Orthodox Jewry
WASHINGTON (WNS)
The State Department has
been asked to launch an in-
vestigation with regard to
alleged statements by one
of its officials seriously de-
faming “the Orthodox Jew-
ish citizens of the United
States,” it was disclosed here
following a protest filed by
the A g u d a t h Israel of
America with President
Eisenhower and the Secre-
tary of State.
The letters of protest were
predicted by a report in the
National Jewish Post to the
effect that the official,
Edwin Wright, assistant
dean of the Foreign Service
Institute of the State De-
partment had allegedly said
in a lecture delivered at the
National Presbyterian
Church here that Orthodox
Jews had “contributed no-
thing to the advancement of
our modern world ” and that
“no Jewish scientists are or-
thodox.” Mr. Wright was
also alleged to have asserted
that the “Jewish religion
doesn’t allow people to
think” and to have accused
Jews of “dual loyalty.”
More Hungarian Jews
Reach Austrian Refuge
VIENNA (WNS)—A group
of 108 Hungarian Jews arriv-
ed here last week, augmenting
the total of Jewish refugees
who have reached this city to
468, it was reported here by
Jewish community leaders.
Among the new arrivals
were rabbis Arthur Kaufman
and I. Levenstein. The new ar-
rivals reached the city by trac-
tors and Some of them were
able to save minor personal be-
longings. Apart from the new
arrivals, about 360 have so far
registered with the Vienna
Jewish community. There are
no figures available on the
number of Jewish arrivals
from strife-torn Hungary, since
there are many who came di-
rectly to friends and relatives
and others who made adjust-
ments in private facilities. It
is estimated however that at
least 500 reached this city.

WASHINGTON (WNS) —
Immediate “and effective ac-
tion towards halting the cur-
rent mass deportation of Jews
from the Russian-Polish bor-
der to exile and imprisonment
in concentration camps in Si-
beria” was urged1 by the
American Jewish Committee
in a communication to Acting
Secretary of State Herbert C.
Hoover, Jr.
At the same time, the Com-
mittee asked that the United
States government vigorously
condemn “this new act of in-
humanity” before the current
session of the United Nations
General Assembly. In its state-
ment called for a twofold ap-
proach through parallel actions
which included representation
by the State Department to the
Soviet government and United
States action in the United Na-
4
tions.
The appeal which came in
the form of a letter signed by
Irving M. Engel, President of
the committee, to Mr. Hoover
and Ambassador Henry Cabot
Lodge, permanent United
States representative to the
United Nations, cited a report
on the deportations by com-
mittee representatives in Vien-
na and other European cen-
ters. The letter also quoted a
dispatch in the New York
Times, of November 8th, which
reported exteinsively on the
new Soviet move.
Branding this latest Soviet
maneuver as “another mani-
festation of the true character
of Communist policy,” the
Committee charged that “this
revival of the Nazi system of
deportation,” coming as it does
in the wake of the Hungarian
suppressions, proves that “So-
viet policy has returned, full
circle, to the inhuman methods
of Stalinism.”
JEWISH LABOR GROUP
APPEALS TO PRESIDENT
In New York City, the na-
tional chairman of the Jewish
Labor Committee, Adolph
Held, disclosed that his organ-
ization sent a wire to Presi-
dent Eisenhower urging that
“imperative United States ac-
tion in the United Nations be
taken” to aid those who have
been deported or marked for
deportation to Siberia by the
Soviet Union.
At the same time a deliga-
tion of the Jewish Labor Com-
mittee presented a memoran-
dum to U. S. Ambassador
Henry Cabot Lodge, chief of
the American delegation to the
United Nations, urging that the
issue of Soviet Russian’s mass
deportation of Jews from Po-
lish and Lithuanian territor-
ies be brought by the U. S.
Government “without delay”
before the U. N. General As-
sembly.
