J ews Facing Communist

Claims of Zionism, Titoism

VIENNA, (JTA)—Twelve Jews
are among 14 Czech government
and Communist Party leaders
who went on trial before the
highest Czechoslovakian court in
Prague on charges of "Zionism,
Titoism and Trotzkyism" and of
serving in the interests of
"American imperialism." The
most prominent Jew among the
defendants is Rudolf Slansky,
former D e p u t y Premier of
Czechoslovakia and one time
secretary general of the Czecho-
slovak Communist Party.
The opening of the trial was
announced by the Prague radio
which said that the prosecution
charged the defendants with
conducting "espionage activities,
weakening of the national unity
and the defense of the Czecho-
slovak. nation in order to sep-
arate Czechoslovakia from the
Soviet Union."
Besides Slansky, the defend-
ants include:

Vlado Clementis, former Czechoslovak
Foreign Minister, who is not a Jew;
Otto Sling, former secretary of the
Communist Party of Brno; Bendrich
Geminder, former deputy secretary gen-
eral' of the Czechoslovak Communist
Party; Lt. Gen. Bendrich Reicin, ex-
Deputy Minister of Defense and chief
of the Czechoslovak intelligence service;
Arthur London, former Deputy Foreign
Minister, Vavro Heidu, former Deputy
Foreign Minister; Joseph Frank, former
deputy secretary general of the Com-
munist Party; Otto Fischel, former Dep-
uty Finance Minister; Ludvik Frejka,
former government economic adviser;
Rudolph Margolius, former Deputy Min-
ister of Foreign Trade; Andre Simon,
one time editor of the Communist Party
newspaper Rude Pravo; Evzen Loebel,
former Deputy Minister of Foreign
Trade; and Karol Svab, ex-security
officer.

Jews in countries behind the
"Iron Curtain" are reported to
be in mortal fear of increased
anti-Jewish propoganda as a re-
sult of the trial of the former
Communist leaders.
Reports reaching here from
Soviet
countries all
indicate that,the Jewish pop-
ulations in those countries are
stunned by the sudden official
outburst of anti-Semitism at
the Prague trial where 12 of
the 14 .defendants are Jews.
The general opinion express-
ed in these reports is that
anti-Semitic elements in all
Communist countries have re-
ceived the green light to in-
dulge in open anti-Jewish. ac-
tivities under the mask of
defending Communism.
Among those cited in the in-
dictment at the Prague trial
were Israel Premier David Ben-
Gurion, Israel Foreign Minister
Moshe Sharett, and Ehud Avriel,
former Israel Minister VI) Czech-
oslovakia. Avriel, who is now di-.
rector general of the Premier's
Office in Israel, is described as
`an American spy covered by the
immunity of Israel diplomatic
passpOrts."
The allegations linking imper-
ialism" are based on the alleged
confessions of two Israel nation-
als who have been under arrest
in Czechoslovakia for many
months. One of them is MOrde-
cai Oren, a leader of the left-
wing Mapam Party in Israel. The
other is Shimson Orenstein, a
former employee in the Israel
legation in Prague.
The Israel Cabinet also dis-
cussed the implications of the
Prague trial. Asked whether Dr.
I. Kubowi, Israel Minister to
Prague, would be recalled as a
result of the slurs at the trial
against Premier Ben-Gurion,
Foreign Minister Moshe Sharett
and former Israel Minister to
Prague Ehud - Avriel, 'a govern-
ment spokesman stated that
there was no intention of re-
calling Dr. Kubowi.

However, the spokesman add-
ed, after the trial the Minister
would probably be asked to re-
turn to Israel to report to the
Cabinet on the trial.
Meanwhile, Foreign Office
officials here ridiculed the '"con-
fessions" of several of the de-
fendants and alleged confes-
sions of Israeli nationals that
Ben-Gurion and Sharett met
with President Truman, Secre-
tary of State Dean Acheson and
former Secretary of the Treas-
ury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., in
Washington in 1947.
In Jerusalem, Jewish Agency
denied "with contempt" the
charges that Zionist leaders
and the Zionist movement were
linked with espionage rings in
the Soviet satelite nations of
East Europe.
