The article was written by Prof. Hyman Levy, scientist, philosopher and Marxist, who investigated charges of mis- treatment of Jews in the USSR when he visited that country last October. Prof. Levy reported that Rus- sian Jews regard the years from 1'949 to 1952 as the "black years" in which many Jews were dismissed from their jobs, Jewish poets and writers ar- rested, charged with treason and executed, and Yiddish dis- appeared from the street and market place. The Jewish popu- lation became tense and ner- vous Prof. Levy declared. , Reporting that he found dif- ficulty in contacting "special people" whom he had wanted to interview on this subject, Prof. Levy said that he found such testimony unnecessary since individual Jews gave him all the information he needed. Relatives of cultural workers who had been liquidated ex- plained the procedure that was followed in those years. "Shortly after his arrest," Prof. Levy wrote, "the imme- diate relatives of the arrested man would be deported to some distant place and there set to work and often at low wages. • ORCHESTRA SEATS TO ANY 4 BROADWAY SHOWS OF YOUR CHOICE AND AN ED SULLIVAN REHEARSAL SHOW Finally the husband would be shot, perhaps after torture to try to force him to confess or incriminate others.

The single agency that had refused to discriminate against Jewish job applicants is Jewish-owned. The same situa- tion exists in Denver, where 45 out of 46 employment agencies, including public agencies, had agreed to service a request for a secretary with applicants who were "white Protestant." The report commended the President's Committee on Gov- ernment Contracts, "as a strong new force in combating job dis- crimination." But it pointed out that many firms practicing em- ploy'ment discrimination held federal government contracts and were "violating their con- tractual pledge not to discrim- inate because of race, religion or national origin." NEW YORK (JTA) — Reli- gious bias still keeps "white collar" workers out of jobs "on all levels, from clerical to pro- fessional," according to a five- year survey of six major areas made by the Anti-Defamation League. of Bnai.
