John Machover,
Zionist, Defender
of Mendel Beilis
LONDON (JTA) — John M.
Machover, veteran Zionist leader,
social worker, leading internation-
al lawyer and respected sage, died
here Tuesday shortly after his 91st
birthday.
Born in Mogilev, Czarist Russia,
Mr. Machover was graduated from
the University of St. Vladimir in
Kiev and practiced law in that
city until after the Russian Revo-
lution of 1917. In 1913, he was
junior defense counsel in the trial
of Mendel Beilis, who was ac-
quitted of blood-libel charges. For
many years, Mr. Machover was a
Jewish self-defense leader in the
Ukraine, coining the maxim: "There
were never any pogroms where.
there was effective Jewish self-
defense."
Mr. Machover was a leader of
Russian Zionism for two decades.
He wrote, lectured and organized
and was a delegate to several
Zionist congresses. Frustration
with what he deemed slow progress
under the British Mandate drove
him into the Revisionist camp. A
friend of Vladimir Jabotinsky since
early youth, he became a close
adviser to the Revisionist leader.
But Mr. Machover did not follow
Jabotinsky when the Revisionist
left the World Zionist Organization.
Moving to England after the Rus-
sian Revolution, Mr. Machover co-
founded the Federation of Jewish
Relief Organizations (FJRO) in
1920 and was its chairman for
many years.
Mr. Machover, who was hale,
hearty and in full mental vigor to
the day of his death, told the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency last
month that he was completing his
autobiography and another book.

can Apathy," published in 1967,
which accused the Roosevelt ad- Classified Ads Get Quick Results
ministration in World War II of
failing to act when there was a
possibility of rescuing substantial
numbers of Jews from the Nazi
holocaust.
One of the principle bases for
the charges in Morse's book was
a memorandum sent to President
Roosevelt in 1944 by Secretary of
the Treasury Henry Morgenthau
Jr., criticizing the State Depart-
ment for having delayed for five
months a proposal to negotiate with
the Nazis for the release of thou-
sands of Jews in France and Ro-
mania.
Morse contended in his book
that as early as August 1942, a
Geneva representative of the World
Jewish Congress reported through
the U.S. Consulate reliable infor-
mation from a German source that
Hitler had ordered the extermina-
tion of all Jews in Europe. The
State Department in Washington
did not transmit this message to
American Jewish leaders. Ameri-
can officials were said to have re-
garded the report as "fantastic"
and to have concluded that even
if true the U.S. could not have
assisted the victims.
Morse, the son of Dr. and Mrs.
Frank Moskowitz, was born in
Brooklyn, N.Y. and was educated
at the University of Virginia. He
served as an officer in the U.S.
Navy during World War II.
