STATE REPRESENTATIVE
Majority Floor Leader
Paid for by Citizens to Re-elect JOE FORBES, 24541 Harding, Oak Park, Michigan, 48237
NEW YORK (JTA) — A
man who has been cam-
paigning for almost 30
years to bring to justice
Nazi war criminals residing
in the United States warned
that the efforts to deport
Bishop Valerian Trifa, the
leader of the fascist Roma-
nian Iron Guard during
World War II, may be lost
unless there is enough pres-
sure on the U.S. Attorney
General's office and the
Immigration and Naturali-
zation Service (INS) to end
its continuous postpone-
ment of the case.
Dr. Charles H. Kramer,
president of the Committee
to Bring Nazi War Crimi-
nals to Justice in the U.S.,
who is also president of the
Romanian Jewish Federa-
tion .of America, said that
the case against Trifa has
been dragging on since
May 1975 "during which
there have been three
different U.S. Attorneys
General and, the deaths of
some of our most important
eyewitnesses against
Trifa."
In a letter to Jewish
organizations Kramer,
who is 80 years old, noted
that "Trifa's pogrom took
place in January 1941.
Our witnesses are over 70
years old. They cannot
live forever: Only Trifa is
still relatively young —
now 64 years old."
Kramer said he has sub-
mitted documentation to
the Attorney General's
office and the INS since
1952 "and last year I under-
took a trip to Europe and Is-
rael specifically concerning
this issue. I returned with
an additional list of over 50
witnesses which I have per-
sonally discovered and
which I submitted to Martin
Mendelsohn, head of the
litigation unit of the INS
involved with trying Nazi
war criminals."
Kramer noted that Trifa
has reportedly collected
$680,000 for a defense fund
while "our government is
not spending that kind of
money to win the case."
Two are better than.
three. Woe to the one who
disappears and never re-
turns.
