/- The Michigan Daily-Friday, January 16, 1981-Page 5 SWEDISH DIPLOMAT SAVED 20,000 JEWS FROM NAZIS Hero believed alive STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP)-Foreign Minister Ola Ulisten said yesterday Sweden has never ac- cepted Soviet declarations that Raoul Wallenberg, the diplomat credited with saving 20,000 Jews from Nazi execution in World War II, died in a Moscow prison in 1947. In a statement to an international hearing on the Wallenberg mystery, Ullsten said that although the Soviet Union says Wallenberg died, "the Swedish government has never accep- ted this as the final answer in this case." The hearing seeks to shed new light on the fate of Wallenberg, who fell into the hands of the Red Army in Hungary in 1945. After denying for 12 years any knowledge of Wallenberg, the Soviet Union in 1957 claimed that Wallenberg had died in a Moscow prison. BUT THERE HAVE been persistent reports that Wallenberg was still alive in the Soviet Union at age 68. In November, Wallenberg's sister said she had "recent evidence he is alive and fairly well."

A Tass commentary on the hearing said the Soviet government carried out a thorough investigation and deter- mined Wallenberg died in 1947. Reports that he has since been seen alive "were at variance with reality," Tass said. Ullsten said that "in the last few years new information has prompted the Swedish government on two oc- casions to direct inquiries to the Soviet government" in the case. "The unhelpful Soviet attitude is all the more unacceptable when we con- sider the humanitarian mission which Raoul Wallenberg performed so splen- didly in saving the lives of thousands and thousands of human beings from Nazi concentration camps," Ullsten's statement said. The hearing is led by a panel of 28 lawyers, politicians and scientists from eight Western countries and sponsored by the Swedish Raoul Wallenberg Association. Wallenberg arrived in Budapest in p944 on a U.S. sponsored mission to save Jews from the Nazi gas chambers. lie and his aides managed to save some 20,000 Jews by issuing them special passports or Swedish papers.

Thousands gater for Kings 52nd birthday I From AP and UPI Tens of thousands of admirers of Martin Luther King Jr. celebrated the slain civil rights leader's birthday yesterday, marching for brotherhood in snowy Washington, going forward as "apostles for peace" in Atlanta, and vastly outnumbering a few neo-Nazis in Buffalo, N.Y. A proposal to make King's birthday a national holiday was introduced in Congress yesterday-just as it had been every year since King's death in 1968. Every year, it has been turned down.. The latest measure was introduced in the Senate by Sen. Charles Mathias, (R- Md.), Sen. Edward Kennedy, (D- Mass.), and eight others. WHAT WAS BILLED AS a "white civil rights" rally in Buffalo drew, only four or five people, one of whom got into a brief scuffle with counter-demon-. strators that was quiekly stopped by police. The Nazi leader was escorted away, uninjured. The show of force by 500 anti-Nazi demonstrators was followed by an of- ficially-sanctioned memorial that drew. some 5,080 people to commemorate the, 2nd anniversary of King's birth. In the nation's capital, marchers from 30 cities walked Pennsylvania Avenue from the Capitol to the Washington Monument, carrying signs that read: "Let's Make This a Day of Celebration-Happy Birthday to Mar- tin Luther King" and "I Have a bream-March for Peace," a referen- ce to King's merhorable speech in Washington. 3 AN ESTIMATED 15,000 people gathered on the Mall at a rally organized by pop singer Stevie Wonder to further King's goal of "unity and peace and brotherhood." Organizers said 300 buses brought marchers to Washington to seek a national holiday for King, who led historic demon- strations and protests to call attention to discrimination against blacks. Among those bused to Washington were around 400 residents of Memphis, where King was assassinated almost 13 years ago. One group, as it climbed aboard a bus, chanted, "We won't let no Reagan turn us around. . . We're going to keep on a'walking, keep on a'talking till we get this legislation passed." In another Washington. tribute, hun- dreds of Justice Department em- ployees., most of them black, crammed, the department's "Great Hall" for a commemorative ceremony. Attorney General Benjamin Civiletti said King's name was one of the few in modern history that served as an immediate symbol of peace and the betterment of mankind. AN ESTIMATED 5,000 people joined the family of the late Martin Luther King Jr. in Atlanta in an emotional ceremony at the slain civil rights leader's gravesite. King's widow, Coretta Scott King, and other family members attended a rally at an Atlanta high school and then marched about three miles to place wreaths at his tomb, ringed by a silent crowd. Mrs. King received a standing ovation at the rally. She told her audience: "When we march down to the crypt today, I want you to do it just like Martin Luther King, Jr. did it. And when we get to the crypt, we're gonna be silent and dignified. Let's get serious ...We must let the world know we mean business."
