Zionist organization, the Joint Distribution Committee and the Israel delegation at the United Nations were severely attacked today at a session of the U.N. Political Committee by Dr. Julius Katz Suchy, Polish delegate, in the course of a long speech in which he charged the United States with organization and financing espionage activities in Poland.

The United States, always seeking ”new paths and new people to replace agents already compromised,” had used for espionage pursed all organizations and associations which, because of their international character, had been able to penetrate the peoples’ democracies, said Dr. Katz-Suchy. ”The recent trial of traitors to the Czechoslovak nation in Prague, as well as other similar incidents, have exposed new channels of criminal activities of the American intelligence service,” he went on.

”They consisted of Zionist organizations, among them the most active being the American Joint Distribution Committee. The lose of this channel provoked a new campaign of lies and slanders against the countries of the popular democracies and against the Soviet Union. Those slanders have as their aim to smokescreen a new defeat suffered by American intelligence.

”The speech of the Israeli delegate bilongs right in this campaign, ”he continued, referring to the speech delivered this morning by Golda Myerson. (See Page 2). ”Thus also the delegate of Israel without any justification repeated the malicious American slanders. It has to be noted that the Israeli delegation is already for the second time announcing the intention to come out with sensational revelations. It can therefore be concluded that those announcements serve only one purpose, the purpose of advertising such future pronouncements.

”I declare on behalf of my delegation that we have the intention to answer in full and with great emphasis those future but already several times advertised state ments of the Israeli delegation, ” he warned.
