Germans Believe Ex-Mufti Brought VonLeers to Egypt Rosh Hashanah at Pearl Harbor BONN, (JTA) — Haj Amin el Husseini, the former Mufti of Jerusalem, is believed in gov- ernment circles here to have ar- ranged for the hiring by. the Egyptian government of the no- torious anti-Semitic propagan- dist, Dr. Johannes von Leers. Von Leers was revealed this week to be working for Cairo's Ministry of National Guidance, President Gamal Abdel Nasser's propaganda department. The ex-Mufti had sent a greet- ing to Von Leers when the lat- ter was editing "Der Weg," a German-language monthly ded- icated to perpetuation of the Nazi brand of anti-Semitism which Von Leers issued in Buenos Aires during the Peron regime. In his message to Von Leers, the ex-Mufti thanked the un- reconstructed Nazi "for ventur- ing to take up the battle against the power of darkness that has become incarnate in world Jew- ry." When Peron was overthrown in Argentina, Von Leers wrote to friends here that he had been "invited by Egyptian authorities to deliver some lectures" in Cairo. In this quonset but which is Aloha Chapel in Pearl Har- bor, Jewish personnel in the Navy and Marine Corps stationed at the Hawaiian Naval Base usher in the Jewish New Year. This year marks the fifteenth anniversary of the day of in- famy—December 7, 1941—on which the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. This scene is typical of hundreds of services which will be held for 150,000 Jewish servicemen and hos- pitalized veterans in the National Jewish Welfare Board's 39th "Operation Rosh Hashanah." Bibles, prayer-books, taleisim, yarmelkes and other supplies, as well as tons of food, are all furnished by JWB. High Holy Day feasts and home hospitality are arranged by volunteers on JWB's Armed Services Com- mittees and USO-JWB workers. Services are conducted by Jewish chaplains — recruited, ecclesiastically endorsed and served by JWB's Commission on Jewish -Chaplaincy. Poland Has Only Two Rabbis for Its YOU'LL NEVER 50,000 Jews; No Religious TeaChers do better .. . WASHINGTON, D. C.—There Are only two rabbis — and no Jewish religious teachers — in all Poland, reports an American rabbi who recently returned from behind the Iron Curtain, Writing in The National Jew- ish Monthly, published by Bnai Brith, Dr. Israel Mowshowitz, rabbi of the Hillcrest Jewish Center, -Flushing, N. Y., said that Jewish community leaders in Poland were eager for Amer- ican Jewry to aid them in re- establishing Hebrew schools and seminaries. Before the war Poland had 3,000,000 Jews. Today there are 50,000. Dr. Mowshowitz, who headed a delegation of the New York Board of Rabbis on a visit to Russia, Poland and Czechoslo- vakia observed: 1. Anti-Semitism still exists in Poland. A young Jewish in- tellectual told him: "We are al- ways reminded who we are." 2. Polish Jews speak openly of emigration, and Rabbi Zev Morenu, in Lodz, told an audi- ence gathered in honor of - the American rabbis that instead of spending so much energy trying to rebuild Polish Jewry "we must ask the Polish government to permit us to go to Israel, where we can create a new life for ourselves." 3. This year, for the first time, heads of Jewish religious communities throughout Poland were elected by their consti- tuents. Until last March, they had been appointed by the government. 4. In Czechoslovakia, there are six rabbis, whose salaries— like those of all ministers--are paid by the state. The Jewish community may elect its own rabbi, subject to approval by the Ministry for Ecclesiastical Affairs. 5. Religion is taught in the Czech public schools, but those who. study it face obstacles in gaining entrance to schools of higher education. imnzrt OR PAY LESS On the BEST BUICK YET!
