THE DETROIT JEWISH NEW S — Friday, October 24, 1958-32 President May Call White House Parley to Plan Fight on Bigotry (Continued from Page 1) Rockwell stated bluntly: "We derive our ideas from Adolf Hitler. We admire him for his genius, his ideas." But h2, added: "We are not German Nazis and we do not believe we should exterminate the Jews." Scores of threats are report- ed to have been made to Jew- ish organizations and syna- gogues in several parts of the country, and the past week was a heyday for anti-Semites, crackpots and malicious juven- iles. In the New York area, the latest series of incidents in- cluded five bomb threats: three against Jewish institutions, one against a matzo factory and the last against the offices of the United Arab Republic. The Jewish institutions were: the Stephen Wise Free Synagogue; the Elizabeth, N.J., Jewish Edu- cational Center, and the New York Guild for the Jewish Blind. Meanwhile, six boys, ranging in age from 11 to 13, have been arrested and have admitted they smashed six windows in a Brooklyn Synagogue with stones. The boys were charged with juvenile delinquency and released in their parents' cus- tody for appearance Monday in Children's Court. In Union, N.J., the county prosecutor announced an inves- tigation against "Common Sense," a hate sheet long pub- lished by Conde McGinley. The sheet was said to have been distributed in Atlanta and Peoria, Ill., in advance of the synagogue bombings there. Fourteen windows were smashed in an attack on Temple Bnai Abraham in Newark, N. J., while bomb threats were re- ceived by synagogues in three' other New Jersey cities. The Newark police are investigating the attack on the synagogue. Former Senator Herbert H. Ex-State ADL Director to Talk on Bombings Nathan Perlmutter, who was director of the Michigan Re- gion of Bnai Brith's Anti-Defa- mation League until he left Detroit in 1953, will be here next week to speak on the wave of bombings in the South. Perlmutter, now ADL re- gional director in Florida, with offices in Mi- a m i , investi- gated the Jackson- ville and Mi- ami bombings for ADL earl- ier in the year. He will be here primarily to speak at a joint meeting sponsored b y the ADL corn- .. Perlmutter mittees of the Metropolitan Detroit Bnai Brith Men's and Women's Councils, at 8:30 p.m., Thursday, at Cong. Bnai Moshe. Other appearances in De- troit will include a luncheon c7, for community leaders that af- ternoon and meeting with local groups the following day. Perlmutter will speak on the wave of violence in relation- ship to the security of the Jew- ish community, according to Dr. Morton Sobel, who succeeded Perlmutter in the Detroit ADL office. Thursday evening's meeting is open to the community. Lehman, in a comment on the wave of synagogue bombings and threats against Jewish and Christian religious institutions, declared that responsibility for these extremist developments must be shared by all who "advocate overt resistance" to the rule of law. He spoke at the 14th annual conference of the Metropolitan Council of Bnai Brith. Eisenhower May Call White House Parley to Combat Bigotry NEW YORK, (JTA)—Presi- dent Eisenhower has pledged he will give "careful considera- tion" to the American Jewish Congress call for a White House Conference to rally the Ameri- can people against bigotry, it was reported by Rabbi Joachim Prinz, AJC president. Following the bombing of the Atlanta synagogue, the American Jewish Congress asked President Eisenhower to summon leaders of religion, education, social welfare, busi- ness and labor to a national conference in the White House. Replying, the President ex- pressed his "horror" over the Atlanta bombing and assured Rabbi Prinz that "the full facilities of the Federal Govern- ment are being used to bring about the arrest of those people who are responsible for such regrettable incidents. "My associates and I will give your suggestion for the convening of a White House conference to consider this problem, as well as a special Governor's conference careful consideration," President Eisen. hower stated in his reply. Confidential Files on Anti- Semitic Groups Ransacked WASHINGTON, (JTA) The files of the national head- quarters of the Jewish War Veterans were ransacked over the week-end, with mounting evidence leading police to a theory that the break-in was motivated by anti-Jewish es- pionage. An investigation disclosed that items of value that would attract a common thief were ignored: The intent of intruders was apparently to study the confidential records of the JWV including that • organiza- tion's files on hate groups. The FBI is "in touch" with an extensive investigation launched by police in nearby Arlington, Va., following a bomb threat that forced can- cellation of services at Arling. ton Unitarian Church at which Rabbi Emmet A. Frank, of Alexandria, was scheduled to deliver a guest sermon. Rabbi Frank has been a target of segregationist wrath because of a recent sermon in which he advocated equality for Virginia Negroes. The rabbi will address the church next Sunday. A group of Unitarian minis- . tens in the District of Colum- bia area said the bomb threat was part of "a dangerous nationwide pattern of lawless- ness and violence." (Many West German news- papers are deliberately playing down and sometimes suppress- ing reports of the wave of anti- Jewish bombings and threats in the United States. German publishers were described as fearing that wide publicity about American anti-Semitism might regenerate anti-Semitic violence in West Germany.) Rep. Hugh Scott of Pennsyl- vania made known Tuesday that 19 U.S. Senators and can- didates for the Senate have agreed to join him in co- sponsoring a bill to make it a Federal crime to bomb syna- gogues, schools and churches. Rep. Scott is Republican can- didate for U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania. Senators who indicated they \you'd co-sponsor an anti-bomb- ing bill are J. Glenn Beall, Maryland; John W. Bricker, Ohio; Frank Carlson, Kansas; Homer E. Capehart, Indiana; Clifford P. Case, New Jersey; Everett NI. Dirksen, Illinois; Ralph E. Flanders, Vermont; John D. Hoblitzell, Jr., West Virginia; Jacob K. Javits, New York; William Langer, North Dakota; Thomas E. Martin, Iowa; Charles E. Potter, Michi- gan, and Chapman Revercomb, West. Virginia. Some of those named, however, will not be returning to the Senate when it reconvenes in January be- cause of expiration of their terms. Rep. Scott said Republican candidates for the Senate who would support anti - bombing legislation if elected included Hobart F. Atkins, Tennessee; Byard Ewing, Rhode Island; Harold W. Handley, Indiana; Robert W. Kean, New Jersey; Kenneth B. Keating, New York, and Winston L. Prouty, Ver- mont. According to Rep. Scott, such legislation "would make avail- able any of the 6,000 FBI agents who are stationed throughout the United States." As United States postal inspectors were alerted to exercise additional vigilance in combing the mails for in- citement to violence against religious and racial minori- ties a top Post Office Depart- ment aide revealed that he will seek a conference with Justice Department attorneys to determine whether hate literature can be barred from the mails under cur- rent laws. Herbert B. Warburton, gen- eral counsel of the Post Office Department, indicated that what the two departments would have to determine was whether the Post Office could refuse to accept hate literature, leaving the publishers to ini- tiate court action to force ac- ceptance, or whether to start court action against organiza- tions which mail such propa- ganda on the grounds that they have violated the law. Bombings Condemned by Virginia's Gov. Almond asked Virginians to "condemn" bombings and threats against synagogues, churches and schools. While reiterating his stand against desegregation, the Vir- ginia Governor said: "Let us condemn in no unmistakable language those among us in America who feel it is incum- bent on themselves to threaten the safety of the people." The Governor said he believed such tactics as last Sunday's bomb threat against an Arlington, Va.; Unitarian church featuring a guest sermon by Rabbi Emmet Frank are "inspired by Com- ists." Gov. Almond said that "in Virginia we have no room, no feeling, no sympathy for John Kasper or the Ku Klux Klan." Kasper, segregationist extrem- ist, said last week • that "the American people are realizing that Jews, not the Negroes, are the principal cause of the trouble and they're going to get it." The Governor's r em arks criticizing Kasper and the KKK were applauded by his audience of an estimated 700 delegates (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to an annual convention of the to The Jewish News) RICHMOND, Va.— Governor Virginia Congress of Parents J.

N Crackpots and Their Nazi Pattern — K One of five suspects questioned by Atlanta, Ga., police in connection with the dynamiting of a Jewish synagogue was Wallace II. Allen, 32, shown (left, above) at the Atlanta police head- quarters. Found in Allen's home, police say, was anti-Semitic literature and penciled drawings at right, in which the Nazi swastika is given prominent display in one corner. In the lower right photo, George Lincoln Rockwell, 40, is shown looking over some anti- Jewish and anti-integration literature at his home in Arlington, Va., after he was questioned by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. A "mystery" letter, found in the home of an Atlanta, Ga., man arrested in connection with the bombing of a synagogue, was traced to Rockwell, an artist and a pamphleteer. No charge was made against him. Broken glass in a door demonstrates the force of a homemade black-powder bomb that exploded inside Anshai Emeth Temple in Peori a, Ill., damaging the interior, is shown in the lower left photo. The synagogue's rabbi, Joseph Ginsberg said lie thought the bombing was conceived by a "twisted mind."
