The Supreme Court decision was handed down in the case of a former Jewish citizen who had been denationalized. The decis- ion held that neither the Citi- zenship Revision Law or subse- quent legislation conflicted with the Constitutional guarantee of equality of rights. The decision was of paramount importance to Rumanian Jewry because denationalized Jews were classified as aliens and subjected to a special tax. These Jews were denied the right to practice their professions, and in many cases, to seek employment. The Citizenship Revision Law was adopted during the violently anti-Semitic Goga administration and was later confirmed by Royal Decree. The law has been termed a flagrant violation of the minor- ities treaties and an appeal was made to the League of Nations at Geneva. A Committee of Three was au- thorized by the League Council to report on the question, but no action has been taken to date. It is the contention of the Ru- manian Government that Jews were not covered by the 1919 rninoities treaties. Christia n Front Defendant Ends Life By Hanging; Police Investigate NEW YORK (WNS) — Claus Gunther Ernecke, one of the 17 Christian Fronters standing trial in Brooklyn Federal Court charg- ed with plotting to overthrow the United States Government, was found dead in the cellar of an apartment house two blocks from his own home. Police and medical examiners attributed the death to "suicidal strangulation." Though the au- topsy revealed no indication of murder, the police homicide bu- reau was assigned to investigate the death because of reports and statements by friends that Ernecke had been murdered. Lee M. Healy, attorney for the Front defendants, made the Mr. Kaplan, who has been a liberal contributor to many causes and a very observant Jew, was a member of one of Detroit's pioneer Jewish families. He had been active in many movements, and was a member of Congrega. tion Shaarey Zedek, the Zionist Organization, Mizrachi, United Hebrew Schools and a great many other movements and organiza- tions. following statement: "I hope Denis Healy is satisfied now. This act, if committed by Er. necke, is not an evidence of guilt, but of a broken heart. That a friend such as he con- sidered Denis Healy to be should do what he did to him!" Denis Healy, star prosecution witness, testified that he had joined the conspiracy in order to obtain evidence which he turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. While on the stand, Mr. Healy testified that the Christian Frontters were ga- thering weapons and waiting for the "Jewish revolution" and sub- sequent counter-revolution with the Christian Front in command of the country. Healy testified at great length about anti-Semitic literature that he had seen at gatherings of the defendants and also told of seeing obscene books. A copy of the "Protocol of the Elders of Zion," which has been proven a forgery countless times, was put into evidence by the defense law- yers after Healy said that he had seen it at a meeting. Healy testified also that the Christian Fronters frequently dis- cussed the Talmud at their meet- ings. The defense tried to gain an admission from the Govern- ment witness that the Christian Fronters were anti-Communist. but Healy insisted that they were equally anti-Semitic. Brig. Gen. Alexander E. An- derson, commanding offices of the 93d Infantry Brigade, New York National Guard, and Lieut. Col. Martin H. Meaney, National Guard officer and fifth deputy po- lice commissioner, who were ac- cused by Healy of serving on the Action Committee of the plotters, repudiated the testimony and re- quested an opportunity to enter their denials in the trial record.
