they stand convicted of the most reprehensible crime—.
betrayal of country. There are however some extenuating cir-
cumstances though they do not arise from the trial and the evi-
dence. In the first place the crime was committed in a time of
peace and few are the instances where traitors have been execut-
ed under such circumstances. Secondly there are thr parents and
the children of the depraved couple. Thirdly, if the Rosenbergs
have the information the government' has been trying to wring
from them, death will seal their lips forever. And finally, I favor
clemency, as an opponent of capital punishment.
There is no way of knowing how this tragic case will end.
But whether they are spared or executed, the Rosenberg chapter
will remain a black one in the history of the American Jewish
community. The Rosenbergs may go to death in the conviction
they were giving their lives for an ideal. But the ideal they
sought to serve is inimical to the interests and security of our
country and so far as we are concerned they are destined either
to die or live as traitors. By lending their cause to a propaganda
wave' that they were victims of anti-Semitism, the Rosenbergs
alienated whatever sympathy they sought. Though they were in-
human in their betrayal, it seems to us it would be no betrayal
of generosity to spare their contemptible lives.

Acheson Criticizes Nation's Immigration Policy

WASHINGTON, (JTA)—Secre-
tary of State Dean Acheson told
President Truman's Commission
on Immigration and Naturaliza-
tion "that United States immi-
gration policy not only causes re-
sentment, weakening the friend-
ship of some of our \•neighbors,
but also causes or emphasizes
economic dislocations that weak-
en those neighbors whom we
need as strong partners and who
can fUrnish us with sites for
military bases and strategic raw
materials."
The Secretary's assertion was
made in a statement prepared
for the. Commission. He outlined
the kind of immigration policy
the State Department believes
would "help and not hinder us

in reaching the goals of our for-
eign policy." It should be flexi-
ble enough to help in solving
the 'problem of overpopulation in
Europe and the problem of es-
capees from behind the Iron
Curtain.
With reference to the Mc- ,
Carran-Walter Act, Secretary
Acheson said: "America's posi-
tion in the eyes of foreign peo-
ples is deeply affected, and this
is a vitally important point in
the mid-twentieth century world
situation." He pointed out that
the national origins quota sys-
tem and its discriminatory theo-
ry "always derogatory to our
friends, is increasingly at vari-
ance with our protestations of
equality and with our efforts to
encourage mutual trust."
