Council Investigation Clears
Toy of Charge of Radio Bias
ConfliCting reports were re-
ceived in the office of the Jewish
Community Council .subsequent
tcr'.a Round Table discussion on
Communism broadcast over WWJ
on ,March 7, participated. in
by Governor Kim Sigler, Attorney
General Eugene Black and. Harry
S.. Toy, Commissioner of Police.
The reports were both in crit-
icism and in defense pf statements
attributed to Mr. Toy.. Commis
sioner Toy was alleged by some
to have made an anti-semitic• re-
mark - linking Communist infil-
tration •w it 11 Jewish refugee
rabbis.
The" actual content of the broad-
cast as revealed by an investi-
gation conducted by the Jewish
Community Council did not sub-
stantiate this criticism the Council
stated. . The statement actually
made by the Cominissioner perti-
nent to this subject was that some
Communist agents entered this
country "who are not Jewish but
came as Rabbis becatise there is
no immigration objection of rule
against Rabbis coming in:. They
come in as Rabbis when they are
not even Rabbis or. Jewish."
The Jewish Community Council
received from Commissioner Toy
the following statement: "I appre-
ciate very much your courtesy in
calling to my attention the fact
that there are. some who have
miscontrued remarks that I made
over Station WWJ in a radio
discussion on Sunday, March 7.
Certainly no inference could be
drawn nor was one intended from
the remarks that' I made about
those who enter this country
under a n immigration • quota
claiming to be Rabbis. I said
definitely. 'They come in as Rabbis
when they are not even Rabbis
or Jewish'. This remark, in itself,
negates any thought of linking
Jews and Communists.
' "Our American history shows
the contributions of Jewish citi-
zens to its Government have been
of the highest standard.
"There are some who ,would
probably try to raise the thought
that my statement might intlicate
some Anti-Jewish bias. Obviously,
such is not the case and this fact
will be born out by many of my
close friends who are Jewish citi-
zens. such as your honorary
president, Fred B. Butzel, his
brother, Justice Henry Butzel,
Judge William Friedman, Judge
Charles Rubiner, and Many many
others.
"This is one of the few coun-
tries in the world where all are
equal under our government.
Neither my private life nor my
-public career has ever negated
-this nor has it ever indicated, I
am sure, anything else but the
