Anti-Semites Seek to Cash In On Sen. McCarthv Sentiment

Anti-
NEW YORK, (JTA)
Semitic elements throughout
the United States have openly
ranged themselves behind Sen.
Joseph R. McCarthy, of Wiscon-
sin and made his cause their
Sown.
Professional Jew-baiters who
took leading positions in the or-
ganizations which mushroomed
into existence to defend the
Wisconsin senator against cen-
sure charges, are working to
convert pro-McCarthy sentiment
into active anti-Jewish manifes-
tations.
They are campaigning to con-
wince McCarthy supporters that
"Jewish-Communist conspir-
acy" is responsible for criticism
of their hero and that the Jew
is their real enemy.
Senator Herbert H. Lehman,
staunch defender of civil rights
and one of the most eloquent
critics of McCarthy, is a prin-
cipal target of the vitupera-
tion of these elements.
While a handful of leading
anti-Semites held top positions
M the so-called "Ten Million
Americans Mobilizing for Jus-
tice"—the group which conduct-
ed the pro-McCarthy petition
drive—hundreds of lesser anti-
Semitic luminaries were active
in the distribution of the peti-
tions and active solicitation of
signatures.
At the Hotel Roosevelt head-
quarters of the committee, vet-
eran reporters noted the pres-
ence of many men whom they
had seen previously in the Nazi
Bundist, Coughlini te, Silver
Shirt and other fascist group-
ings of other days. In many
areas. solicitation of signatures
to the pro-McCarthy petitions
eras accompanied by anti-Jewish
manifestations.
Spectators at the commit-
tee's Madison Square Garden
rally were appalled by the vio-
lence of the open anti-Semit-
ism displayed by the crowd,
large segments of which acted
as though the meeting were
an anti-Jewish demonstration
.rather than a pro-McCarthy
rally. The anti-Jewish baying
of the crowd was only halted
momentarily when a Jew, Roy
Cohn, addressed the meeting
and when a Los Angeles rabbi
delivered the blessing.
The "Christian Nationalist
Crusade." organization headed
by Gerald L. K. Smith, an active
figure in the McCarthy camp,
openly entered the picture dur-
trig the final week of the Senate
censure debate. It sent a series
of warnings to every member of
the Senate warning that politi- •
cal suicide faced every Senator
who voted for censure.
All Senators were deluged in
▪ carefully organized • letter-
campaign supporting McCarthy.
Many of the letters were so vio-
lently abusive and so vicious in
their diatribes on the Jews that
one of the most respected mem-
bers of the Senate told a JTA
correspondent that he was ap-
palled and horrified.
Sen. J. William Fulbright, of
Arkansas, read a section of
these letters into the record
during the debate. One letter,
signed G. G. Gurley, president
of the Chemical Attraction Oil
Corp., of San Antonio, Tex.,
denounced the senator as "a
henchman of the Jew deal."
Sen. Lehman," he added
"should be deported out of
this nation to Russia to let'

Germany take that 'bird° in
and give him the gas like Hit-
ler did as per my opinion of
his record."
Another letter, this one anon-
ymous, asserted that the writer
had not fought in the South
Pacific "to open the gates of
this nation for the commy Jews
that Hitler did not kill."
A letter signed Peter Murphy,

of Buffalo, N.Y., referred to "the
rotten Jew, Herbert Lehman, the
pal of Hiss." A letter.from Cad-
illac, Mich., referred to "the rich
Jews" in America who were "fi-
nancing the Reds in Russia.",
In reading the letters to the
Senate, Mr. Fulbright noted that
whereas formerly criticism was
based on legitimate differences
of opinion, its character, of late,

had changed dangerously.
"It is no longer criticism," he
warned. "It is unadulterated
hate, vituperation and abuse . .
The junior senator from Wis-
consin, by his reckless charges,
has so preyed upon the fears of
uninformed and credulous peo-
ple that he has started a prairie
fire, which neither he nor any-
one else may be able to control.
