FOLLOWING his propaganda work in London, Yusif el Bandek
arrived in this country in the summer of 1949. In November of
that year he called upon Merwin K. Hart—long an admirer of
Franco's system—carrying a letter of introduction from Lieutenant-General Sir Frederick Morgan, who in 1946 was removed as
chief of UNRRA in Germany after making remarks about European refugees which were widely construed to be anti-Jewish.
"General Morgan has told me I could put entire confidence in
Bandak," Hart later explained in his National Economic Council
Letter. "This was enough for me. Vice-Admiral Charles S. Freeman, U.S.N., retired, who has devoted much time to Mr. Bandak,
and I, quickly became satisfied that Bandak was all he professed
to be." Following this confession, Hart instituted a new series of
anti-Semitic attacks in his Letter, of which the following, in the
December 15, 1949, issue, is typical:
For because of their overbearing greed and their recent and
present willingness to involve this country in every kind of evil,
they ["Zionist Jews"] are the number one enemy of American
liberty and the Christian church. They are the outstanding cause
of most of the dire troubles facing America today. . . .
A wealth of evidence can be adduced to show that the Zionists
have Mr. Truman's Administration in the hollow of their hand.
The Socialist program is their program. . . . When the American
people awaken to what they have already done and what they seek
to do, their wrath will be truly terrible.
