Friday, May 21, 1982 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Investigation Sought of U.S. Links to Nazi Criminals (Continued from Page 1) local agents of the Immigra- tion Service." , Spokesmen for the De- fense and State Depart- ments and the FBI declined immediate comment on the charges. But a Justice De- partment spokesman said the department is "aware of these allegations and is looking into them." Loftus estimated that more than 300 Nazi col- ► ... laborators from the Soviet Republic of Byelorussia are living in to U.S. at this time. Some re still employed by government and quasi- government agencies, he said. The Washington Post re- ported that officials of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty confirmed that it . employed several alleged col- laborators named in the "60 Minutes" program but that they are believed to have been cleared by the gov- ernment. One of them was iden- tified as Stanislau Stan- kevitch, recently deceased, who reportedly confessed to the OSI that he was in charge of the large-scale ex- termination of Jews in Byelorussia. Stankevitch, a former freelancer for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, died before he was prose- cuted. Another freelancer em- ployed by the joint radio op- eration who was named on "60 Minutes" is Vilis Hazner. The INS tried but failed to deport him and Hazner, suspended during the investigation, has since been rehired according to William Kratch, New York bureau chief of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. According to "Nazi War Criminals in America — Facts . . . Ac- tion" by Charles Allen and Rochelle Saidel- * * * Court Denies Trifa Appeal WASHINGTON (JTA) — The U.S. Supreme Court re- fused Monday to hear a new appeal for retention of citi- zenship by Archbishop Val- erian Trifa of Grass Lake, Mich., who has been charged wall concealing his leadership role in the fascist Romanian Iron Guard when he applied for U.S. citizen- ship in 1957. The Iron Guard has been blamed for mass murders of Jews and Masons in Bucharest dur- ing World War II. The court issued the ruling with no comment. The effect of the Supreme Court ruling is to uphold a federal district court ruling in Detroit that Trifa's action of voluntarily renouncing his citizenship in 1980 stands. The Immigration and Naturalization_Service is now expected to proceed with its repeatedly-delayed plans to start deportation proceedings against the primate of the Romanian Orthodox Episcopate of America. Kennedy Honored by Aguda, Raps Arms Sale to Jordan NEW YORK (JTA) — Sen. Edward Kennedy (D- Mass .) sharply criticized the Reagan Administration's intention to sell advanced F-5 fighter aircraft, porta- ble Stinger anti-aircraft missiles and laser guided bombs to Jordan. Addressing more than 1,500 people at the 60th an- nual dinner of Agudath Is- rael of America at the New York Hilton, Kennedy de- clared: "I reject the incredi- ble idea of putting Jorda- nian warplanes, missiles and bombs within minutes of the Western Wall in French Delegates Boycott European Parley in Israel PARIS (JTA) — None of e French members of the ouncil of Europe's Politi- cal Commission attended its session in Jerusalem Tues- day. Unconfirmed reports say the French government had privately advised the five French members of the commission that their presence in Jerusalem at this time "would be in- appropriate." Israeli diplomatic sources say that as far as they know, the three deputies and two senators did not attend for "personal or political rea- sons." 4101 , Jerusalem, the factories of Tel Aviv, the boatyards of Haifa, and the kibutzim in Galilee." Peace, Kennedy asserted, "can never be bought by compromising the security of Israel, or by surrendering even one inch of earth to Judenrein." Turning to the issue of Soviet Jewry, Kennedy said: "The Soviets may close Hebrew classes or confiscate books of Jewish learning, but they can never kill the idea of freedom. I am proud that we have worked together to reunite divided families and to free dissi- dents and prisoners of conscience from Soviet tyranny." Rabbi Moshe Sherer, president of Agudath Israel of America, presented the organization's 1982 Humanitarian Award to Kennedy. Checking Saudis TEL AVIV (ZINS) — Haaretz military corre- spondent Zeev Schiff says Israeli reconnaissance over- flights of Saudi airspace are legitimate because Saudi Arabia continues to consider itself at war with Israel. He wrote that the U.S. continues to send its planes over Cuba. Wolk, Hazner was ac- cused of atrocities against Jews in Riga while an officer of the Latvian "Self-Defense Group" and the Nazi- controlled police organ- ization in Riga, the Schutzmannschaft. He was reported in 1980 to be a resident of Dresden, N.Y. Loftus charged that Con- gress was told "flat lies" when it asked the Army in 1978 for information on 111 Nazi war criminals living in the U.S. The Army claimed it had no files on the sus- pects. The General Account- ing Office (GAO) reported in 1978 that it found that Army intelligence agencies had employed 21 reputed Nazi war ceiminals as "sources of information." The OSI, headed by Allan Ryan, was established by the Justice Department to investigate and prosecute alleged Nazis living in the U.S., many of them now naturalized citizens. Last week, the House Judiciary Committee rejected by voice vote a motion by Rep. M. Caldwell Butler (R-Va.) to end funding of the OSI, B&H INSTANT which receives about $3 million a year. The counter-motion which defeated the Butler measure was led by Rep. Frank who observed: "We have made an historic commitment to weed out and deport war criminals as long as they live. If we were to stop hunting Nazi war criminals it would send a terrible signal to other na- tions of the world." American Jewish leaders called on President Reagan and the Congress to order immediate investigations of the allegations.
