Federal Security Program Offers
Anti-Semitic Outlet, Says Maslow
UN Congress Told of
Fate of Jewish Child
Survivors of Nazis
WASHINGTON (JTA) — A
Senate subcommittee investigat-
ing the Federal employes security
program was told by a spokesman
for the American Jewish Con-
gress that the arbitrary nature of
the security program made it pos-
sible for -security officers with
an anti-Semitic bias to pin secur-
ity risk labels on innocent Jews.
Will Maslow, in a reply to a
committee member's question of
whehter anti-Semitism was a fac-
tor in the security program, said
evidence of anti-Semitic preju-
dice was found in the Fort Mon-
mouth cases where many Jewish
employes were fired. Some were
later reinstated after Jewish
groups had pointed out the dis-
proportionately large number of
Jews- branded as "risks."
A Fort Monmouth security of-
ficer charged with anti-Jewish
bias was removed from his job
after Jewish groUps demanded . a
government review of events at
the station.
The committee was to have
heard two witnesses involved in
the firing of Wolf Ladejinsky,
but the witnesses failed to ap-
pear. They were Milan D. Smith,
executive assistant to the Secre-
tary of Agriculture, and J. Glen
Cassity, the security officer of the
Department of Agriculture. A
subcommittee spokesman said
they would be called again.
If they refuse to respond a
second time, subpoenas may be
issued. _Later, it was announced
that --the subcommittee will take
up the case of Ladejinsky in
about three weeks. • This was
made known by Sen. Olin D.
GENEVA, (JTA)—The toll of
Nazi cruelty on some of the
150,000 Jewish children found in
Europe at the end of World War
II was described here by Bern-
ard B. Gillis, vice-chairman of
the British section of the World
Jewish Congress, speaking at the
first United Nations Congress on
the Prevention of Crime and the
Treatment of Delinquents..
Mr. Gillis noted that the chil-
dren found in concentration
camps and elsewhere in the lib-
erated countries were all suffer-
ing from malnutrition and many
from the effect of starvation, had
witnessed Nazi cruelties and had
been forced to do revolting
work. In the 12-16-year-old
group, he said, many youths were
restless and their attitude toward
life included in various cases
fury, destruction, cruelty and a
desire to inflict on others some of
the torment and humiliation that
had been their lot.
Of the fate of the 150,000, he
said, • very few were re-united
with remnants of their families,
many thousands were given a
new start in Israel and others in
other countries.
Johnston, chairman of the unit.
Ladejinsky's dismissal by the
Department of Agriculture was
accompanied by anti-Semitic by-
play. He was subsequently clear-
ed, and is now employed by the
Foreign Operations Administra-
tion, an agency of the State De-
partment.
The son of a member of the
Jewish War Veterans was fired
from his Navy job as a sheet
metal worker at Quonset, R. I.,
because of charges that he had
associated with his mother who
supported Henry A. Wallace's
Progressive Party in 1948. This
emerged when Joseph H. Surh-
ners, Jr., 26, was called before
the subcommittee.
The mother, Mrs. Pauline Mar-
garet Sumners, also was called.
She denied membership in sub-
versive _groups. Young Sumners
is a Navy veteran with a good
record. One item cited against
Sumners was the signature of his
mother on a Progressive Party
petition circulated in 1948.
Sen. Frank Carlson, Kansas Re-
publican, a member of the com-
mittee, said the Navy made a
mistake in its handling of the
Sumners case and "should have
just fired him" without raising
the security issue. He also ques-
tioned the wisdom of airing such
cases in public:
(The -Navy has announced in
Washington that a • Navy board
will hold a hearing in New York,
Saturday, to consider the case of
merchant seaman Eugene D.
Landy, Jewish youth who was
refused a Naval Reserve commis-
sion because his mother is ac-
cused of leftwing affiliations).

LONDON, (JTA)—The warfare

is really an old, old story accord-

"Israel-Egypt Crisis." To her hus-

1954, New Stastical Abstract Shows
The Joint Distribution Commit-
tee, major American agency aid-
ing distressed Jews abroad, pro-
vided assistance to 165,750 needy
Jews in Israel, Europe and the
Moslem world, the ninth annual
JDC Statistical Abstract discloses.'

aided 25,750 in a network of old-
age homes, custodial care centers,
hospitals, sanitaria, sheltered
workshops and other institutions
throughout the Jewish state.
The Abstract reveals that in
the post-war period the overseas
relief agency shipped 231,800,929
pounds of food, wearing apparel
and other commodities, including

Jima in World War II, Gen.
