22 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS — Friday, December 29, 1961— AJC Censures Adolf Heusinger as `Amoral' Nazi The career of West German General Adolf Heusinger was characterized by the American Jewish Congress as "typified at best by a brutal and opportunistic amorality." But the Congress disassociated itself from the demand by the Soviet Union that Heusinger be extradited to Moscow to stand trial for war crimes and crimes against peace and humanity. "The duplicity of Soviet Rus- sia's attack on Gen. Heusinger is transparent in the light of the warm welcome the USSR has given other Nazi generals who have lent themselves to Soviet purposes," Julian Freeman, chair- man of the international affairs commission of the American Jewish Congress, declared. The American Jewish Con- gress statement supported an editorial in the Protestant maga- zine Christian Century that de- scribed Gen. Heusinger as a "la- bility" to the democratic cause and that urged the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to "drop him" as Chairman of the NATO Military Representatives Com- mittee. Support to the American Jewish Congress and the Christian Century, on their clemind that Heusinger be re- move& from his high NATO post, was announced by the Jewish Cultural Clubs and Societies. A letter by the clubs and societies to Dr. Joachim Prinz, president of the American Jew- ish Congress, declared that "the Jewish people of the United Six Nazis Indicted in Murder of 11,000 BERLIN, (JTA)—Six former leaders of Hitler's SS elite guard were indicted this week on charges of murder or com- plicity in the murder of 11,000 Jews during World War IL They were arrested in Febru- ary, 1959, and have been in pre- trial detention since. The trial is expected to start in the spring. The indictment was filed by West Berlin's Public Prosecutor. Those indicated are former S.S. Col. Alfred Filbert, 56, man- ager of a West Berlin bank; Gerhard Schneider of Lower Saxony; Bodo Stuck, former Hanover police commissioner; Wilhelm Greiffenberger of Bavaria; Konrad Fiebig of Mun- ich, and Heinrich Tunner, form- er managing director of the Oldenburg Chamber of Com- merce. BE SURE AND GIVE THE GIFT THAT WILL BE REMEMBERED THE ENTIRE YEAR... States and other democratic Americans will doubtless hail the statement . . . that the American Jewish Congress would 'energetically oppose' Heusinger's reappointment" as chairman of the Permanent Military Representative Com- mittee of NATO, with its office in the Pentagon. The clubs called attention to the growing opposition against the Heusinger appointment, cit- ing a documented attack in the Senate by Senator Wayne Morse on April 19, 1961, a conference last Oct. 15 called by the Chi- cago Anti-Adolf Heusinger Com- mittee under the chairmanship of Rabbi S. Burr Yampol, and protest meetings in New York, Los Angeles and other cities. Intellectuals Speak Out on Judaism in Response to Survey of Jewish Events YE 8-9364 or MAIL THE COUPON BELOW TODAY !
