Sioux Citians fo Be Here for May 7 Golden Age Event
indusfriaiisf Living in U.S. Charged it New York (JTA)—Fulton Lewis, Jr., nationally syndicated columnist, charged this week that Nicolao Malaxa, former Rumanian living "in - palatial elegance" in this city, has been Implicated in the death of 100,000 Rumanian Jews during World War If. Declaring that efforts to deport him to Rumania have been unavailing, Mr. Lewis stated: "There is no explanation why Malaxa is still here. Nor is there an excuse." According to the columnist,
Hove fo End 'Hot! Killers'Stigma Rome (JTA)—The Ecumenical Council, to be convened here by Pope John XXIII next October, will probably discuss ways of removing from the Jews the stigma of "slayers or God," Augustin Cardinal Bca told representatives of the press hero this week. Cardinal Bea was the confessor of the lato Pope Pius XII, and is now pres-' ident of the Vatican's Secretariat for the Union of Christians, planning the agenda for the Ecumenical Council, Tha Catholic Church, said ths Cardinal, recognizes that a principal reason for anti-Semitic persecutions through the ages has been tho fact that tho Jewish people were blamed ' by Christians for the crucifixion of Jesus. It fa high time for this Btigma to be removed, the Cardinal said.
Malaxa, an industrialist in Bucharest, "financed the infamous Iron Guard of Rumania, which massacred, tortured, imprisoned and hanged hundred of thousands of Jews in the early days of 1941." Later, during the war, Mr. Lewis alleges, Malaxa, "hooked up" with Albert Goering, brother of Marshal Goering, Hitler's No. 2 man, and "helped supply Hitler's army with some of the metallurgical products so badly needed during the war." Mr. Lewis asserted that Malaxa came to the United States in 194G to represent the Communist Rumanian Government, and has remained here since. The United States I m m i g r a t i o n Service, which has held deportation hearings against Malaxa, "has been stymied in its efforts to send him back to Rumania," according to Mr. Lewis.
ISRAEL AT LAST Hut still no home. This elderly woman Is but one of the many who live in the so-called ma-abarot, the shanty town in Israel. The United Jewish Appeal must help such person and other illhoused persons and newcomers to obtain real homes. The UJA receives funds from the Jewish Philanthropies Campaign in Omaha.

The urgency of the Jewish Philanthropies Campaign to help move a record mass Immigration to Israel was underscored by Robert M. Felnbcrg, General Chairman of the 19G2 Jewish Philanthropies Drive. Mr. Felnbcrg reported that the Jewish Agency allocated $40,000,000 for the transportation, absorption, and resettlement of immigrants in Israel. The allocations Include some $13,000,000 for transportation and services en route; $10,000,000 for Initial absorption aid; $8,000,000 for Immigrant housing; $7,500,000 for the consolidation of agricultural villages.

Marseilles—Only 500 Jews of the original 35,000 are left in Constantine today, refugees from Algeria who have just landed here reported. The handful of Jews still remaking desperate efforts to sell their property for a song, but there are no buyers. The Arabs tell the Jews, "Move out fast— and leave everything behind." A few hours after the conclusion of the Evian Treaty, during the night curfew, all the Jewish shops in town were sacked. Some days ago, all the Jewish stores—already previously pillaged—were set on fire. Arabs, impatient for the departure of the Jews, also broke into homes as squatters. Incoming refugees are from Algiers and Oran, who managed to slip through the local terrorist ring which is trying to prevent the exodus of the Jewish population. All are arriving almost empty-handed but surprisingly good-h u m o r c d , "What counts is that we managed to save our skins," they all say, "henceforth there's no place at all for Jews in Algeria. Air must quit, but not all will get out alive unless rescued immediately. The day when Algeria attains full independence will be a feast for the Arabs—and Jewish property will be on the menu as dessert."
he had saved and who now live in Israel. During the war, Mr. Schindler, who was questioned a number of times by SS officers concerning his activities, succeeded in averting danger to "his Jews" by using his personal contacts and pressure.
The Golden .Age group of Sioux City, la., will be guests of the Omaha organization at a 12:30 p.m. luncheon, Mondayj May 7 at the Jewish Community Center. The gathering will be held in conjunction with the national observance of Senior Citizens' Month. Cantor Manfred F. Kuttner of Temple Israel, will offer tha invocation. Other participants in the program will be tha Mmes. Ernest Nogg, Robert Levine, Louis Fish, Marvin Dienstfrey, Russell Blumenthal and the Messrs. David Orkow, Joe Radinowski and Richard Weiner. Tho Sioux City visitors will be taken on a tour of the Dr. Philip Sher Home for the Aged. The Omaha Golden Age Club is sponsored by the Omaha Section of the National Council of Jewish Women and tha Jewish Federation.
TRANSPORT COSTLY , Transportation costs, which must be paid for in hard currency, will take a much larger share of the Jewish Agency's budget. Construction of immigrant housing barely keeps pace with increased immigration, causing new arrivals to be moved Into unfinished units. Lack of housing also creates absorption problems since new arrivals must be sent to wherever empty units are available regardless of prospects for suitable employment In that particular area. INCREASES URGENT In view of the situation, Mr. Felnbcrg Indicated that increases arc absolutely necessary on all cards if the job of saving Jew* is to be done before the curtain drops, and traps them all beyond • hope of escape. < (See story on Algerian Jews above.)
