Theresienstadt Documentaries
Planned for Warsaw Ghetto
Commemoration Here April 3

A presentation of drawings and
poems by children interned at the
Theresienstadt Concentra-
tion Camp during the height of
World War II will be part of a
special program in observance of
the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising to be
held 8:15 p.m. April 3 at Cong.
Adas Shalom. The program, spon-
sored by the Jewish Community
Council, marks the 23rd annual
citywide commemoration of the
ghetto uprising.
A total of 15,000 children under
the age of 15 passed through The-
resienstadt Concentration Camp
between the years 1942 to 1944.
Their poems and drawings reflect
not only the daily misery of these
uprooted children, but a degree of
courage and optimism that is their
triumph.
They saw and heard everything
grown-ups did: the endless lines,
the funeral carts, the executions
and the shouts of the SS-men. But
they saw other things; the
green meadows beyond the village
gates, the animals, the birds and

Algerian Denied
Terrorist Trial
Role in Israel

TEL AVIV (JTA)—An Algerian
attorney who came to Israel de-
termined to apear at the current
trial of an Arab terrorist was
flown out of Israel this week on
the same airliner which brought
him to Israel the previous day.
An Israeli Foreign Ministry
spokesman said that Jacques Verges
could not be considered as having
been expelled because he had
never entered Israel "officially".
The spokesman added that all
French subjects must obtain a visa
on arrival and that the attorney
was not granted one when he ar-
rived on a flight from Zurich.
The attorney, a bitter critic
of Israel, had indicated previously
he was willing to serve as defense
counsel for Mahmoud Hejazi, an
Arab infiltrator who was captured
in a clash with an Israeli patrol
in January 1965. Hejazi was sen-
tenced to death by a military tri-
bunal but received a new trial on
grounds he had not been allowed
a free choice of attorneys. He
was given a court-appointed attor-
ney. However, he declined to co-
operate with him and said he would
consluct his own defense.
When M. Verges arrived he was
met by police who told him he
would not be allowed to enter
Israel and that he would have
to leave as soon as he finished his
evening meal. He remained under
guard until the airliner prepared
to depart. He was then placed on
the airliner.
The Algerian attorney had been
declared "undesirable" and was
barred from entering Israel for
repeated public statements that
Israel had no. right to exist and
for publicly vilifying Israel's legal
institutions, according to the
Foreign Ministry spokesman. The
spokesman said that the action
against the attorney was in accord-
ance with a paragraph of Israel's
Law of Entry which provides that
the Interior Minister may order
removal of any person who enters
Israel and is found not entitled
to do so.

View Peace Corps Plan

JERUSALEM (JTA) — A plan to
bring at least 1,500 Jewish students
from abroad to Israel every year,
to pursue their studies in Israel
and to serve as a sort of "peace
corps" in this country, was decided
upon here at a meeting between
Prime Minister Levi Eshkol and
Foreign Minister Abba Eban with
officials of the Hebrew University
of Jerusalem.

especially the butterflies, things
that grown-ups cannot see; prin-
cesses with coronets, wizards and
witches and a land of happiness
with cookies, candy and soda pop.
All this they secretly drew and
painted and described in their
poems. This combination of words
and images is all that is left of
these children.
The Council program, entitled
"I Never Saw Another Butterfly,"
will include a reading of the poems
and a presentation of several of
the drawings. The documents are
part of a collection now on display
at the State Jewish Museum in
Prague. A violin solo of Julius
Chajes' original composition, "Me-
morial Prayer for Violin," will
serve as an introduction to the
readings.
Eugene Altschuller will be the
soloist with piano accompaniment
by the composer.
Dr. Samuel Krohn, president of
the Jewish Community Council,
announced that tickets for the
program are available at the Coun-
cil office, WO 2-6710, or from
council-affiliated organizations.

Use Politics to 'Gain Power'AJCommittee Charges Birchers

NEW YORK—The American Jew-
ish Committee charged here that
although the John Birch Society
denies that it engages in any poli-
tical activities, it openly uses
"political methods" to "gain in-
fluence and power."
Milton Ellerin, a former special
agent for the Federal Bureau of
Investigation who is Director of
the AJC's Trend Analyses Divi-
sion, in testimony prepared for the
New York State Legislative Corn-
mittee on Election Law, stressed
that the Birch Society is run "like
a monolithic political organiza-
tion" and the "political orienta-

During his 12 years with the
FBI, Ellerin was frequently as-
signed to investigation of neo-
Nazi, Communist and extremist
groups and movements.

He who never leaves his country
is full of prejudices.

Sunday, April 17, this year
corresponds with the Hebrew
date of the 27th day of Nissan
which' has been proclaimed
worldwide as annual Day of
Remembrance dedicated in tri-
bute to the ghetto fighters and
the 6,000,000 Jews massacred by

the Nazis.
The anniversary marks the be-
ginning of the revolt in the War-
saw Ghetto by the 60,000 surviving
remnants of the Nazi massacre of
the Jews in that city. The resist-
ance continued for 42 days and 42
nights, at the end of which the
ghetto was mercilessly razed by
heavily armed Hitler forces and
virtually all of the inhabitants
killed.
The open air rally in Times
Square will be ushered in by cere-
monies renaming the area as
"Warsaw Ghetto S'quare" for the
day. Principal speakers who will
address the thousands assembled
will include leading national fig-
ures from Washington and the
American Jewish community.

Ellerin testified in behalf of the
American Jewish Committee's New
York chapter and read into the
record extensive quotes from Birch
Society material, which, he as-
serted, proved that "in every sec-
tion of the country where the Birch
Society has any power it is quite
openly trying to elect candidates
who oppose it."
He cited many prominent Re-
public leaders who "feel that the
John Birch Society is engaged in
a strong effort to influence the
Republican Party."
