1,300 Refugees
Escape to Austria

VIENNA, (JTA)—More than
1,300 Hungarian Jewish refu-
gees have already been regis-
tered at Jewish cQmmunal and

welfare agencie'S in Austria and

they are continuing to pour in
at the rate of 150 daily; Charles
H. Jordan, director general of
the Joint Distribution Commit-
tee, announced here.
This --Continuing emergency
has forced the JDC to alter its
planning and prepare for a
long - term program of direct
relief and assistance. The Aus-
trian Jewish community con-
tinues to carry on • with the
work of registering, feeding,
clothing and sheltering the refu-
gees. The JDC supplies the
funds—the meager capabilities
of the community have been
exhausted.
The JDC' is cooperating with
the Jewish Agency to arrange
facilities for those refugees who
wish to go to Israel and with
the United Hias Service for
those who desire to emigrate to
other countries.
There remains the problem of
a substantial number of refu-
gees who would rather remain
in Austria for the time being, in
the hope of eventually return-
ing to home and family in Hun-
gary. In the interim, they must
be supported.
A. L. Easterman and Dr. S.
Roth, representatives of the
World Jewish Congress, cur-
rently in Vienna in connection
with the Hungarian situation,
announced that they had estab-
lished that during the upheaval
in Budapest and other cities
neither side was responsible lr
anti-Semitic incidents.

HANUKAH, 5717 — In the tradition of the Maccabees of old,
Israel today has rekindled the torch of freedom and security.

These are troubled days . . As in the time of Ezra and
Nehemiah, Israelis again are battling for freedom, ploW
in one hand, sword in the other . . . Theirs is a fight for
justice and for honor . . . It is a struggle for life and the
pursuit of happiness, for peace and security.

We send forth to the brave modern pioneers in Israel a message
of good cheer. American Jewry prays, hopes — and works —
for your well-being.- May your triumph soon spell triumph for
the entire world's quest for peace. '

A HAPPY HANUKAH TO ALL
