German Jews Irate
Over Congress Study

DUSSELDORF, (JTA) —Dr.
Hendrik George Van Dam, sec-.
retary general of the Council
of Jews in Germany, took issue
with a study of anti-Semitism
in West Germany made by the
American Jewish Congress.
"Our Council, and not publi-
city-minded individual Ameri-
cans or American Jewish or-
ganizations, is the spokesman
and trustee of Jewish interests
in West Germany," he said.
He claimed that the compila-
tion by the American Jewish
Congress of studies of anti-
Semitic incidents and the gen-
eral political situation in West
Germany published as "The
German Dilemma," had not con-
tributed anything new or re
markable.
Dr. Van Dam, who made his
criticism in an interview with
West German journalists, added
that "interference" of the
American Jewish Congress in
such matters made the solution
of problems, such as restitution,
of the Jews in Germany more
difficult.
(In New York, Dr. Joachim
Prinz, president of the Ameri-
can Jewish Congress, said that
the organization had published
the study as "a contribution to
a discussion of the problems"
in West Germany and "in the
hope that it might aid in the
promotion of a new Germany
committed to the ideals of de-
mocracy and ca able of joining

were different distributions of
blood factors in the different
races which, if improperly
matched, could lead to shock,
death or sterility in women.
He said that picking donors
from patient's family or race
could reduce the risk in the
absence of careful identification
of all blood factors. The seven
critics of Dr. Scudder's report
pointed out that he had pre-
sented no scientific evidence
to support his theory and
asserted that its only effect
would be to strengthen race
prejudice "which has been
shown repeatedly to rest on ig-
norance rather than on bio.
logical or medical knowledge."

NEW YORK, — Seven out-
standing blood and genetics ex-
perts have condemned a report
by a leading blood bank direc-
tor that race-to-race blood trans-
fusions were safer than inter-
racial ones. The seven scientists,
all members of the Columbia
University Seminar on Genetics
and Evolution of Man, charged
that the proposal on segregated
transfusions served no purpose
except to reinforce race preju-
dice.
_ The report on blood- trans-
fusions had been made by 'Dr.
John Scudder, director of the
Presbyterian Hospital 13 lood
