REDS DEFIED TO ALLOW JEWS TO "INSPECT" HUNGARY
Israel Blocks Visas For Reds' Rally
NEW YORK (AJP) -- The Is¬ raeli government refused to grant visas to a Communist Youth dele¬ gation bound for the Third World Festival of Youth and Students for Peace scheduled to open In Berlin on August 5, a Communist news service rccelvf.-d here disclosed this week.
The news service, Telepress, ori¬ ginating In Prague, Czechoslovakia, quoted Kol Haam (Voice of the People), the organ of the Israeli Communist Party, as charging that "thla step was taken after Ben- Gurion'a government consulted with the British and American am¬ bassadors."
The orj^an of the Reds urged the government "to cancel Its shame¬ less decision." "The voice of Is¬ rael's youth fighting for peace and against the remilitarization of Germany must be heard." the Com¬ munist paper concluded according to Telepress.
NEW YORK (AJP) - A denial ot wide-spread Jewish deportation In Hungary -reportedly made by the enslaved state's Jewish or¬ ganizations' was challenged here this week by a leading religious spokesman who defied the Com¬ munist country to allow throe Jewish representatives to tour the Iron Curtain country and "see first-hand what the situation ia to¬ day."
The reported denial of evictions came from the M.T.I., official Hun¬ garian news agency, which quoted a Joint statement by the Council of Rabbis and the National Com¬ mittee of Hungarian Jews.
According to the Red news ser¬ vice the Jewish organizations branded reports of S,(X)0 Jewiah de¬ portations as "mean slanders" spread by the "Western press and radio"  against Hungary.
"There Is not one person of the J"i;wlsh religion who was removed because he was a member of our denomination." the Jewish leaders were quoted as having declared in tt joint statement.
The Red news service's state¬ ment was challenged here late this week by Dr. Isaac Lewin. chair¬ man of the World Executive American section Agudas Israel, a world  wide  group  representing  re¬
ligious Jewry. Dr. Lewin, also pro¬ fessor of Jewish history at Yeshiva tJnlverslly, appeared before a Unit¬ ed Nation's body two weeks ago to assail wide spread deportation of Jews in Hungary and Rumania.
The spokesman told the Ameri¬ can Jewish Press this week that alnce his appearance at UN addl: tional reports of deportation of Hungary's Jews have been received here.

th<? Council of Rabbis and the National Comtnlttce of Hungarian Jews. Dr. Lcwln said he believed that "the statements may well have been made under pressure."
¦Wc would be more than happy to learn that such deportations do not exist, but Information received here indicates that many .lews have been deportf?d from Hungary and deprived of all means of Jew¬ ish religion." He said that "In places where they have been held there has been no possibility to maintain dietary laws nor observe Judaism."
Dr. Lewin, through the American .Jewish Press, challenged the Hun¬ garian government to allow a com¬ mittee of three perpons to enter Hungary for a first-hand view of conditions.
"Such a committee," he said, "could Include a representative of England, America, and Israel. We would very much welcome an op¬ portunity and If as the Com¬ munists maintain the reports of the regime's action in banishing Jews Is incorrect the true atory can be told.
"I hereby call upon the Hungar¬ ian government to grant us visas j and allow our entry into Hun¬ gary."
