Latvian Sporgis
of war crimes
New York (JTA) — Ef-
forts by the Justice De-
partment to strip Elmars
Sprogis, a 69-year-old
former Latvian police offi-
cial of his American citizen-
ship, were thwarted last
P-' day, when a U.S. district
't judge ruled that the
government had failed to
prove beyond doubt that
Sprogis had collaborated
with the Nazis in Latvia
and participated in the
slaughter of Jewish resi-
dents there during World
War II.
In an 87-page decision,
Judge Frank Altimari
wrote that "while it is evi-
dent that Elmars Sporgis
watched 100 or 150
men, women and children
being marched to an execu-
tion site, the court does not
believe that Congress in-
tended to exclude from citi-
zenship persons who were
present when others were
persecuted."
While Judge Altimari
wrote that people should
"never forget the abomina-
ble atrocities inflicted at the
hands of Hitler's Nazis," he
said the government's wit-
nesses to Sporgis' war
crimes were not sufficiently
credible and left room for
doubt. The government re-
lied on two videotaped in-
terviews conducted in Riga,
Latvia. One witness was a
former Latvian policeman
and the other witness said
Sporgis ordered him to de-
liver valuables taken from
Jews scheduled to be exe-
cuted.

Montreal (JTA) — The

maintains its full member-
ship as a member of the
World Jewish Congress.
The 1,000-member
Jewish community in Cuba
continues to maintain five
synagogues and a Jewish
public library. However, the
community has had diffi-
culty in meeting its own
need for several decades.
After the United States se-
vered its relations with
Cuba in 1960, the CJC has
looked after the needs of
Cuba's Jews.
