Concern for the safety of Czechoslovakia's 10,000 Jews was voiced by the American Jewish Congress. In a statement issued here, Rabbi Arthur J. l.elyvelcl, ot Cleveland, AJCongross president, called upon the United Nations and the free governments of the world "to make it clear that they will not countenance tlie victimization of Czech Jews or any other racial or religious groups in order to justify the present outrages against the Czeebosolvakian people."

They appear un-mistakably to bs part of a concerted drive within countries subject to Soviet domination to use the time-dislionored device of blaming local Jewish populations for every internal shortcoming, failing, disappointment or limitation,"
