receiving letter from individ-

themselves as "members of the

work spokesman said that, prior
to the receipt of the letters,
Serling had been asked to
change the word "German" in
the script to the word "Nazi."
"We did so," the network
spokesman said, "on the valid
theory that not all Germans

circle of 100 behind Hitler's
back had murdered 350,000 to
500,000 Jews." The aim of the
alleged conspiracy's killings, he
asserted, was "to destroy Ger-

NEW YORK, (JTA)—A 90-
minute television program doc-
umenting the 1943 uprising of
the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto,
broadcast nationally over the
CBS-TV network, has drawn
hundreds of protes..s from Ger-
man Americans, who abject to
"reawakening of old racial an-
tagonisms," a spokesman for
CBS-TV reported, but the pro-
gram "went on as produced on
tape."
The show, "In the Presence
of Mine Enemies," was written
by one of television's outstand-
ing playwrights, Rod Serling.
It starred famous American
actors, includin g. Charles
Laughton, Arthur Kennedy, Su-
san Kohner and Oscar Homolka.
"Mine Enemies" has been a
source of contention for up-
ward of 18 months. Serling
originally wrote the program
for production last year, but
sponsors vetoed it as "too con-
troversial." As aired, "Mine
Enemies" told the story of a
heroic rabbi, played by Laugh-
ton, and depicted both the
tragedy and the heroism of the
Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto
who fought the Nazis, knowing
that most of them were in
effect committing suicide.
