Suggests Extension to Egypt's Jews

Urge Cancellation of U.S. Visit by Nazi Race Expert

McCarran-Walter Act Broken
by Hungarian Relief Measure

Irving Antell, executive direc-
tor of the Flint Jewish Commu-
nity Council, was back at his
desk this week after returning
from a six-week assignment at
Camp Kilmer, N.J., where he
directed the resettlement pro-
gram of Hungarian Jewish refu-
gees for United Hias Service.
When he left to assume his
temporary duties at Camp Kil-
mer on Jan. 3, Antell was

ism in the refugee camps in
Salzburg poured into this coun-
try, there was no overt anti-
Semitism at Camp Kilmer, An-
fell said.
Although a few attempts
were made to distribute anti-
Semitic literature, the army
was responsive to the situa-
tion and what might have de-
veloped into a problem was
quickly squelched, Antell said.
The Flint Council head feared
that Government screening for
Communists in some cases over-
looked extreme fascist elements.
He said that there undoubtedly
would be some problems from
the "Hungarian Nazis" who
were allowed to come here.
Meanwhile, in Detroit, the
Jewish Vocational Service this
week reported that the first 15
Hungarian refugees to hunt for
jobs here have been placed.
The report, issued by Albert
Cohen, JVS executive director,
states that every refugee regis-
tered with the agency for place-
ment from late December to
mid-January had been placed,

NEW YORK—Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles was
urged Wednesday to cancel a
projected visit to Washington
by Dr. Hans Globke, State Sec-
retary in the West German
government who was one of
Hitler's experts on racial legis-
lation.
The appeal was made in a
letter to Dulles from the So-
ciety for the Prevention of
World War II, which declared
that Globke's visit late this
month would be "an affront to
the American people which
could damage our prestige in
the eyes of millions of victims
of Nazism."
The Adenaur government an-

nounced plans last week for
the visit of the Bonn official,
who was accused by the So-
ciety of possession of a "Notori-
ous Nazi record."
Albert Simard, secretary of
the Society, said the letter to
Dulles had been sent to a num-
ber of Senators and Repre-
sentatives. He added he doubted
that the State Department
would reply.
He quoted a statement by
Karl Gerold, publisher of the
Frankfurter Rundschau, that
Globke's commentaries were
"banners above the bloody trail
of millions of murdered human
beings of Jewish ancestry."

IRVING ANTELL

warned to expect a seven-day
work week and the loss of 10
pounds.
Antell, who previously served
on the staff of the United Serv-
ice for New Americans before
its merger with HIAS, also
worked with displaced 'persons
from 1946-49- for the Joint Dis-
tribution Committee.
He wryly smiles that while he
worked every .day to speed Jew-•
ish refugees through the center,
he lost only nine of the 10
pounds.
During his six weeks at Camp
Kilmer, Antell says that 2,700
Hungarian refugees were proc-
essed and released either to
their families or the custodial
care of various Jewish commu-
nities throughout the United
States.
He said that the refugee
program completely broke
through the previous barriers
placed in its path by the Mc-
Carran - Walter Immigration
Act. Only the first 6,000 of
the 28,000 - refugees authorized
by President Eisenhower were
visa cases, Antell said.
The rest were parolees who
were granted admission under a
far - fetched extension of the
McCarran - Walter Act. Antell
said that this very extension
might well be applied to the
50,000 Jews in Egypt who are
now being expelled and forced
to flee.
He reported that of the 28,000
immigrants being accepted in
this country, 25,000 had already
arrived, with only -a few more
boat and plane loads remaining
to come.
There are still approximately
100,000 Hungarians in Austria,
of them some 8,500 Jews. Their
fate is still pending Congres-
sional action to determine
whether they will be allowed to
enter this country.
The pace of resettlement was
established by United Hias Serv-
ice, Antell said, because of its
knowledge of the refugee prob-
lem and because of the cooper-
ative relationships with local
Jewish organizations.
Jewish refugees, he said, had
the benefit of a kosher kitchen,
which also served as a social
center. Antell praised the co-
operation Given by the army,
since the kosher kitchen was
outside the security section.
Jews, he said, even though not
cleared, were permitted to leave
this restricted area to eat
their meals, and there was 100
percent participation, he added.
Antell also said that a syna-
gogue was built by the army,
with the Agudath Israel furnish-
ing a Sefer Torah for daily and
sabbath services. The synagogue,
soon after its completion, was
the scene of a wedding between
two refugees.
While reports Of anti-Semit-

German magazine, Der Spiegel,
quoted Globke as once remark-
ing about the victims of Nazi
racial legislation: "They should
have chosen their parents more
carefully."
