Wyszogrod was captured during
the ghetto uprising in 1943 and
deported to the Maidanek con-
centration camp.
He was subsequently shifted
to other concentration camps,
surviving in a number of in-
stances because the camp com-
mander wanted to avail himself
of Mr. Wyszogrod's talent for
painting and caricature. He was
liberated from the Theresien-
stadt camp by the Russian army
in 1945. After liberation he re-

, by the JDC in Warsaw and la-

U. S. in 1947 on a student visa
with JDC's assistance, studied
at Pratt Institute, New York,
was graduated in 1950 with hon-
ors and in 1954 became an Am-
erican citizen.

The JDC seal, which includes
the words "Rescue, Relief, Re-
construction," was first present-
ed publicly at the 42nd annual
meeting of the agency in New
York. JDC, which was founded
in 1914, has aided nearly 4,000,-

more than 70 countries. Funds
for JDC's overseas programs
are provided chiefly by Ameri-

2 Reports Reveal
Mass Deportations
of Jews in Russia

VIENNA (JTA) — Several
thousand Jews have been de-
ported by the Soviet authorities
from the Ukraine and the Baltic
states to Siberia during the last
few weeks, diplomatic sources
reported. The deportations start-
ed about a month ago, they said.
Similar reports were here
from Warsaw where Jews have
received pleas from relatives in
the Ukraine to make an effort
to bring them to Poland. Many
of the deported Jews claim
Polish citizenship since they
were born in the section of
Poland which was annexed by
the Soviet Union after World
War II.

NEW YORK (JTA)—Siobhan.
McKenna, the spirited Irish ac-
tress, scored another success this
week when she convinced a TV
audience that she had been mis-
understood in impromptu re-
marks that had been interpreted
as being anti-Jewish.
It all came about when Miss
McKenna appeared on "Night
Beat," a late-night commentary
show on Station WABD here,
and was asked by Mike Wallace,
conductor of the _program, about
the Jews in Ireland.
The actress said there was
nothing phenomenal about the
Mayor of Dublin being Jewish,
explaining, "he's an Irishman,
you see." She said in response
to further questions that there
were Jewish communities in
Cork and Dublin, "but not any-
where else in Ireland." The
Jews there, she said, "have all
the businesses. Maybe that's
why there's an economic depres-
sion elsewhere."
That remark, Wallace told a
subsequent audience, brought in
more than 500 protests. Miss
McKenna insisted on making a
second appearance to clarify her
remarks. She explained that she
meant, in essence, that the Jews
should be active elsewhere in
Ireland, too. And then, her voice
tense and throbbing, she said:
"I was quite shocked to learn
that what I said not only hurt
some people but that there was
thought there these remarks by
me were meant as an insult to
the Jewish people. Exactly the
apposite is true. I am about as
anti-Semitic as the Chief Rabbi
of Israel—who is Irish."
Station WABD reported a
flood of calls at its switchboard
from viewers who wanted to
congratulate Miss McKenna.
