JUSTICE STEINBRINK

`Lie' Accusation
Hurled at Gossett

WASHINGTON,
NGTON, D.C. (World
WASHI Services) — The Strat-
ton bill was put back in the
mothballs this month, after a neat
exhibition of hoisting on one's
own petard.
The witness was Attorney Gen ;
eral Tom Clark, clashing con-
stantly with another Texan, the
anti-Semite Ed Gossett. Carry-
ing the administration burden,
Clark was constantly put on the
defensive by Gossett as the latter
threw at him all the canards
which have been used by Ameri-
can chauvinists and reactionaries
to Appose the bill.
Gossett, for instance, threw the
charge that 100,000 of the dis-
placed persons are Russian Jews
assigned by the Soviet Union to
make their way to this country
to serve as a fifth column.
Clark, whose henchmen have
been whipping up the anti-Red
hysteria, deprecated the charge.
Unabashed, Gossett fumed about

since the war and are living in
apparent safety.
On another occasion, referring
to non-Jews, Gossett asked why
we should expect good from pea
ple unwilling to return to their
own countries to work for the
good of their countrymen.

point is that although through
organizations, American Jew;
have been active in the fight to
open our gates to European Jews,
social workers and others aiding
the new arrivals hear more and
more frequently charges that the
American cousins are themselves
anti-Semitic.
The difference seems to stem
mainly from the divergent view-
points toward assimilation in the
Gentile community. Already, it
seems, American Jews are be-
ginning to lose the sharp sense
of identification they felt during
the Hitler era.
We don't like to be alarmist,
but one thing should be pointed
out: We are already bringing to
this country far too many Hit-
lerites. Many of them are, of
course. American nationals who
served Hitler but now claim the
protection of the American flag.
Our consular officials apparent-
ly are quite generous In this re-
gard. That is one of the reasons
it is no oddity for boats to dock
from Europe with dozens of

Kenchington told a group of
