Washington—The unofficial investiga
tion by the House immigration commit
ter into Nazi propaganda in the United
'tales was concluded here with every in
dication that when Congress reconvenes
an official probe will be authorized by
joint resolution of !>oth houses of Con
gress. At the final session of the inquiry,
Congressman Samuel Dickstein, commit
tee chairman, made public a document
on Nazi activities prepared by Maxi
milian Bader, New York attorney.

cased in spreading Nazi propaganda,
arousing anti-Semitism and mobilizing

the report is based on translation of ma
terial collected by the committee during
‘t' hearing which began on November 14.
London—England is proceeding slowly
and cautiously in Palestine because it is
anxious to avoid a situation that would
involve her in difficulties which the Brit-
*'h people would oppose, Colonial Min
uter Cunliffe-Lister is understood to have
told a private session of the pro-govern-
mrnt members of Parliament. He is re
posed to have said that England must
rc< kon equally with the Mohammedan
and Jewish worlds. In a statement be
fore the House of Commons, the Colonial
M nister denied a report that the govern-
mt nt was planning to restrict the number
°f Jewish physicians in Palestine.
Answering a question from Deputy
h* rnett Janner, Cunliffe-Lister declared
f h it Palestine's exports had increased
fr m 11,330,171 in 1922 to 12,381.491 in
19 52. He promised to obtain from High
1 mmissioner Wauchope figures regard

fi< ns since 1922, the number of industries,
•A ab and Jewish, established since that

Hr ash Russia to cease fight on rrligion.
\A arsaw—The World Agudath Israel
has started to circulate a petition which
will be submitted to the United States
government asking that it use its influ
ence with the Soviet government to have
the Russian war on rrligion called off.

the petition is Dr. Nahum Sokolow, presi
dent of the World Zionist Organization,

New York—Because Art J. Smith,
“Commanding General of the Khaki
Shirts of America," had threatened to
“kill all the Jews in the United States"
unless his bodyguard, Samuel Z. Wein,
a Philadelphia Jew, helped to railroad
Athoa Terzani, an anti-Fascist, for the
murder of Antonio Fierro, another anti-
Fascist, during a Khaki Shirt meeting
last July. Wein turned State's evidence
at Terzani* trial and his testimony was
largely instrumental in the acquittal of
the young anti-Fascist.
Wein, a former “major-general" of the
Khaki Shirts, who had previously told
the grand jury that I'erzani had fired
the fatal shot, admitted at the trial that
he had lied because of Smith's threat.
Then he told the court that the actual
slayer was a man by the name of Frank
Moffer. Wein’s testimony revealed that
he had become conscience-stricken last
August and confided in Leon Melzer,
president of the Philadelphia branch of
the American Jewish Congress, who put
him in touch with the Terzani defense
committee, which was headed by Arthur
Garfield Hays.
Istanbul—Thirty-six of the most emi

University. The reorganization was car
ried through by Dr. Philippe Schwarz,
former professor of pathological anatomy
at the University of Frankfurt, who now
holds the same chair at the Istanbul Uni-
ersity. The revamped university replaces
an old institution which was closed by
the government on August 1 when 96 of
the former professors were dismissed.
This action of the Turkish government
has given rise to the unfounded report
