ciety at a meeting of the so-
ciety's board of directors held
during the past week. An active

long experience in dealing with
the problems presented by Fresh
Air Camp operated under the
auspices of the society, each
summer.
Organized neatly 40 years ago,
the Fresh Air Society has been
sponsoring outdoor recreational
Programs for children &nee 1904.
On May 9, of that year, Miss
Ida V. Koppel, founder of the
organization, presented a plan
for weekly outings for under-
privileged children, to the board
of the United Jewish Charities,
then the major philanthropic
body of Detroit Jewry. The Unit-
ed Jewish Charities approved the
Plan and the "Fresh Air Com-
mittee" was formed.
"Programming" for the Fresh
Air Society in those days meant
that a group of agreeable ladies
would set aside a day on which
to take a group of children on
a picnic. The first annual re-
port, presented in the fall of
1904, records: "We have had 21

ten by Mr. Paynter, a former
member of the staff of the Asso-
ciated Press and of leading New
York newspapers, that Henry
Ford's name appears on anti-
Semitic books, that Mr. Cam-
eron is responsible for the cir-
culation of the Protocols of the
Elders of Zion and that anti-
Semitic signs have been posted in

Repeat i n g the latter charge,
the PM article of Sept. 20 re-
prints stickers which it charges
were found on cars parked in
Ford plants.
The articles in Friday Mag-
azine and PM are profusely il-
lustrated with reproductions of
letters, covers of books, Nazi
bulletins and book catalogues to
indicate that "The Jewish Ques-
tionbv Henry Ford" continues
to circulate in spite of disavow-
als of responsibility by Ford
spokesmen. A member of the
staff of PM is reported having
bought a copy of the forged
"Protocols," appearing under
Henry Ford's name, in a Span-
ish bookstore in New York last
week.

Protestant Digest Article

The August-September issue
of Protestant Digest carries an
article by Arthur Settel under
the title "Model-T Anti-Semit-
ism." Kurt G. W. Luedecke,
alien German, former associate
of Adolf Hitler, who was de-
nied citizenship by Judge Ar-
thur Tuttle in Detroit several
months ago, is quoted comment-
ing on Mr. 'Ford's and Mr. Cam-
eron's bias towards the Jews. The
article shows that Mr. Cameron
has published his articles in the
anti-Semitic organ of the Anglo-
Saxon Federation, "Destiny," and
declares : "As head of the Anglo-
Saxon Federation, W. J. Cam-
eron must bear the responsibility
for what the organization does,"
Mr. Cameron is a former presi-
dent of this federation and later
became its director of publica-
tions.
Charges against Mr. Cameron,
implicating Mr. Ford, have ap-
peared in other periodicals, in-
cluding The Hour, and In Fact,
edited by George Seldes.
Anti-Semitic Groups in Detroit
In Oct. 4 issue of Friday
Magazine the charge is made
that "in the automobile center
of Detroit alone, the following
anti-Semitic organizations, many
terrorists, have been active dur-
ing the past two or three years:
Industrial Legion of America,
Committee of 1,000,000, Nation
al Workers League, Mantle Club,
Black Legion, Legion of the Blue
Cross, Young Americans, Anglo-
Saxon Federation, Invisible Eve
of Labor, Sons of the South, Kn
Klux Klan, Novelty Club, Bullet
Club, League of American Work-
ers, Ford Service Department,
Christocrats, Industrial
League."

and A. E. Kahn continues: And

The Detroit Jewish Chronicle
has consistently urged Mr. F ord
to repudiate individuals and
groups who are quoting him and
who continue to distribute the
forged "Protocols." The Cr. , ni-
cle has urged, and continue, to
urge, that Mr. Ford reaffirm his
