WASHINGTON — An out-
spoken enemy of the Jewish
people has emerged in Wash-
ington in the person of Rep.
Ed. Gossett, a Democratic mem-
ber of Congress from Wichita
Falls, Texas.
Washington Jews are still
seething with indignation over a

livered by Gos-
. sett on April 23
to the receptive
tears of the la-
::dies of the
W ashirigton
Chapter of the
American Asso-
Mr. Friedman ciation of Uni-
versity Women. Gossett attack-
ed the Jews, defended the Ger-
mans, and got a big hand.
This was Gossett's debut. He
had previously passed a few
public anti-Semitic remarks as
a member of the House immi-
gration subcommittee consider-
ing Dr! legislation, and made

most modern and complete servicenter
some questionable entries in the
Congressional Record. But April
23 was his day to howl!
Homeless Jews coming to the
United States as DPs are "an
injection of virus in our na-
tional bloodstream which is al-
ready becoming polluted," Gos-
sett told the ladies of the AAUW.
He also "warned" them that
"you can't discuss the Jewish
angle without being accused of
anti-Semitism.' 'slid then he
proceeded to make his anti-
Semitic remarks. He was en-
thusiastically applauded.
Gossett charged that many
Russian and Polish Jews in the
DP campsad never been per-
secuted and could have re-
mained comfortably in t heir
homes in Eastern Europe. Capi-
talizing on current public opin-
ion regarding Russia, Gossett
singled out Russian Jews as
being especially undesirable.
Gossett said American Jews
had "connived" to bring about
United States suport of Israel.
He claimed that "800,000 Arabs
have been displaced; and 300
or 400 Arabs are dying every day
and they (the Jews) are not-
crying about them."
Of Jewish DPs he stated: -
"They are people who are not
seeking to do honest work and -
are people who we would be
better off. without." He said he
would prefer to bring to this
country "good German folks
who are not afraid of physical.
work." The Germans, he said,.
are . of "better stock" than "the
dregs of the DP camps."
Specific charges of destruction
and, sabotage by Jewish DPs
made in the Gossett speech have:
b e e n contradicted. The T.T.S.
Army and Congressmen who
served with Gossett on the im-
migration sub-committee said
his statements about the des-
truction by Jews of their bar-•
racks at the Zeilsheim camp in
Germany. was "news" to them.-
They said they knew of no sucli.
incident. An Army spokesman
said that the Zeilsheim JeWs:
were known by the military
command in Germany as "espe-;
cially cooperative."
Gossett made other pro-Ger-
man and anti-Jewish references.
He also made a reference to the
AAUW. He said it gave him
"great pleasure to address the
intelligentsia." They beamed.
Not one of the more than i100
university graduates present . got
up to question any phase of
Gossett's attack on the Jews.
There were quite a number of
questions about What could be
done to help the "poor German
expellees" (Germans kicked out
of Eastern European comntries
where many of them operated'
for Hitler as a fifth column.)
