Archbishop in Israel Reports
Improving Arab-Jewish Relations

NEW YORK, (JTA)—The New York Times reported from
Haifa that Archbishop George Hakim of the Greek Catholic
Church said that in spite of recriminations and friction, re-
lations between the Israelis and 175,000 Arabs who live in
Israel were improving.
Newspapers and political leaders who one year ago de-
nounced him for voicing Arab grievances are now more will-
ing, he said, to recognize that many grievances are real and
to seek solutions for the Arab's problems.
Archbishop Hakim, the only Arab among high-ranking
Christian churchmen in Israel, is the most articulate of the
Arab leaders in the country. In 1948 he fled the country
along with other Arabs but was later allowed to return from
Lebanon to head his church group. This church, which
recognizes the Pope, now has 15,000 followers in Israel and is
beginning to rival the Greek Orthodox Church. There are
about 40.000 Christians of all denominations in Israel.

Illegal' Returnees to West Germany
On Sit Down Strike Against Deportation

MUNICH, (JTA)—About 200
Jewish men, women and chil-
dren from the Foehrenwald
camp for displaced Jews— the
only remaining Jewish DP camp
in Germany—occupied the local
offices of the Joint Distributioh
Committee in a desperate bid
to avert forcible deportation
from West Germany with which
they have been threatened be-
cause they came to Germany as
"illegal returnees."
The displaced Jews affected
originally planned to go on a.
hunger strike. However, they
changed their plans and de-
cided on a' "sit-down strike" in
order to draw public attention
to their plight. They belong to a
group of hundreds of former
Jewish DP's who returned from
Israel 'and. other countries to
Germany without valid visas
and residence permits in the
hope of being able to emigrate
from here to the United States,
Canada and other countries in
the Western hemisphere.

The Bavarian State Com-
missioner for refugees, Prof.
Theodor Oberlaender, who was
a high ranking leader of the
Nazi Storm Troops during the
Hitler regime, has repeatedly
announced that he would
crack down on these "illegals"
many of whom have found
shelter in the Foehrenwald
camp. Three Polish Jews who
had come to Germany from
Israel via Austria were de-
ported.

The demonstration was pre-
cipitated by the fact that an-
other 12 "illegals" now held in
Stadelheim prison were sched-
uled for deportation to Austria
this week. Thanks to the inter-
vention of Jewish organizations
in Bonn and Munich the depor-
tations were halted temporarily.
The Bavarian Minister of In-
terior, Dr. Wilhelm Hoegner,
who is Prof. Oberlaender's su-
perior, has promised that no
Jewish DP's will be expelled
from Bavaria until consultations
have been held with the highest
German authorities in Bonn.
The wives of about 40 Jews
who have been arrested for "il-
legal entry" to West Germany
appealed to the Jewish com-
munity here to secure the re••
lease of their husbands, most of
whom have returned from Is-
rael to Germany in the hope of
proceeding from here to over-
seas countries.
The Bavarian authorities are
now following a stricter policy
with regard to Jewish "infil-
trees" who enter Germany to

stay in the Jewish DP camp at
Foehrenwald until they are able
to go on to other countries for
permanent settlement. Jewish
refugees, arrested for "illegal
entry," are now being sentenced
to several weeks' imprisonment.

Bavarian officials planned a
thorough investigation of the
camp population following the
sit-down strike, maintaining
that only by drastic mea-
sures can they halt the steady
trickle of Jews, returning to
Germany.

Maurice Weinberger, presi-
dent of the Association of Jew-
ish Communities in Bavaria, in
a press interview said that ex-
ceptionally severe penalties are
being meted out to Jews who re-
turn as "'illegals." Some 80, he
said, are serving six-week jail
sentences.
Of 'the 120,000 Jewish DPs in
Bavaria, he stressed 112,000 have
emigrated and "too much fuss"
has been raised over the few
hundred that have returned
from Israel, where they could
neither adapt themselves nor
find employment.
