'Detroiter Denies Iron Guard Involvement
in Threatening Letter to Jewish News

A Detroit-area resident, in
a letter this week to The
Jewish News, strongly ob-
jected to the inclusion of his
name in a list of alleged
former Iron Guardists who
are believed to be meeting as
a group here.
V. Mircea Banciu of Royal
Oak sent a registered let-
ter June 17, demanding that
his views be presented, else
he will sue for libel. He
wrote:
"The 'Iron Guard' was a
political organization open to
all people of the country and
dedicated to the fight against
Communist imperialism. The
organization was thrice abol-
ished (prohibited) by three
successive Romanian govern-
ments many decades ago.
"Your (The Jewish News')
way 'to present the activity
of that organization and your
false allegation about my in-
volvement with it, harmed
gravely my social position."
A Jewish News' source,
who has been active in the
fight against Bishop Valerian
Trifa, a Romanian Iron
Guard youth leader, said that
he would be willing to appear
as a witness against former
guardists. Several have been
called before the INS to give
testimony in the Trifa case.
Trifa has been accused of
leading pogroms in Bucharest

PERHAPS YOU THINK
OF WARREN AS
A FOREIGN COUNTRY.
GOOD.

In fact, you probably feel the same way,
about Utica. That's good, too. Because when you
visit Warren and Utica, you can do just what you
go to any foreign country to do: shop for
handsome, men's clothes that weren't made in
America Van Dyke Clothiers and the Next Door
, shops are full of them. In fact, we think the
Europeans and Canadians design and tailor their
clothing so well that we go all the way to Europe
and Canada for almost every piece of clothing we
sell. So you won't have to. All you have to do is
come to some nice little foreign country close to -
home. Like Warren.

in 1941.
The Immigration and Nat-
uralization Service has stat-
ed that it requires testimony
of on-the-spot witnesses if
the Trifa case is to be carried
further.
In appealing for more wit-
nesses, Dr. Charles H. Krem-
er, president of the ROman-
ian Jewish Federation of
America, said witnesses may
be assured that their testi-
mony would be kept secret
to all but the INS investiga-
tors. The Jewish News'
source himself has sent the
names of 50 possible witnes-
ses to the INS.
Trifa, whose headquarters
is outside Jackson, Mich.,
was tried and convicted in
absentia by the Romanians

for his role in an Iron Guard
insurrection in January 1941.
The uprising turned into a
pogrom in which hundreds
of Jews and Christians died.
The INS has been accused
of foot-dragging in the in-
vestigation into Trifa's back-
ground and the allegation
that he lied about his past
when he was naturalized in
1957. He came to this coun-
try in 1950.
Trifa has had difficulties
within his church, the Rom-
anian Orthodox Episcopate of
America. His foes claim he
has only 4,500 members and
the membership is declining
still further.
Several of the anti-Trifa
camp have formed a com-
mittee to print a newspaper,

the charges against Trifa. In-
cluded is material from a
book written by a former
Iron Guardist, now a priest
in Argentina, who listed
Trifa's guard activities dur-
ing the war.
The Jewish News' source
said he showed the book to
the INS," and they grabbed
it like a piece of cake."
The source- said there is
much literature being cir-
culated in Detroit by for-
mer Iron Guardists, some of
whom never bothered to

although they've been in the
U.S. more than 20 years.
Much of the material is pub-
lished in Madrid w her e
former Iron Guard leader
Horia Sima lives. Some of
the material is blatantly anti-
Semitic; all is anti-American,
said the source.
Until now, he said, "noth-
ing scared these people. Now
they're scared like hell."
