Conde McGinley's 'Common Sense'
Given Uncordial Welcome in Maine
PORTLAND. Me., (JTA) —
Statewide protest by religious,
civic and political leaders
against the distribution through-
out the state of the anti-Semitic
publication "Common Sense"
was reported by attorney Wil-
liam Cohen of Lewiston, state
chairman of the Anti-Defama-
tion League of Bnai Brith.
Sharp counter-action to the
appearance of the anti-Semitic
publication in Portland, Bangor,
Augusta and Lewiston resulted
almost immediately after the ex-
tent of the circulation was made
known by the ADL. Protestant
religious leaders in Portland is-
sued a statement saying:
"We are concerned about
the dangerous divisive char-
acter of this paper. Jews and
Gentiles in Maine have always
had a fine relationship and
the -attempt to set group
against group and brother
against brother is against the
best interests of America and
religion.
"In making this statement, we
join with other organizations
such as the Rhode Island Legis-
lature, the Massachusetts Legis-
lature, the Knights of Columbus
and the American Legion Com-
mittee on Americanism in Maine
who have on other occasions vig-
orously opposed .the tactics of
Conde McGinley of New Jersey,
who publishes this paper."
Throughout the state, Prot-
estant ministers exposed Mc-

Revisionists Protest
Murders of Israelis
Ginley and "Common Sense" in
Sunday sermons. Bernard Han-
finger, president of the Coun-
cil of Churches of Greater Port-
land, was a leader in stimulating
this activity as a means of
enlightening the public as to
the source of this publication.
At Portland, Postmaster J.
Leo Cook, conferred with
Superintendent of the Mails,
Howard C. Mayo, on an inves-
tigation by postal authorities
of reports that copies of "Com-
mon Sense" had been stuffed
in household mail boxes.
Use of mail boxes for unmailed
circulars, Cook said, is against
the law and carriers were under`
instruction to remove such cir-
culars. Circulars stuffed into
mail boxes are subject to post-
age, he said.
The complaint to postal au-
thorities was made by Isadore
Zack of the New England Re-
gional Office of the ADL, who
was in Maine to assist Bnai
Brith lay leaders in investiga-
tion and counter-action of this
problem.
Bavarian Communities
Send Archives to Israel
NUREMBURG, (JTA)—Jewish
communal records and archives
no longer needed for current op-
erations will be given to the
Jewish National Archives in Jer-
usalem, it was decided at the
annual conference of the Ba-
varian State Association of Jew-
ish Communities.
The decision follows an appeal
by Dr. Alex Bein, deputy direc-
tor of the Zionist Central Arch-
ives, who reminded the dele-
gates that they could best per-
petuate that memory of Bavar-
ian Jewry by m a k i n g the
documents available to future
Jewish historians in Israel.
Most of the source material
was destroyed during the Nazi
period, but records dating back
many centuries have been pre-
served from more than 70 com-
munities that are now defunct
or but a shadow of their former
selves. Records will first be cen-
tralized and catalogued in Mun-
ich, where the necessary selec-
tion is to be made.
General Zionists Favor
Continued U.S. Friendship
TEL AVIV, (JTA)—Continued
American - Israel friendship
should become the basis of Is-
rael's foreign policy, the 20th na-
tional convention of the General
Zionist Party of Israel, declared
at its closing session.
For this very reason, the cen-
trists pointed out, American
arming of the Arab countries
presents a "grave" threat to Is-
rael independence. The conven-
tion also called for Israel's as-
sociation on an international
basis with the Western democ-
racies.
