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- ............ . VACATION HEAVEN— On the shores of Lake Huron. Balmy days and cool nights ... pollen-free comfort.

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.
