Rep. Emanuel Celler today introduced a joint resolution in the House of Representatives expressing “abhorrence” of “the treatment by the Communist Rumanian Government of its Jewish people.”

Rep. Celler said some Jewish returnees to Rumania from Israel were being “brainwashed” and “conditioned” to act as prosecution witnesses in forthcoming mass trials of Zionist leaders now imprisoned in Rumania. He said he thought it appropriate that Congress adopt the resolution in order to focus world public opinion on the Rumanian developments.
