The Sanctions Issue:
Although official Washington speaks of possible sanctions
against Israel if Israeli troops are not withdrawn unconditionally
from the Gaza and Aqaba areas, there is a good deal of optimism
in Jewish circles that such sanctions will not be imposed for-
mally ... This is because American public opinion is beginning
to react negatively to the idea of imposing sanctions against
Israel when no sanctions were imposed on Egypt for ignoring
the United Nations resolutions on keeping the Suez Canal open
to Israeli shipping . . . Sanctions have not been imposed against
India for seizing Kashmir against the will of the majority of the
people there and for rejecting a plebiscite on Kashmir . No
sanctions have been introduced against Soviet Russia for invad-
ing Hungary, and against Communist Hungary for refusing.to
comply with the UN resolution to admit United Nations observers
into the country . . . The idea of sanctions against Israel is,
therefore, meeting with strong opposition not only among influ-
ential members of the U.S. Congress, but also among member
states of the United Nations . . . Even among the nations of
the Afro-Asian bloc there are some who fear that a UN resolu-
tion recommending sanctions against Israel may backfire against
Egypt, and later against other Arab and pro-Arab countries . .
Even if the situation reaches a point where the United States
would decide to use sanctions against Israel, such sanctions could
not affect the raising of philanthropic, funds for Israel in this
country . . . Precedents show that the American Red Cross, the
Quakers and other philanthropic groups in this country have
never been affected in their work for other countries which
were under American ban . . With the thousands of Jewish
refugees from Egypt and Hungary now depending on aid from
American Jewry in finding them new homes and helping them
resettle, sanctions can hardly be imposed by the U.S. Government
on the raising of funds in this country for such humanitarian
purposes.

Zionist Affairs:
, The next meeting of the Zionist Actions Committee—supreme
Zionist body between world Zionist congresses—is scheduled for
next month in Jerusalem . . Should the American members
at this body be refused State Department permission to proceed
to Israel under the existing ban on travel to the Middle East,
a possibility exists that the Actions Committee will meet in
Switzerland instead of Israel . . . Aside from other problems,
the session will have to approve the draft of a new constitution
for the World Zionist Organization .. This draft is now being
prepared by a committee of experts and provides for basic
changes in the structure of the World Zionist movement . . • The
status of the central and legal institutions of the world Zionist
movement will also undergo some basic changes under the revised
constitution . . Representatives of various Zionist parties in
the United States and members of the Jewish Agency executive
have been invited to submit their- views to the committee en-
gaged in drafting the constitution.

Farben to Pay
Ex-Slave Laborers

FRANKFURT (JTA) — An
agreement to set aside $6,430,-
000 for payments to Jewish
slave laborers in I. G. . Farben
plants during 'World War II,
was signed here by officials of
the firm and the Conference on
Jewish Material Claims Against
Germany.
Implementation of the agree-
ment will depend on ratification
by stockholders of I. G. Farben,
which is in liquidation, and pas-
sage of legislation by the West
German Parliament fixing a
deadline for registration of
claims against the company.
Stockholders are expected to
approve the agreement at a
meeting in April, and no dif-
ficulty is expected in obtaining
enabling legislation from the
Bonn Parliament.
The agreement provides that
the I. G. Farben liquidators
will make the money available
to a legal trust which will make
the payments to Jewish claim7
ants. The, legal trust will prob-
ably be set up in Frankfurt.
The agreement was the out-
come of negotiations in Frank-
furt and New York over the
past two years, designed to pro-
vide a centralized machinery for
speedy payment of compensa-
tion to former Jewish slave
workers, from the Auschwitz
concentration c a m p, without
forcing them to undertake pro-
longed and expensive litigatioq.
Some 3,000 Jewish victims
have filed claims with additional
claimants expected.

stein's original sound track mu-
sic to "The Ten Command-
ments," a symphonic score re-
corded with a 72-piece orches-
tra, will be released by • Dot

U. of M. Grad
Dies in. Red Jail

STOCKHOLM (JTA)—Raoul
Wallenburg, the Swedish diplo-
mat who saved as many as
20,000 Jews in Budapest in the
last months of the Nazi regime,
died in a Moscow prison in July,
1947, two years after he was
arrested by Soviet authorities in
the wake of the Soviet * Army's
capture of Budapest in 1945. In
the intervening years soviet
authorities have rebuffed every
attempt to trace Wallenburg
with statements that he was not
known in the USSR.
Last week-end, nearly a year
after the latest Swedish effort
to locate the diplomat, the
Soviet Government informed
Stockholm that Wallenburg died
in Lubyanka Prison, probably
of a heart attack. .
Wallenburg went to Budapest
in 1944 and organized a staff
of 400 whose purpose was to
locate surviving Jewish families
and provide them with Swedish
visas, a protection against de-
portation to death camps. Many
of the Jews thus placed under
Swedish Legation protection
were moved to Sweden while
others were taken to various
countries • with International
Red Cross assistance.
Wallenburg graduated f r o
the University of Michigan's
school of architecture in 1935.
A member of a powerful Swed-
ish banking family and a Chris-
tian, he was deeply motivated
by a desire to serve the Jews
as a segment of humanity in
distress.

Saver of Girls from Nazis
Dies This Week in N.Y.

A Polish widow who saved
two Jewish children from the
Nazis by passing them off as
her own, died this week in
Glen Cove, L.I.
While a governess in German-
occupied Warsaw in 1941, Mrs.
Zilow cared for Elizabeth Trill-
ing, who with a cousin was
confined to the Warsaw ghetto,
having been orphaned during
World War II. Mrs. Zilow took
the two girls, with them climbed
the ghetto wall, and then was
captured by the Nazis.
Severely grilled, she main-
tained she was a Polish national
and the girls were her nieces.
The three were set free after
being robbed of all possessions
except clothing they wore. Mov-
ing from one Polish city to an-
other, she changed her story as
often as circumstances required,
sometimes identifying the girls
as her daughters.
After further harrassment,
both girls are now living in
the U.S., Lillian is married and
in California. Her cousin, Eliza-
beth, is a freshman in Benning- -
ton College.
