JEWISH CHRONICLE

STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

Blasts Silence of ,Jewish .Press on KKK Conclave

BY PHINEAS J. IIIIRON
FEW WEEKS AGO an important convention took
" place in Montgomery, Ala.
Its deliberations were of direct concern to the Jews
of America, yet the Jewish press and for that matter,
the news agencies serving the Anglo-Jewish press,
paid no attention to this national conclave.
We refer to the first national convention of the Ku
Klux Klan on Aug. 30. At the convention. 265,000
members were represented by dele-
gates from Alabama, Mississippi,
Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri and
Louisiana. The convention issued a
call to all the other states in the union
to join a national organization of the
Klan.
Thus far the following Klan
organizations have enlisted: The In-
dependent Klans, the Seashore Klans,
the Ozark Klans, the Star Klans, the
River Valley Klans and the Allied
Klans. It is expected that the power-
Siren
, hit Federated Klans, with branches
•
in various states, will soon join the new setup.
•
•
MONTGOMERY WAS SELECTED as the site of the
new national Klan headquarters. Although the con-

A

e

vention delegates wore masks, they passed a resolu-
tion against the wearing of masks in public.
We're giving you this factual report as additional
evidence that organized anti-Semitism is not decreas-
ing, all claims to the contrary. A few days before
Yom Kippur, on Sept. 27, another powerful anti-
Semitic group will hold its convention at St. Louis,
Mo., under the leadership of Rev. Gerald K. Smith,
whom our defense agencies have relegated to the status
of an "inoffensive crackpot."
The three-day convention of the Christian National-
ist Crusade in St. Louis will do much to strengthen the
fascist forces in our country. Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt
the other day called attention to a number of so-
called religious groups engaged in hate-selling ac-
tivities.
• • •
AMONG THE GROUPS singled out by Mrs. Roose-
velt are:. The Lutheran Research Society of Detroit,
The Rev. Gerald D. Winrod's group of Wichita. Kan.,
the Joseph Kamp organization, the Protestant
Ministerial groups, Jleaded by Rev. Harvey Springer
of Denver, and the followers of Upton Close and Don
Lohbeck, the very men who openly praised Hitler's
anti-Semitic policy. '
All these groups will naturally be represented at the
St. Louis convention, maQping out blueprints for a
campaign. It seems to us that we, by that we mean our

MUNICH—(WNS)—Because he
was Jewish, Dr. Herbert Lewin
was barred from the post of city
gynecologist by the municipal
council of Offenbach, the Frank-
furter Rundschau charged.
The report stated that after
Dr. Lewin was elected to this
post in a secret ballot by a mar-
gin of one vote, the matter was
reconsidered and in an open bal-
lot he lost out to one of the
other five candidates.
The U. S. military government
has announced that a thorough
investigation will be made of the
case.

The biggest task in Israel is the productivization of thousands of newcomers. Most
of them have to learn useful trades and become productive workers in agriculture
As
and industry. Eighty per cent of those who work with their own hands enroll
Histadrut members. Vocational guidance and training through Histadrut institu-
tions, placement in jobs and in co-operative enterprises and medical help for
themselves and their families ease their way for adjusting to Israel.

•

The Histadrut of Israel, embracing 400,000 Jews, stands staunch as Israel's largest
voluntary association of workers and Halutzim dedicated to the task of guiding

the Jewish State along the path of democraty and social Justice.

WE LIKE THE militant editorial in the Sept. 9 issue
of the Omaha Jewish Press in which its editor directs a
deserved blast at the Nashville Jewish Observer for
it's intolerant attitude on the Negro question.
It is good to know that this forthright Anglo-Jewish
publication fights discrimination, irrespective of color
or creed. This is the real American way.
We are very much impressed with the editorial
campaign waged by the Bnai Brith Messenger of Los
Angeles for a stronger, independent and better in-
formed Anglo-Jewish Press.
•

•
DAVID WEISSMAN. editor of the Messenger, is per-
fectly right when he demands more interest on the
part of our businessmen and communal leaders in
their respective local Anglo-Jewish publication.
The JTA news service is definitely inadequate in its
coverage of domestic news, notwithstanding the huge
financial subsidies it is receiving from the United
Jewish Welfare Fund and the UJA.
We agree with Weissman. It is time for the Anglo-
Jewish press to control its own news gathering Organi-
zation—at least for domestic news.
