IN STAVSKY CASE \Free'ng of Revisionist Seen As Ending Internecine Zionist Struggle Jerusalem (WNS)—The most sensational case in", recent Jewish history came to a dramatic ending when the Palestine court of appeals acquitted Abraham Stavsky, youthful Zionist Revisionist/ and Polish citizen, of the murder; of Dr. Chaim Arlosoroff, who was mysteriously shot on June 16, 1933, thus reversing the verdict of the trial court whichhad "sentenced Stavsky to hang. The court of appeals' decision is a complete satisfaction to every element of Palestinian Jewry because it is expected that Stavsky's vindication will do much to end the internecine struggle in Zionism. . Stavsky had become the symbol for strife and violence in Jewish Palestine and in the Diaspora between Revisionists and Laborites, the latter maintaining that Stavsky was guilty and the former holding that he was the victim of a frame-up. . The decision of the court of appeals was unexpected because during the heaiing on the appeal the judges had declined to hear testimony from new witnesses and refused to admit in evidence important documents presented by Horace Samuel, Stavsky's counsel. The court of appeals consisted of Chief Justice Sir Michael F.J.-MacDonald, and Justices-Francis Horace Baker and Julian Mignon de Freitas. On the eve of the opening of the appeal the court refused to accept an affidavit signed by Abdul Medjid, an Arab convict, confessing that he had murdered Arlosoroff, who was shot while walking on the Tel Aviv seashore with his wife. Medjid had previously admitted the murder, only to repudiate his confession. Stavsky was one of three Revisionists who went on trial for the murder on April 23, the others being Zvi Rosenblatt and Aba Achimeir. The latter was acquitted on May 16 for Jack of evidence. On June 8 the "trial court found Stavsky guilty and acquitted Rosenblatt for lack of evidence. The conviction of Stavsky. precipitated a: worldwide controversy, splitting Jewry into two camps.

New York (WNS)—A plan for the settlement of-several thousand German-Jewish refugees on governmentowned land in the Republic of Guatemala, Central America, will become effective as soon as it is approved by the HICEM, the joint committee of the Jewish Colonization Association and the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society. . . Worked out by. Dr. A.. Coralnik, associate editor of the Jewish" Day, who has just returned from Guatemala, and General Jorge Ubico, president of Guatemala, the plan provides for the granting of full citizenship to the refugees as soon as they arrive. By the terms "of the contract to be signed, the Guatemalan government will furnish free land or land at nominal prices to refugee families who take up farming and will aid those who enter industry. Trading and peddling is barred to the refugees, each of whom must have at least $1,000 in capital. Alfred Skinner Klee,' foreign minister of Gautemala, is prepared to open up 5,000 acres of land free in the province of Calapa for the first refugees to settle under the plan. Dr. Coralnik reported that President Ubico is opposed to Nazi propaganda in Guatemala.

_ New York (JTA)—One of the significant signs of the waning power of the Nazi in New York was reflected from Yorkville when it became known that the Franz Siegel Order had gone non-political.

RE-
Bucharest (WNS)—A number of wealthy Jews are financing "the antiSemitic Iron Guard. M. Yamandu, former member of the cabinet of the late Premier Ion Duca, who was killed by Iron Guard agents because of his vigorous campaign against them, told a Jewish mass meeting at Podulilia. Yamandu declared that he has in his possession documentary evidence to bear out this startling accusation. Although Yamandu's charge has created a sensation in Rumanian Jewry, his reputation as a responsible statesman and his known part in the campaign to suppress the Iron Guard incline many Jewish leaders to regard his statement as true.

AMERICAN JEWISH CONGRESS ISSUES CALL TO ELECTION Hope to Establish Central Jew. ish Body in United States New York, N. Y.—Preparations for the establishment of a central Jewish body in the United States, representative of all groups of opinion in this country and elected by direct democratic vote were set into motion recently by the American Jewish Congress, in an official call for elections addressed to the Jews of the United States and sent to Jewish organizations throughout the country. By decision of the administrative committee of the American Jewish Congress, the date for elections was set for April 28, 1935. This is the second time in the history of American Jewry that they have been summoned to the polls in connection with Jewish problems. The first time occurred in 1918 to deal with the emergency situation of European Jewry after the world war. At that time 335,000 votes were polled. The elections now being summoned are in connection with the emergency situation created by the rise of Hitlerism throughout the world. Immediate steps are under way for the organization of local communities to participate in the elections, voting in which is to be open to all perons above the age of 18. The_ establishment of this central organization, mandated by the people, is deemed imperative in the light of the disruptive forces now at large which if permitted unchallenged sway doom world Jewry "to ultimate extermination and at best to the status of second class citizenship." The proclamation, issued over the signatures of Stephen S. Wise, honorary president, and Bernard S. Deutsch, president, describes conditions affecting the Jews in the following terms: "In Europe discrimination and oppression have reached an unparallel-; ed peak. There, anti-Semitic tendencies, coupled with changing economic. ystems, making on provision for theJews, have rendered millions declassed in their native lands. "To th® local phenomena of antiSemitism has been added the menace of Hitlerism which has sharpened an-> ti-Semitic practices in lands historically anti-Semitic and even in those ands where in the past anti-Semitism has been local and sporadic. "The economic and political factors responsible for the present serious sit-. uation in Europe are affecting the United States as well. Coupled with the invasion of Hitlerism, they have aggravated and thrust into the foreground many serious problems relating to the status of the Jews. "The recent years have been witness to a marked rise in the character and extent of economic and social discrimination against American Jews. As in Europe, there is today in the United States a concerted attack upon the fundamental, status of the Jews; upon their rights as free and equal citizens entitled to and receiving eco-' nomic, cultural, political and other oppoitunities. "In Europe an entire younger generation is growing up without means of livelihood, without the possibility, of migration and with virtually no hopeful outlook for the future. In the United States, while the situation is as yet less acute, the problem is nearly identical. With the doors of many professions rapidly closing to the Jews, with general unemployment on the increase, the Jewish youth is faced with a grave problem of economic reorientation." On the promise that the right of the Jews can be safeguarded only in countries where democracy prevails and through democratic methods employed by themselves, and in the belief "that we are on the threshhold of. a battle for the preservation of our existence" the American Jewish Con-"' gTess evokes its historic right as the first Jewish Parliament in America, to summon the Jews of this country to create and maintain unity through democracy. "It appeals to all Jews, affiliated • or. unaffiliated to lend their support to this movement for the preservation of the collective and individual freedom and equality of all Jews. "It invites them to participate in nationwide democratic elections to es-. tablish a mandated body, designed to consider, discuss and solve the probems of American Jewry in line with. the views of the manated represents-, tives of American Jewry." Among the objectives of the cen-ral body to be established by democratic vote are: The democratization of Jewish life in all its forms; the. economic reorientation of Jews based on economic trends, opportunities and needs; the preservation of the equal rights of the Jews and their defense against anti-Semitism; the safeguarding of Jewish minority rights in Eu-.
