a a a I 2 THE WISCONSIN JEWISH CHRONICLE November 13, 1953 Hungarian Nazis Find Haven in U. S. WASHINGTON A group of Hungarian Nazis, intent on resuming their anti-Semitic activities, have been welcomed to the United States as desirable "anti-Communists." according to a documented expose currently distributed by the B'nai B'rith A AntiLeague through the medium of the ADL Bulletin. Not only are Hungarian Nazis stirring anti-Semitism here, said the report by Dr. ABL.
Joseph L. Lichten, but they have penetrated such organizations as the National Committee for a Free Europe which operates Radio Free Europe, financed by the Crusade for Freedom. The ADL has devoted much space in its last two bulletins to the wholesale to the United States of described admission, by the ADL as "pogrom inciters who are waging a propaganda battle for support of a future Fascist Hungary." It called the new arrivals "the weird flock of Hungarian Nazis who as 'displaced persons' found propaganda haven 111 the United States." The series is entitled. "Who let them in?" This question is rhetorical since the ADL knows that the State Department, Visa Division has clearly said that it feels Nazis and other varieties of Fascists represent no threat to the security of the United States. Name Still Active Nazi WASHINGTON WEEK By MILTON FRIEDMAN Hungary.
The ADL bulletin said "he was the man very largely responsible for the inhuman methods used to deport Jews from Kassa, where the Nazis operated a sort of staging area for shipping victims to Auschwitz." Later. "as a ister of Interior, the Baron attended a secret government parley on September 11, 1944, at which Admiral Horthy, the Hungarian Regent, suggested the possibility of negotiating a truce with the Allies. The tide of war had turned by then but Schell argued violently and bitterly against any desertion from Hitler Out-and-Out Nazi Group A leading Hungarian "anti-Communist" group calls itself the "Hungarian Liberty Movement." It is headed by General Ferenc Farkas de Kisbarnek, who served as a member of the court martial committee that sentenced to death most of the leaders of Hungarian resistance. It was this court which arrested and detained Cardinal Mindszenty for his part in antiNazi activities. The "Hungarian Liberty Movement," said the ADL bulletin.
"is an out-and-out Nazi group. But that didn't prevent General Farkas from visiting the United States in 1952 to make an 'anti- speech at Manhattan Center in New York." Instance after instance is cited in the report revealing how Hungarian anti-Semites have boldly begun to organize the Hungarian community in the United States. Some are "noblemen" like Count Bela Teleki who is greeted in society circles. Istvan Eszterhaus. who actively served extremists and wrote a Hungarian book demanding extermination of Jews, is Denes Kacsoh.

So are a lot the root of all this dangerous evil." said the ADL bulletin. "is the tragic naivete of many Americans who mistakenly accept the premise that anyone who professes anti-Communism is intrinsically our ally against Red totalitarianism." (Copyright, 1953. JTA).

Alfred E. Driscoll announced appointment of Edward Gaulkin, well-known attorney and prosecutor and figure in the Jewish community as judge of the Essex County Court. Mr. Gaulkin was brought to this country Russia by his parents when he was three years old and lived in New York for five years before the family moved to Perth Amboy. He worked his way through school and began his legal career as clerk to Arthur T.

Transfer Crewmen from Planes Crossing Egypt THE HAGUE (JTA) All Jewish crewmen of Dutch KIM planes flying to Indonesia via Beirut and Cairo have been transferred to other flights because of the refusal of Egypt and Lebanon to grant visas to Jewish airmen who touch down at their airports, a spokesman for Royal Dutch Airlines disclosed here. The spokesman said the company's action was not due to any desire on the part of the Royal Dutch Airlines to be a party' to racial discrimination, but for the "sake of We Kiss a Book By David Schwartz This is Jewish Book Month. Actually, with Jews the whole year is a book year. Where other people in their faiths stand in adoration before images, and kiss rings and other symbols of faith.
we synagogues rise from our only when a book is 'Seats brought forth from the ark and we kiss only a book the Torah. It is significant that the the institutions of the new Israel to attain relative completion was the Jewish National Library. The story of the Russian Jewish physician, Dr. Joseph Chasanovitz, who decades before the Balfour Declaration, accepted books in payment for his medical services books with which the foundation of the Jewish Homeland library was laid has become legendary. It is because of a finally came back to Israel.
Take away that Book, and we should have disappeared among the nations. We respect we venerate books. So much so. that it is inevitable perhaps but that sometimes we weary of them and, as Ecclesiasties long ago sighed. "To the making of books there is no end." An ancient Jewish sage said that people differ in their ways of handling books.
Some are those who press only the watery like ends of grapes in making wine and others are like those who squeeze out the full juice and get the rich wine. So there are those who skim books superfically and those who get the substance. And there are those who do not even skim books superficially and those SO high a pedestal, I am afraid hat when it comes to reading books, the Jewish record today is not one that we need to boast of. "You Got to Read Them' The late Prof. Neumark of Hebrew Union College, who wrote many philosophical books, once said.
"Boys, it is not enough to write a book and it is not enough to have them published. You've got to read them too. Don't depend on vour friends to read them." Books are of many kinds. I remember a true story of the first World War. Secretary of War Newton Baker commissioned Julius Rosenwald to go to Europe on some war errand.
Mr. Rosenwald took with him many copies of a book which he distributed among the wounded American soldiers in the hospitals. All of these hospitals had libraries for the sick soldiers and it was found that the book Mr. Rosenwald had given them was the book most prized by the sick soldiers. I suppose this book will never get the Pulitzer prize.

Scarcity of Jewish Pro Gridders Highly Noticeable in Season's Play NEW YORK With another National Professional Football League season launched, it is readilv noticeable that" Jewish players are mighty scarce in the play-for-pay grid ranks.
There was a time when the league boasted quite a few Jewish standouts, but in recent years these "BUCKETS" GOLDENBERG stars notably Sid Luckman, Wayne Millner and Buckets Goldenberg have not been replaced. While there are no are head coaches, two teams boast assistant coaches who have made quite a name for themselves as strategists. They are Al Sherman, backfield coach of the New York Giants and Phil Handler, co-coach of the Chicago Cards. Millner also served as Philadelphia pilot for one campaign. Through the years of professional football, the following Jewish players have stood out: Packers Had Three They are (in alphabetical or- der): Nathan Abrams, Green Bay; George Abramson, Green Bay; Joseph Bernstein, Rock Island; Morris Blumenthal, Chicago Cards: George Cafego, Brooklyn; Leo Cantor, New York: Dick Fishel, Brooklyn; Benny Friedman, Brooklyn; Bob Friedman, delphia; Marshall Goldberg, Pittsburgh; Charles Goldenberg, Green Bay.

Friedman Misses Honor Of this group, Luckman and Milner have won places on the third all-time pro league team, while Newman and Goldenberg recognition on the yearly I selections. Oddly enough, Friedman, the greatest of them all, did not gain all-time support, a result of his playing six pro campaigns with four different teams. He played at Cleveland in 1927, in Detroit the following, year, and then shifted to Brooklyn.

(Across From the Hotel Schroeder) An important point made in the ADL series is that "hundreds" of individuals, Nazis recently but still admitted active are ones." Named specifically were such men as Laszlo Agh, whom the ADL bulletin, described as a commander Hungarian forced labor battalion which contained "Jews and those Hungarian liberwho had protested too Mr. Agh was called "a man of sadistic cruelty as records and affidavits now prove.
His defenseless victims were beaten regularly kicked with heavy military boots until they sank in unconsciousness. On occasion he forced them to eat their own excrement. Once. in a moment of frenzy, he ordered that Ferdinand Deutsch, a prominent lawyer and liberal, be hoisted bodily and tossed out of a window. The victim died instantly." Mr.
Agh is living todav in the United States. "He is quite busy too." said the ADL bulletin, "serving as the official representative here of the Magyar Harcosok Bajtarsi Kozossege (Hungarian Veterans Association), whose membership Hungarian Nazis who escaped retribution and are living in exile, mostly Europe, marking while they nourish the hope that a new war will open the path for their return to power in Hungary. Expert observers are quoted as saying conservatively that at least 2.000 Hungarian Nazis have been cleared for entry by the American authorities Germany. We are also receiving the benefit of German Nazis and their fellow travelers among other nationality groups. An outstanding example is Andrija Artukovic who participated in the extermination of a Jews as Police Minister of Croatia.
He is now appearing as an "antiCommunist" lecturer before Los Angeles civic groups. "The absurdity of our immigration policy," said the ADL bulletin. "has allowed mundreds of Fascist leaders to infiltrate similarly the Slovak and Lithuanian communities in America, as well as those of other foreign-language groups. Most shocking of all, however, is the manner in which these Nazis and collaborationists have moved into dominant propaganda spots with such important organizations as the National Committee for a Free Europe."
