The MPA, which in November, 1948, denied the film its
seal of approval—an action tantamount to banning the
movie—earlier heard an appeal by Eagle-Lion Films,
American distributing agent for the British producer, that
it change its original decision. After a lengthy session, the
MPA board of directors suggested that the film be sent
to Joseph I. Breen, administrator of the industry’s
duction code, who was responsible for the original
with the recommendation that he re-examine it to de-

past-president of District Grand

man! His handcuffs had been
removed with the usual polite
pardons and the little Jew who
had been slated for “disappear-
ance” by the U. B. police se-
cret police was out of their
grasp and en route to Israel
and a new life.
His “arrest” was as phony as
his name. The story had its ac-
tual beginnings weeks before
when Jewish underground a-
gents against Communism in
Europe had learned that a cer-
tain “active” Jew was slated
for intensive “interrogation” by
Soviet-dominated "investigat- -iet to freedom while remain-
ing behind themselves, will
continue operations until” the
last possible moment”
And to these unpaid men and
woman who heroically pursue
the hard task of sneaking Jews
across the borders— or seas—
to freedom, the “last possible
moment” has but a single mean
cratic life. Pointing out that
democratic living, appreciation
of the blessings of America were
fourfold on nature, Mr. Edison
extolled the part the Centers
were playing in building a new
morale in the Jewish commun-
ity of the United States.
“The Jewish Community
Center is an instrument of the
development of our people as
Jews and Americans,” he
stated, “with the home, syna-
gogue and school it comprises
the four foremost influences
in our lives. It is a great fac-
tor in the community life of
the individual and as democ-
racy in practice.
Outgoing president Daniel
Schlanger was presented with
an engraved silver plate by the
Southern Section in apprecia-
tion of his excellent services
during the past two years as
president. The presentation fol-
" lowed his report which was well
received.
The Southern Section passed
a resolution urging that Jew-
ish Community Centers co-
operate with USO programs in
their local communities to their
fullest extent, and that the
Centers be urged to offer their
own facilities for" the use of
members of the armed forces.

eliminate objectionable material. Eagle-Lion representa-
tives have expressed agreement with this procedure.
In this country the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai
B’rith and other Jewish groups protested the scheduled
showing of the film on the grounds that one of its central
characters, Fagin, was portrayed in an anti-Semitic man-
ner and would inspire anti-Jewish sentiment. In the
British zone of Germany and other places where the film
was shown public demonstrations were held in protest.
Recently, several groups in this country, including the
New York Chapter of the American Council for Judaism,
have called for lifting of the ban on “Oliver Twist” in the
grounds that the prohibition violates the Bill of Rights.
month periods. What will hap-
pen after that, I don’t know.
Much depends upon the troub-
led international situation.”
Another World War, “Mr. A-
leph" is convinced, might end
European Jewry’s last chances
of ever escaping to Israel.
Of the Soviet Union, “Mr.
Aleph” says, thia:
“We are not attempting any
rescue operations in Russia it-
self because among other fac-
tors, there are very few trust-
worthy agents to help in the
work.”
He explained that all of the
agents of the Jewish under-
ground operating in Poland and
other slave states are “known
to me” and “I can vouch for
their trustworthiness.”
“But,” he added slowly, “if
my agent ‘Chaim’ should be un
der the Communist regime for
25 years—if he should be in-
doctrined and educated in their
ways—and then come to me and
want to do such work as he
now does I do not know wheth-
er I would trust ‘Chaim’ any
longer. It is as simple as that.’
Through constant Soviet liq-
uidation of Zionist elements in
the Soviet Union, “Mr. Aleph”
reported, “the contacts which
once existed between us and
pro-Jewish elements no longer
exists in the truest sense.”
“Mr. Aleph,” the balding
little man with lots of grit and
energy to command the under-
ground network, vows that his
network of agents assigned the
precarious task of sneaking
those Jews trapped by the Sov-
l smuggling more than 1,000 Jews
to safety from Poland and other
I Soviet dominated puppet states?
And what of Jews in the Soviet
I Union itself?
Mr. Aleph,” the under-
ground’s chief, is uncertain of -
the future. Plans in undertak-
ings of this nature, he said,
aren’t made “years ahead—be-
country in 24 hours he might
be out of circulation, so to
speak, forever. Working against
time, as is so often the case
with the heroic agents of the
Jewish underground procured
quickly checked and re-check-
ed. Finally a ship was located.
The agents, using tactics which
distinguish the Jewish under-
ground os one of the most
effective organizations of its
nature, arranged to have the
Jew placed as a crew member.
Meanwhile, through under-
ground channels, word was
rushed to the free port city.
Contacts were made with un-
derstanding and sympathetic in-
dividuals.
