GOP State Parley Backs Griffin on Anti-Fortas Drive
►
Fears that the nomination of
Richard Nixon will aid the Stop-
Abe Fortas forces were confirmed
by actions at the Republican Party
state convention this week in
Grand Rapids.
U.S. Senator Robert P. Griffin,
who is leading the fight against
Fortas' nomination as chief jus-
tice of the Supreme Court, was
given a vote of confidence at the
convention.
A resolution intended merely to
commend Griffin w a s amended
unanimously after a recommenda-
tion by Richard Durant to include
praise for Griffin's efforts to deny
the chief justice's post to Fortas.
Durant is chairman of the 14th
District Republican organization
and is known as an ultra-conserva-
tive.
Griffin said that while he op-
poses Fortas' nomination because

Intermarriage Tackled in Colman
Novel Nixed-Marriage Daughter'
Hila Colman has developed a
most interesting plot in her novel
for teen-agers. "Mixed-Marriage
Daughter," published by William
Morrow & Co. (425 Park, S.,
NY16).
With Sophie Barnes, the high
school senior whose father is non-
Jewish and whose mother comes
from a devout Jewish family, as
the heroine in a tale that involves
anti-Semitic sentiments, commu-
nity incidents, internal family con-
flicts, touches upon problems that
disturb children and adults.
The Jewish parents at first re-
sent the intermarriage but learn
to love and respect the son-in-law.
And he, in turn, reacts with honor
to the family association. In fact,
like his wife and her mother he
tells Sophie that since her mother
is Jewish so is Sophie. That's when
the trouble start — with Sophie
becoming rebellious, refusing to
fraternize with the Jewish children
in her school, seeking out non-Jew-
ish affiliations. And the trouble
multiplies in the latter sphere.

Mass Murder of Jews
BONN (JTA)—A former Nazi
Foreign Ministry official said that
he would appeal the eight-year
sentence pronounced on him by a
Frankfurt court Aug. 19 for com-
plicity in the mass murder of
Greek and Yugoslavian Jews dur-
ing World War II.
Fritz Gebhardt von Hahn, 57, was
convicted despite testimony by
West Germany's chancellor, Kurt
Georg Kiesinger, that implied that
the defendant might not have been
aware of the fate of the 30,000 Jews
deported from Salonika and. Thrace
to Auschwitz and Treblinka.
Kiesinger, who appeared as a
defense witness last month in the
trial of Hahn and his co-defen-
dant, Adolf Beckerle, testified
that despite his own wartime job
in the Nazi Foreign Ministry's
propaganda section, he was not
aware that the Third Reich was
systematically murdering Jews.
Hahn's defense was that although
he worked in the ministry's Jewish
affairs section in Berlin, he did
not know what went on in the con-
centration camps. In reading the
verdict, however, the presiding
judge said that "although the de-
fendant was but a cog in the huge
annihilation machinery of the state,
he belonged to the innermost cir-
cle of foreign ministry civil ser-
vants involved in contrast to wit-
ness Kiesinger."
He said that Hahn had not acted
on his own initiative but rather out
of opportunism and weakness and
could only be charged with com-
plicity. The prosecution had de-
manded a life sentence for the
former Nazi official.

home town of his Jewish wife, to
become principal of the high
school of that community, the ag-
gravations begin. The anti-Semitie
chairman of the school board
crossed him at every opportunity.
Sophie begins to date the anti-
Semitic woman's son and the con-
flict flares. Her non-Jewish date,
Ricky suggested she join his
church, he fights his mother to
continue the dating, brings Sophie
into a non-Jewish church group.
The prejudices emerge on many
fronts, and when Sophie's uncle
is defeated for the school board,
there was a climax that further
enlightens Sophie on existing con-
ditions.

Sophie learns to respect her Jew-
ish classmates, she establishes
friendly relations with the Goldens,
her mother's family, she has her
eyes opened "to both the pain and
the pride of being an American
Jew."
Hilda Colman made a serious
effort to learn about Jewish cus-
toms and she explains them in her
novel. They are superficial defini-
tions yet they strike at realities.
The moral of the story is, appar-
ently, that it is possible for the
product of a mixed marriage to
get along well in her environment.
It is interesting that the insistence
that the daughter of a JeWish
mother is a Jewess survives the
theme which is so well handled by
the novelist.
