Honors for Abs
•Challenged by
Drew Pearson
In his syndicated column in
the Detroit Free Press, last Satur-
day, - Drew Pearson - challenged
the State Department's inconsist-
ency of admitting objectionable
people from abroad. He pointed
out that while Tuvia Friedman,
who figured - prominently in the
Eichmann case, at first was denied
admission to this country, only to
be granted a visa when an appeal
was made to the then Ambas
dor Ogden Reid. Nevert

"The banker is erman J. Abs,
former director of the Deutsche
Bank under Hitler, who, accord-
ing to Senate records, is one
of those who plotted the seizure
of Jewish-owned property in
Germany.
"Back in 1948, the United
States opposed premitting Abs
to return to German banking,
but it was overruled by the
British. A confidential cable
sent to Washington by United
States political adviser Robert
Murphy at that time reported:
`Abs co-operated hand in glove
during the Third Reich with
leading political personalities
of the government, industry,
and Nazi party circles.'
"Nevertheless, Abs was picked
by Eugene Black of the World
Bank to make a survey of India
and Pakistan for the revision of
their economy, and will now come
to the United States to help chart
free world economy."
