HARRISBURG, Pa. (Religious

"killed" a bill designed to make
unlawful the inciting of racial
and religious hatred.
Introduced by Representative
Ray E. Taylor (R., Dauphin),

NEW YORK (JPS)—Charging

if they should guarantee the in-
dependence of Nazi-occupied coun-
tries, would be protested in the
United States by "refugee Ger-
mans and their fellow racial and
religious brethren," the America
First Bulletin, in an editorial
called "Peace," comes out in its
first published attempt to create
a line of division among various
segments of the American popu-
lation. The Bulletin is the organ
of the New York chapter of the
America First Committee.
John T. Flynn, New York
chairman of the committee, sup-
ported the wording of the editor-
ial in a telephone conversation
with representatives of the Non-
Sectarian Anti-Nazi League. Prof.
James H. Sheldon, chairman of
the board of directors of the
League, sent a telegram to Gen-
eral Robert E. Wood, national
chairman of the America First
Committee, saying that the com-
mittee can "hardly claim to be
'American' when it uses the Hit-
ler type of propaganda which
tries to convince the public that
all opposition is 'Jewish' or is
motivated by other than patriotic
American motives."

The German authorities are car-

other items offering Jews a few

"Concentration-Camp" Bill
The Hobbs Bill, providing for

the placement in detention camps
of all aliens who are ordered
deported but who are not de-
ported within 90 days, faces a
bitter fight when it comes up
before the House, since Labor
and other liberal elements see
in it the beginning of Fascist
concentration camps.
The passage of the bill would
create a declassed group of peo-
ple who might spend years in a
detention camp, since Assistant
Attorney-General Alexander
Holtzoff, its chief sponsor, has
referred to it as "permanent"
legislation. It is known that
there are a great many aliens in
the United States who have been
forced, by the lack of immigra-
tion visas, to extend their stay
illegally. They are therefore sub-
ject to deportation and would
automatically become subject to
detention if the Hobbs Bill is
passed.
