PARIS (JTA)—A French
attorney, Michel Blum, said
that a week-long investiga-
tion he conduced in Israel
has not furnished him with
proof that the defendants in
the recent trial of Arab and
Jewish members of a Syrian-
directed spy ring had been
tortured.
Blum, who carried out his
investigation on behalf of the
Catholic organization "Pax
Romana" and the Interna-
tional Federation for the
Rights of Man, said "I have
not found a single proof that
torture has been used on
any of the defendants." He
said that only the lawyer of
one of the defendants Soki
Katim, an Arab, had charged
that his client had been sub-
jected to electric shocks,
beatings and "the bathtub
treatment" but that a doctor
had found no traces of these
tortures.

Remembrance Day
Decreed by Congress
NEW YORK (JTA) — The
American Federation of Jew-
ish Fighters, Camp Inmates
and Nazi Victims announced
that "Yom Hashoa," a re-
membrance day for Jewish
martyrdom, will be observed
in Jewish communities across
the country April 28 and 29.
Eli Zborowski, president of
the group, said more than
70 national Jewish organiza-
tions had signed a proclama-
tion calling on "all Jews to
assemble in their synagogues
and places of assembly to
commemorate the heroic
deeds of our people in the
European catastrophe."
Congress has adopted with-
out dissent a joint resolution
proclaiming April 29 the 30th
anniversary of the Warsaw
Ghetto uprising.
Action on the resolution
was completed by the Senate
where it had been introduced
by Senators Jacob K. Javits
(R-NY) and Abraham Ribi-
coff (D-Conn.). It was orig-
inally introduced in the House
by Rep. Bertram P o d e 11
(D-NY) and 20 co-sponsors.
T h e resolution observes
that the Nazis were con-
fronted by "beleaguered and
outnumbered Jews who by
their heroic struggle reaf-
firmed the ineradicable deter-
mination of mankind to fight
for freedom from oppression
and symbolized the indes-
tructible spirit of liberty."
