the president was aware of
Mr. Shalikashvili's ties to
the SS, however, until they
were made public last week.
The Pentagon official told
the Times that President
Clinton's description on
Aug. 11 of his nominee's
family origins had been
carefully worded to avoid
any mention of the father's
service in the German
Army.
On that day, Mr. Clinton
nominated the Polish-born
John Shalikashvili to
replace Gen. Colin Powell as
chairman of the Joint
Chiefs, the chief military
adviser to the president.
At the time, Mr. Clinton
painted the Shalikashvili
family's flight from Europe
to the United States in poig-
nant tones, stressing the
success story of an immi-
grant who reached the top of
the U.S. military.
"In 1944, when he was 8
years old, his family fled in a
cattle car westward to Ger-
many in front of the Soviet
advance," Mr. Clinton said
in a Rose Garden ceremony.
Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean
of the Wiesenthal Center,
said that Mr. Clinton's
description of the family
fleeing in a "cattle car" was
inappropriate.
"Perpetrators never went
in cattle cars. They went
first class," Rabbi Hier said.
"There would have been a
better way to introduce the
nominee, on his own values
and merits."
The Wiesenthal Center,
while stating that it was not
criticizing the younger
Shalikashvili, raised ques-
tions about how the elder
Shalikashvili and his family
was allowed into the United
States after World War II.
The family arrived in this
country in 1952, when the
current nominee was 16.
Rabbi Flier said he thought
some senators would be rais-
ing the issue of how the
Shalikashvili family entered
the United States.
It is an issue "worthy of
full disclosure," Rabbi Hier
added.
The Pentagon was stan-
ding by the nominee once
the news about his father
was made public.
"Gen. John M.
Shalikashvili's superb
record of achievement in the
United States Army speaks
for itself," Secretary of
Defense Les Aspin said.
"Allegations about his
father are not relevant to
Gen. Shalikashvili's nomi-
nation to be the next chair-
man of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff," Mr. Aspin said.
