Rabbi's Appeal Wins Probation
on Fraud Charge Brought by Bonn

MUNICH, (JTA) — The Dis-
trict Court at nearby Augsburg
imposed a nine-month prison
sentence for fraud upon former
Bavarian "Chief Rabbi" Dr.
Aron Ohrenstein but for the
first time in a series of trials
and appeals stretching over the
past five years, placed him on
probation.

Propaganda for
Hungarian Refugees

Dr. Ohrenstein was charged
with helping a small group of
people obtain wrongful indemni-
fication payments by attesting
that he had administered a "rab-
binical oath" in Wildflecken
camp to certain jeWish DPs, who
either did not exist or else had
already emigrated from Ger-
many. In 1952, he 'was given a
year in jail and a fine.
Following his appeal, the
German Supreme Court con-:-
firmed the finding of guilty, and
later a Munich court again
handed down a one-year sen-
tence, this time without adding
a fine. A second appeal by Dr.
Ohrenstein to the Supreme
Court was rejected and, when
he was about to board an air-
plane bound for Switzerland in
December 1955, the German au-
thorities sent him to jail to begin
serving his sentence.
Two months later he was re-
leased, however, on the basis
of a precedent-setting decision
by the Federal Constitutional
Court, which later overruled the
Supreme. Court and held that
the Munich _judge in the last
previous trial had been assigned
outside the normal sequence and
hence improperly.
For that reason the Constitu-
tional Court ordered the case
transferred to Augsburg for re-
trial. Dr. Ohrenstein is now en-
gaged in thisiness in Munich. He
is planning legal steps to have
the entire case reopened on the
basis of new evidence.

NEW YORK, (JTA) — An
Army spokesman conceded that
a new Hungarian - American
weekly newspaper published
by a man described as "a' vet-
eran propagandist of Nazi anti-
Semitism both in Hungary and
the U.S. "was being distributed
with Army approval to refugees
at Camp Kilmer, N.J.
Irving M. Engel, president of
the American Jewish Commit-
tee, said that Zoltan Fay's
paper, Szabad Magyarsag (Free
Hungary), was marked by a
"flagrantly pro-Nazi spirit." He
said the paper was being dis-
tributed secretly at the camp,
but the Army said the publica-
tion had been screened by
Army intelligence and approved
for distribution there.
Writers for the paper include
Lajos Marschalko, who was de-
ported from the U.S. in 1951
as "an ,active pro-Nazi," accord-
ing to immigration authorities.
Another writer mentioned by
Engel was Kalman R. Rattkay,
"former editor in Budapest of
the Nazi daily Uj Magyarsag, Monde Publishers Move

organ of Hitler's plan to sub- to New, Larger Offices
