24 Farben Directors Freed,
9 Convicted by U. S. Tribunal
Nuremberg, Germany (JPS)—
Twenty-four top director* * of the
giant I. G. Farben chemical com
bine were acquitted by an Amer
ican military tribunal last week
of charges that they conspired
with Hitler to start World War
Two, but nine of the directors
were found guilty of war crimes
after the shooting started.
The war crimes charges, in
volving plunder and spoliation in
Nazi-occupied countries and the
use of slave labor from the Os-
wiccim (Auschwitz) death camp,
have been amply proven, the tri
bunal said, against directors Her
mann Schmitz, Georg von Schnitz-
ler, Fritz ter Meer, Ernst Buergin,
Paul llarfliger, Max Ilgner,
Friedrich Jaehne, Heinrich Oster
and Hans Kuggler.
The acquittal of the 24 defen
dants on charges of plotting war
marked the third instance where
American war crimes prosecutors
have failed to make their charges
stick. Several months ago other
courts dismissed similar charges
against the top men of Krupp,
German’s largest munitions firm,
and threw out the charges against
Nazi banking expert Hjalmar
Schacht.

Civil Rights
Group Formed
NEW YORK, (JTA)—The for
mation of the National Citizens
Council on Civil Rights to pro
mote the establishment of a per
manent governmental commission
on civil rights, was announced
here this week by 48 religious,
educational, business and civil
leaders.
In a statement released by its
temporary chairman, Dean Ernest
O. Melby, the Council said that
“full civil rights can best be won
in each man’s backyard” and that
the “American heritage of civil
rights must be kept before the
American people as a non-par
tisan, non-political issue.” Among
those comprising the Council are
former Governor Herbert H. Leh
man, Herbert Bayard Swope,
Gerald Swope, Judge M. Pros-
kauer, Nathaniel. L. Goldstein,
Morris L. Ernst, Rabbi William
F. Rosenblum, Justice Meir Stein-
brink, Albert Lasker, and Leo

make the Hendersonville camp a
reality.
They pointed out that although
Hendersonville itself has not been
affected by the epidemic, this de
cision was prompted by a desire
to avSid even minor risk and by
a preference for an over-abun
dance of caution.
Action on the camp opening
was taken dramatically after a
series of study consultations and
then In a dramatic multi-way
phone conference between several
officials including Dr. Bardin and
Sol Benamy, of Atlanta.
A number of the candidates
scheduled for the Brandeis Camp
Institute of the South will be ac
commodated at the two other
camps, at Winterdale. Pa., and at
Santa Susana, Calif.
Most oi the nearly 150 campers
originally scheduled to attend
will be unable to attend any
camp this year. The adult insti
tute and the I. Z. F. A. session,
scheduled at the end of itihe B. C.
I. itself have been cancelled al
together.
Location and acquisition of the
camping facilities near Hender
sonville earlier this year brought
a glint to many a Zionist official
eye for the record of Brandeis
camps in the Poconos and in the
Red Woods had long been envied
by Southern and Southeastern
leaders. The B.C.I. capacity to
indectrinate and inspire youth has
been established beyond question.
The facilities at Hendersonvlle
have “everything,” private lake,
private pool, facilities for riding,
boating, all types of athletics,
fine lodge facilities for large
groups, equally adaptable ito small
groups. The scenic surroundings
in North Carolina’s mountains are
matchless.
Actually, planning for the
camp opening in August had been
a huge challenge. Assembly of an
adequate staff, securing of provis
ions and selection of proper
campers from throughout the na
tion were no small tasks. This did
not phase the sponsors and they
had hurdled all obstacles to in
sure a successful session.
Then the heart-rending news
of the polio epidemic. At first
only a speck on the horizon, it did
not loom sufficiently large last
June to warrant cancellation of
the Young Judea camp scheduled
for July.
This lasft month saw intensifi
cation of the epidemic and each
day and week brought more and
more cases. There was a strain
over the Young Judea camp lest
somehow the virus would infil
trate. Precautions were taken and
the- health of the campers was not
affected.
As the end of the Young Judea
camp approached and opening of
the Brandeis Camp Institute
neared, the tension mounted with
the growing number of polio
cases. Though Hendersonville was
free of the disease—for the time
being—there was no way of in
suring that freedom. And if a
single case had broken out, it
might have spread disastrously.
Certainly it would dampen future
success of the camp. And so, re
luctantly, the “no camp this year”
sign was posted.
Twenl|ry of the campers sched
uled for the South Institute have
been accepted for the Poconos
Camp while as many of the
others as can make the trip will
be accommodated in California.
In order to'aid the latter to make
the trip, a grant-in-aid towards
traveling expenses will be of
fered, Dr. Bardin revealed.
Herman Popkin, of Atlanta, di
rector of the Southern Zionist
Youth Activities, who was sched
uled to be one of the councillors
at Hendersonville will go instead
to the California camp.
Though eight Atlanta youth
are scheduled for Brandeis camps,
only one is affected by the Hen
dersonville cancellation. He is
Alan Meisel, who will go instead
to Winterdale.
Also scheduled for the Pon-
conos are Flora Hirsh, Myron
Levitt, Vera Faye Merlin and
Anita Schwartzmann. Sonya Abel-
son, Siegfried Guthmar. and Joel
Goldberg will make the Califor
nia trip.
Man’s soul is likened to the
water, his faith to the wind.
