Plaza Dedicated To Golda Meir

WASHINGTON (JTA)-
Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman
(D. NY) has urged President
Carter to consider the "immediate dismissal" of a
member of the National Security Council staff who
characterized as "silly" the
concern expressed over an
interview that Radio Free»
Europe broadcast last May
with Valerian Trifa who is
under investigation as-a suspected Nazi war criminal.
In a letter to the President
made available to the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency, Holtzman wrote that the statements made by Paul Henze,
who has been on the NSC
staff since the beginning of
the Carter Administration,
are "unconscionable and
grounds for his immediate
dismissal."
Radio Free Europe, on
May 1,1979, broadcast a 45-
minute interview with Trifa,
a naturalized American citizen, who, Holtzman pointed
out, is "alleged-to haye in
cited atrocities against Jews
in Bucharest during World
War II." She pointed out further that "no mention was
made during the broadcast
that the Department of Justice had initiated proceedings against Trifa in May,
1975 to strip him of his citizenship because of his alleged participation in war
crimes and that the case was
expected to go to trial in Federal Court in Detroit in the
near future."
Trifa, a bishop, heads the
Rumanian Orthodox Church
in America. The interview
came under wide attack at
the time. John Gronouski, a
former Postmaster General
and chairman of the U.S.
Board for Internatoinal
Broadcasting which oversees the operations of Radio
Free Europe and Radio Liberty, strongly deplored it
• and expressed the wish that
it had never taken place.
In her letter to the President, Holtzman noted'that
she had directed an investigation by the House Judici
ary Committee's subcom-
. mittee of which she is chairperson of "the circumstances surrounding the airing of the interview." She
wrote that "According to
evidence I have received in ■
the course of my investigation, Mr. Henze, during the
Board for International
Broadcasting's meeting of
August 15, 1979, characterized concern about the interview as 'silly' and stated
flatly that it 'certainly isn't
serious from the point of
'view of the White House'."
