o O Paily Worker Charges Josef Stalin Violent In Anti-Semitic Acts By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington -UR) The & ialinization of Russian Corn munism has taken a new turn with charges that the late Generalissimo was guilty of violent anti Semitism. These charges were published in the New York C o m m u n ist Lyi c. Hiiion new s p a p e r, the Dial? Worker. They were a reprint of a report published by British Communists after a dele gation of Jews had' investigated in the Soviet Union the story of anti-Semitism during the Stalin regime. The iSitish investigating dele gation included J. R. Campbell, editor of the London Daily Worker, and Hyman Levy, de scribed as a Marxist philosopher and mathematician. The investi gators bluntly accused the Sta lin regime of seeking to liqui fy date by violence the Jewish cul ture of the Soviet Union. Tfie Black Years "The years 1948-52." the re port said, "were known among them (Russian Jews) as the black yearv, the period during which O theiP posts, Jewish poets and writers were arrested and charged with treason and exe- q cuted; Yiddish disappeared from uie siJeis ana marKei places. Husbands were arrested, tor- tured and murdered, the report continue, and whole families 3 were transported to remote areas of forced labor. The inves tigators insisted, however, that since Stalin's death a real effort was being made to make amends for the anti-Smitic campaign Band to prevent a rendition. The British investigators were not satisfied that Stalin should bear the blame alone. Anti ..Semitism under Stalin, they con cluded, may have been a hold ovaf from "the Czarist society which the Communists liquidat ed by wholesale nuirder after takkBff over Hlirintt WnrM War G I from the revolutionary Keren- .ky government. aericj Targets Hover tht may be, the re ipftt tt British investigators now o 0 GO o o o Tighf Competition for Home Builders Chicago UP Home builders and persons who want tOqSell xisninf homes will be Insight competition during 1957 according to forecast. The United States Savings and Loan league made the prediction in a pamphlet prepared for guidance of 4. SOtt institutions in their cfey-to-day operations be ginning" Jan, 1. The league executive com mittee, which prepared the pam phlet, safd the forecast was bas ed on figures showing that new families were being formed at a lower rate in the United States than during o the years immed iately following World War II. It is expected that the cur rent rate will continue into the next decade, until today's bum per crop of children reach ma turity and seek homes of their own. As8 a result, the demand for houses should come for the most part from persons "who have a desire to improve their housing standards" and can afford to do so. Many such persons already hav homes and so are not press ed buy. The committee said that 1957 should see a confining of this year's "generally robust econ omy." accompanied by new peaks In national income and high employment.

Fur Restyling Let us fiie your fur coat the New Look CLEANING GLAZING Frances' Furs Formerly Frances Dallairo 1100 Crater Lake Ave. Telephone Remains 2-6526 substantiates rumors consistent ly current during the Stalin re gime of violent anti-Semitism in the so-called classless Commu nist state. This anti-Semitic vio lence was taking place at the same time American Commu nists wre making American Jews and other American mi norities special targets of their propaganda and recruiting cam paigns. American Communists scorned and scoffed at reports over the years of anti-Semitic violence in the Soviet Union. Communist publications brushed such away as examples of the overall plot of world imperial ism against Communism. Communists themselves now proclaim the truth of those re ports, but accompany the ac knowledgement with assurances that it shall not happen again. That, of course, remains to be seen since the present acknowl edgement also is accompanied by admission that the seed of anti-Semitism was widely and deeply sown in Russia and is not yet all reaped. nfkXWM ill STREET FIGHT Communist sympathizer (left) pulls placard from hands of anti-Red demonstrator during clash outside government house in Buenos Aires, Argen tina.

(U.R) A new method pf helping a cerebral palsied child make the first effort at speaking is on trial at a special school here. Teachers at Hillside House, a residential school for cerebral palsied children, have placed hidden recording machines un der the children's pillows in hopes they can learn while asleep. Dr. Edwin R. Schoeel said he is experimenting with "sleep teaching" with one group of children. He said one of the most difficult tasks facing teachers at the school is encouraging the child to make the effort to speak. It takes immense effort for the child to speak, so most of them are content to rely on gestures and brief sounds to ex press themselves. Using the, recorders, Schoell repeats the day's lesson, and four times a night the child's teacher suggests that learning is a happy experience. Although sleep teaching must be coupled with regular day work, Schoell hopes his experi ments will encourage the young sters to learn more eagerly than they do at present.
