Sovietish Heimland Publishes
1st Article by Non-Communist
NEW YORK—The USSR's only
Yiddish-language magazine — So-
vietish Heimland—has published
its first article by a non-Commu-
nist writer.
The June issue of the Soviet
magazine contains an article by
Jacob Glatstein, noted Yiddish
poet and novelist and a staff
member of the American Jewish
Congress Office of Jewish Infor-
mation.
An editorial disclaimer _ at the
end of the article notes that Glat-
stein's "opinions" have often called
forth "serious disagreements" on
the part of the magazine but that
his essay was being printed never-
theless for its interest to readers.
Glatstein's article, which tells
about Sholom Aleichem's trans-
lator and son-in-law, J. 1). Berko-
vitch of Tel Aviv, appeared
originally in the Labor Zionist
magazine Kemfer, published in
New York. Its reprinting in the
June issue of Sovietish Heim-
land was in connection with the
50th anniversary of Sholom
Aleichem's death. In addition to

being a poet and novelist, Glat-
stein is a noted critic and
essayist.
The "serious disagreements" the
Soviet magazine alludes to are re-
plies it has made from time to
time disputing Glatstein's political
views as expressed in his semi-
weekly column "Plain Talk" in the
Jewish Day - Journal, New York
Yiddish daily newspaper, and in
Kempfer.
Aaron Vergelis, editor of Soviet-
ish Heimland, who has attacked
Glatstein's political stands, has
noted his admiration for Glatstein's
poetry.
Publication of the Glatstein
article may indicate a changed
policy toward Yiddish non-Com-
munist writers in the U.S., Israel
and Latin America. Their works
are today unknown to the USSR's
Yiddish-reading public.

charges of mass murder of Jews
in occupied Poland.
The judge said he could not ac-
cept the verdict and ordered the
case sent to the High Court, for
review.
Although 30 witnesses testified
that Wilhelm Mauer, 48, and his
brother, Johann Mauer, 52, had
personally tortured and murdered
Jews in Stanislav, the jury of six
men and two women found that
they had acted under "irresistible
coercion."
This meant that they had been
forced to obey orders and could
not therefore be held responsible
for their actions, in the jury's
view.
