Connecticut Senator Says Jews
Most Persecuted Minority in USSR
WASHINGTON, — Senator
Thomas J. Dodd (D-Conn.) said
the chief breeding place for
anti-Semitism is . the Soviet
Union and the chief instigator
was the Communist Interna-
tional.
Senator--Dodd, former Execu-
tive Trial' ouliSeI the Nur-
--emberg _ War Crime Trials,
made his charge in A speech
inserted in the Congressional
Record by Senator George A.
Smathers D-Fla.)
The speech had been pre-
pared by Senator Dodd prior to
his collapse on Feb. 27.
due to fatigue brought about by
over-work. He had planned to
deliver it this week during
Chancellor Adenauer's visit to
this country, but the Senator's
physician ordered him to cancel
all engagements during March.
Senator Dodd accused the
Kremlin of engaging in a geno-
cidal campaign against the Jew-
ish people and Jewish culture,
and in exporting anti-Semitism
to satellite and other coun-
tries .
"The Kremlin has conducted

said that the record of the Ade-
nauer Government on anti-
Semitism was beyond reproach.
He said there was still much to
be done in Germany. The prob-
lem of Nazis in government
• osts,- according to his analysis,
was of no more than residual
proportions. The problein of
popular re-education, he de-
clared, was much more serious,
although even here he pointed
to a whole series of encourag-
ing developments in recent
-years.
In contrast, he said that East
Germany has opened its ranks
to the most vicious _Nazis and
Nazi collaborators. Senator
Dodd added that the same was
true in other European coun-
tries taken over by Communists.
He declared that the 3,000,000
Jews in the Soviet Union are
the most persecuted of all
minorities.
