Withdraws Novel Branded Anti-Semitic

GENEVA, (JTA) — The pub-
lisher of a novel - attacked by
the Jewish community and the
Swiss press as anti-Semitic has
agreed to withdraw it from cir-
culation.
The novel, "Amram Bela," by
F. H. Acherman, tells the story
of the son of a Jewish million-
aire, and lays the blame of the
world's ills on "Jewish free
masonry" and the "Jewish con-
spiracy."
"Israelitisches Wochenblatt,"
Switzerland's chief Jewish week-
ly, reports that the book's pub-

Ohrenstein Appeal
Fails; Court Backs
One-Year Sentence

MUNICH, (JTA) — Suspended
Chief Rabbi of Bavaria Dr.
Aron Ohrenstein was again
sentenced to a one year prison
term. at the .conclusion of his
second trial here on charges of
fraud in connection with certif-
ication of claims of victims of

Nazism.

It is expected that Dr. Ohren-
stein, who was granted a second
trial after he appealed 'hes first
conviction, will file a new ap-
peal.
On his second appeal, the Ger-
man Supreme Court at Karls-
ruhe upheld his first conviction,
in 1952, but ordered a new trial
because it did not agree with the
sentence meted out to him. That
sentence was one year in prison
and a fine. The court here
changed the earlier sentence
only to the extent of omitting
the fine.
The court also refused to in-
clude Dr. Ohrenstein in the
general amnesty in effect • in
Germany since early this year,
asserting that the refusal was
based on his "abuse of the rab-
binical office." A number of
other charges still hang over
Dr. Ohrenstein.
• Dr. Ohrenstein, a 45-year-old
native of Poland, lived in Berlin
before and during the early
years of the Nazi regime. He has
long been active in Jewish af-
fairs. He has strenuously, and
thus far successfully, fought off
efforts by some communal
quarters to separate him from
his rabbinical post:

lisher, Otto Walter, has de-
clared that the "public attack
and harm" which the novel has
caused, influenced him to de-
cide not to print any more
copies and to halt all sales after
the first edition is sold out. He
said he is withdrawing all ad-
vertisements for the book.

Renew Winnipeg
UJA Drive for '55

e
WINNIPEG, (JTA) —
United Jewish Appeal here has
survived a threatening danger
of dissolution because of finan-
cial difficulties, and again will
be in operation in 1955, officials
announced.
The year's extension is sub-
ject to review of the campaign's
results next year.
The renewal of the appeal was
made by the three partners—
Jewish . Welfare Fund, Zionist
Organization Mid-West Region
(for United Israel Appeal) and
Canadian Jewish Congress.
As explained by officials, the
UJA was not able to meet a
Zionist Organizational annual
minimum of $175,000 for the
UJA, due to reduced campaign
proceeds and increased costs of
local institutions. Under the
partnership arrangement with
UJA, it is automatically dis-
solved if the UIA does not get
the $175,000 minimum.
If shortages in this _year's a)-
locations to the UIA and Con-
gress can not be made up next
year through increasing pro-
ceeds then the "re-evaluation
will come next year. In short,
the community w ill decide.
whether combined fund-raising
will continue in Winnipeg.
