NEW YORK, (JTA)—Charges
that anti-Semitism existed on
high government levels in Po-
; land and that three employees
of the Polish legation in War-
saw were framed on espionage
charges so that Poland could
demand the recall of Dr. Arieh
Kubovy, Israel , envoy to Prague,
were made by Josef Swiatlo,
former deputy director of the
Polish security forces, who has
fled to haven in the United
States.
; At a press conference at the
office of the Voice of America,
Swiatlo said that at the time
, he examined three men—Arieh
• Lerner, Abraham Futterwass
and Scyjic Ausubel—he was
, convinced they were innocent,
but when he reported this to the
Vice Minister of the Security
Department he was told the
men had to be convicted because
Prague had accused Dr. Kubovy
of espionage and that Poland
could not take a "back seat" in
this affair.
The ex-Communist security
officer said that the Joint Dis-
tribution Committee in Poland
was also attached to the Polish
security bureau to watch the
JDC activities and that the
crackdown on the JDC followed
a decision by this official.-
