Asserting that monarchists are now persecuting Jews who fought with ELAS units in Greece during the Nazi occupation, the executive bureau of the International Union Against Racism has appealed to Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, honorary president of the Union, to support the interests of the Greek opposition forces at the U.N. Mrs. Roosevelt is one of the United States delegates in the U.N. Assembly.

The appeal offer a statement issued by Jewish committees in Greece declaring that the surviving Jews owe their lives to the EAM partisans and reporting persecution of Jewish former partisans by the monarchists.
