Timone Cleared of
Anti-Semitic Charge
NEW YORK (JPS)—George A.
Timone, member of the Board of
Education and a leading Catholic
layman, was cleared by the May-
or's Committee on Unity here of
charges that he was anti-Semitic
and an associate of the Christian
Front.
In an exhaustive report signed
by committee chairman Charles
Evans Hughes Jr. and 11
other Catholic, Protestant and
Jewish members, the committee
declared: "There is no evidence
whatever of anti-Semitism or
bigotry of any sort in Mr. Ti-
mone's personal attitude. Instead
there is a strong affrmative evi-
dence of a wholly sound attitude
toward interrace and interfaith
relations, and of a commendable
effort to improve them. There is
no evidence of either affiliation
or sympathy with the Christian
Front. -
Testimony against Mr. Timone
was submitted to the committee
by John P. Lewis, managing edi-
tor of the newspaper PM.
The committee report stated it
found Mr. Timone had frequently
referred to the Christian Front
as "a lunatic fringe" and "a dis-
grace to Christianity."
