JWV, ADL Hit Nomination of Ex-Nazi as Rotary Head
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The Jewish War Veterans of
the United States has urged
the nominating committee
of the International Rotary
Club to withdraw its nomi-
nation of Wolfgang Wick of
Austria because of his Nazi
past. Wick was selected for
the presidency of Interna-
tional Rotary and, in the
absence of any other candi-
date, is expected to be
elected at the 'Rotary con-
vention in New Orleans.

tional Commander of the
JWV, wrote to the 11 mem-
bers of the nominating com-
mittee that the "election of
Wick to the office of Presi-
dent of International Ro-
tary is totally unacceptable
to our organization and
American Jewry."
He cited Wick's member-
ship in the Nazi Party, be-
ginning in 1933, his mem-
bership in the SS and his
post as commissar for Nazi
industry in Austria during
World War II.
The nomination of such
a person reflects nega-
tively on the International
Rotary and is difficult to
understand because the
Nazis were always hostile
toward the Rotary organi-
zation, Ribner wrote. He
pointed out that the Rotar-
ians within the JWV, in
the U.S. and in Holland,
Belgium, Switzerland and
Israel have protested vig-
orously against Wick's

District Attorneys, Wiesenthal
Demaild U.S. Action on Nazis
NEW ORLEANS (JTA)
— The board of directors of
the National District Attor-
neys Association at its mid-
winter meeting last week
unanimously adopted a res-
olution urging the United
States government to act
promptly in prosecuting the
some 50 alleged Nazi war
criminals living in the U.S.
"The American people
are entitled to the assur-
ance, more than 30 years
after the end of the Second
World War, that this na-
tion has not become a ha-
ven for persons who par-'
ticipated in these crimes,"
the resolution stressed.
The district attorneys
urged that the U.S. Depart-
ment of Justice and the U.S.
Immigration and Naturali-
zation Service "act dili-
gently and expeditiously to
resolve these cases"; that
the INS "accelerate the pace
of its investigation to enable
an expeditious resolution of
these cases"; that the State
Department "cooperate
fully" with INS in seeking
evidence from foreign
sources, and that Congress
"act on legislation to give
the Immigration and Natur-
alization Service clear au-
thority to seek the deporta-
tion of aliens who engaged
in the persecution of others
for the Nazis."
Meanwhile, Nazi-hunter
Simon Wiesenthal has
charged that "a very big
bureaucracy" in the
United States hampered
the apprehension of 62
Nazi war criminals he
says are living in the U.S.
He told a Chicago press
conference last Thursday
that it took nine years be-
tween the discovery of Mrs.
Hermine Braunsteiner
Ryan, a Long Island house-
wife who was an alleged for-
mer concentration camp
supervisor, and her extradi-
tion to West Germany
where she is now on trial.
Wiesenthal said he has

of New York voted unani-
mously last week to oppose
the nomination of Wick.
Wick was quoted in news re-
ports from Vienna as saying
he was only a "simple mem-
ber" of the Nazi Party and
was drafted into the SS in
February, 1945, a few

discussed the bureaucracy
problem with members of
Congress.
He said there are about
150,000 Nazi war criminals
alive and only one in five has
been brought to trial. He
said he feels it is his "duty"
to find and expose Nazi war
criminals but warned that
time is running out since
West Germany's statute of
limitations on their crimes
expires in 1979.
Speaking earlier in New
York at the Baruch Col-
lege of City University,
Wiesenthal said one of the
suspect Nazi war crimi-
nals is a former minister of
interior of Croatia now
believed living in Califor-
nia.
He said meeting with
Senators and Congressional
aides in Washington left
him with the impression
that the attitude of Ameri-
can government officials to
tracking down the war
criminals is "very sympa-
thetic."
Wiesenthal said that the
memory of the Nazi murder
of millions of Jews must be
kept alive because "nobody
knows — maybe the mass
murderers of tomorrow are
born today."
`Jewish Novel
at Critical Stage'.
NEW YORK — The mod-
ern American Jewish novel
has reached a "critical
stage," according to a noted
author, critic, and editor
involved in the American lit-
erary scene for the past four
decades, and now teaching
at Yeshiva University.
"Both the public and the
critics have finally seen the
lack of authenticity and ar-
tistic quality in some of our
`temporary immortals',"
said Charles Angoff, visit-
ing pr6fessor of liberature
at Yeshiva University's
Stern College for Women.
"We are now coming back
to the first principles in
novel writing: development
of character- and illumina-
tion of situation," he said.
Angoff, author or editor
of some 40 books of poetry,
fiction, literary criticism,
biography and essays, said
this trend in the Jewish
novel is similar to what is
happening to the general
American novel. "The Jew-
ish American novel often
reflects the currents in the
general American novel."
Neither let the alien, that
bath joined himself to the

Lord will surely spearate

months before the end of
the war in Europe.
"1 did not join in voluntar-
ily and there was no way to
avoid it," Wick told report-
ers.
(It was reported in Israel
that contrary to an earlier
account, no invitation was
sent to Wick by the Weiz-
mann Institute of Science to
participate in dedication
ceremonies of the new
French House on the Insti-
tute's campus in Rehovot.)
In New York, 'the Anti-
Defamation League of
Bnai Brith lodged a pro-
test with Rotary Interna-
tional's secretary general
in Illinois.
Lawrence Peirez, chair-
man of ADL's civil rights
committee, said ADL had
confirmed the information
about Wick's Nazi past
through Simon Wiesenthal,
head of the Jewish Docu-
mentation center in
Vienna.
Pierez quoted the secre-
tary general of Rotary In-
ternational as saying "that
the organization has no
provisions for investigating
people, but was aware of the
allegations against Wick
through protests from
Dutch Rotarians."
Several U.S. Rotarian
groups have announced
plans to nominate someone
for the office. If no other
candidate is formally nomi-
nated by April 16 Wick will
be declared president. An-
other candidate would force
an election at the Rotary
convention this summer in
New Orleans.
