Police arrested Karl Allen,

he sought to make a speech
on the Washington Monu-

The Nazi was taken into cus-

Conductor of Israel
Opera Testifies He
Helped to Save Jews

(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)

TEL AVIV—Hirst Birenblatt
testified Tuesday in his own de-
fense, as head of the Jewish
police under the Jewish council
of Nazi-occupied Bendin in Po-
land, he helped many Jews and
saved them from deportation.
Another witness, a survivor of
the Bendin occupation, con-
firmed t h e defendant's testi-
mony.
Birenblatt, a conductor of the
Israel National Opera, came to
Israel in 1958 and was arrested
when a survivor of the Nazi ter-
ror in Bendin recognized him.
Birenblatt was indicted on a
variety of charges in January,
1963. He was acquitted in July
of charges that he was a mem-
ber of an organization "hostile
to Jews," but his trial continued
on a remaining charge of mal-
treating Jews in Bendin and of
handing Jews over to the Nazis.
Testimony dealt with the role
of the Jewish council's set-up by
the Nazis. Birenblatt said that
the Bendin council carried out
the most difficult tasks in help-
ing Jews, despite the Nazi con-
trol. His statement that he had
helped to save many Jews was
confirmed by Benjamin Klein-
man, head of the Poalei Agudat
education department. The court
reconvened, despite its summer
recess to complete the trial. The
defendant contended, after his
arrest, that he was acquitted
twice in Budapest and in Poland
on the same charges.
