Dr. Fram's Series in Times Indicates 250 Youths to Leave
for Israel Institute
Germany Trying to Live Down Nazis About 250 young Americans

In a series of articles he is
writing for The Detroit Times,
Dr. Leon Fram, senior rabbi of
Temple Israel, paints a gener-
ally rosy picture of the new
Germany he recently visited as
the guest of the Federal govern-
ment.
In the first installment, which
began last Sunday, Dr. Fram
wrote of the hesitancy with
which he accepted the invita-
tion to visit Germany. How, he
asked, "could I eat the bread
and drink the wine of my Ger-
man hosts when everywhere in
the country I would be haunted
by the ghosts of six million
Jews who had been slaughtered
by the Nazis."
Deciding, however, that by
making the trip he would be
able to learn if Germany was
repentent of the Nazi crimes
and has now become a genuine
democracy, he accepted the in-
vitation.
As to Dr. Fram's findings, the
evidence is there, he writes, to
indicate almost a complete re-
versal of German opinion and
feelings in the 12 years since
the end of World War II.
Dr. Fram found the German

leaders, both in power and op-
position, to be loyal to the prin-
ciple of making good their ef-
forts to oust all remnants of
Naiism and to restore a sense
of decency and obligation for
the shame brought on by Hitler.
He writes that there are still
those people in Germany who
hold onto the old Nazi ideology
of race supremacy and anti-
Semitism, but states they are
minority so small that they
have been unable to obtain one
seat in the German Parliament.
The little girl, Anne' Frank,
has become a symbol of Ger-
man repentence, Dr. Fram says.
All over Germany, adults view
the film of her life - and children
plant flowers at concentration
camps in her memory.
The Germans also, Dr. Fram
indicates, are meeting material
obligations for the billions of
dollars that were destroyed and
stolen •from Jews and others
during the Nazi era.
Heirless property has become
Israel's inheritance, while indi-
vidual survivors are being given
sums of money to compensate
them, at least financially, for
their losses under the Nazis, Dr.
Fram writes.

Congress is Criticized by State Department Official
For Failure to Act on Egyptian Immigrants

CHESHIRE, Conn. _(JTA) —
Asking "what of the Jews of
Egypt;" a high State Depart-
ment official said that "pleased
as we may be" about Ameri-
can accomplishments in meet-
ing migration problems, the
broader world picture deserved
constant emphasis.
The official was Robert S.
McCollum, State Department
Administrator for Refugee and
Migration _Affairs. He said that
"as long as oppresive dictator-
ships exist, as long as basic
freedom are denied, there will
be people who flee to seek bet-
ter livers and,, thereby, create
new refugee problems." He
called for longer-range plan-
ning. He spoke before a din-
ner meeting of the American

Youth of Frankfurt." The text
reminds passers-by that the life
as well as the death of this girl,
who perished in Bergen-Belsen
concentration camp as a victim
of Nazi persecution, _constitutes
a moral obligation.
In Hamburg, the Society for
Christian - Jewish Cooperation
has formed an "Anne Frank
Youth Group," with the aim of
fostering social and intellectual
contacts with Jewish youth in-
side and outside of Germany.
The initiative for the new group
emanates from participants in
the , pilgrimage of 2,000 young
people to "the grave of Anne
Frank" in Bergen-Belsen, which
aroused world-wide attention
last March. It is hoped to es .-
tablish similar groups in other
cities.

German Jews Aroused over Threat -
to Slash Indemnification Payments

BONN, (JTA) — An implied
threat by Finance Minister
Fritz Schaeffer that indemni-
fication and restitution pay-
ments to victims of Nazism
would be slashed after the na-
tional elections in September
was protested by the Central
Council of Jews in Germany.
In a speeoh, Dr. Schaeffer
asserted that the Bonn Parlia-
ment had not "officially pon-
dered the consequences" of the
indemnification legislation it
has written and that "these
laws may have to be revised"
after the elections. .
This threat was voiced at a
time when Nazi victims have
reason to hope that the indem-
nification program might be
completed by its target date-
1962. '•
Dr. Schaeffer charged that
indemnification legislation will
obligate Germany to pay some-
thing in the neighborhood of
$4,000,000,000 rather than the
less than half that sum origin-
ally estimated.
He blamed these payments,
which amount to no more than
one percent of the annual Fed-
eral budget, for the current in-
flationary trend in government
spending.
The executive of the Central
Council of Jews in Germany
called Dr. Schaeffer's remarks
"distressing" and "rash" and
demanded "unequivocal clarifi-
cation" by the Federal Govern-
ment.
The Jews charged that the

Finance Minister's threats vio-
late democratic principles. They
specifically noted that Dr:
Schaeffer did not express crit-
icism of far larger expenditures
to benefit other groups, speci-
fically the payment of pensions
for former Nazi officials.
Dr. Schaeffer's words are par-
ticUlarly significant because of
the powerful position he holds
in West German public life and
the fact that he is one of the
contenders to succeed 81-year-
old Chancellor Konrad Aden-
auer.
Ousted from the post of Min-
ister-President of Bavaria by
the American Military Govern-
ment in 1945 and 'excluded from
political activity for life" short-
ly afterwards, he was for Israel-
German reparations pact.

Dreyfus Case Tabooed
for U.S. Film Producer

PARIS, (JTA)—Jose Ferrer,
American producer and actor,
learned this week that the
Dreyfus Case is still taboo in
France when he was refused
permission to shoot exteriors
here for his "I Accuse" film.
After Ferrer was categorically
turned down, it was decided to
shoot the needed exteriors in
nearby Brussels.
Warner Brothers' films, "The
Life of Emile Zola," which also
deals with the unjustly-accused
Jewish officer of the French
army, has never beenpermitted
to be shown.

More lives were lost in the
Civil War than any other war
in which the U. S. has been
engaged.

Memorial Dedicated in Germany at
Former Residence of Ann Frank

FRANKFURT • (JTA)—a me-
morial tablet for Anne Frank
was dedicated here at the house
where she lived until her ram-
ily migrated to Holland after
the Nazis came to power in
Germany. The tablet was un-
veiled by leaders of the "Frank-
furt Youth Circle," the coordi-
nating agency of all local youth
Organizations.
On the quiet residential street
here..: torches 'held aloft by Ger-
man young. people lighted the
evening scene as Lord Mayor
Werner ..Bockelmann quoted,
from Anne Frank's own diary,
the wistful appeal: "I so much
want to live on, even after my
death." K a r 1 „Semm.elbauer,
chairman of 'the Frankfurt
Youth Circle,' , unveiled the
plaque which is signed by "The

Committee on Italian Migration.
Mr. McCollum characterized
the response of Congress to
President Eisenhower's appeal
for revision of the present im-
migration laws as "very slow."
He said there was "no effec-
tive action" from Congress.
Naming outstanding Americans
of Jewish and other back-
grounds, Mn.- McCollum said
"the tradition of the melting
.pot cannot be abandoned." This
tradition, he stated is "endan-
gered by the failure of Con-
gress to act on the President's
recommendations.
