_te Women's  Voice,  the  official organ of We. the Mothers, with a   circulation   nf   approximately 20.000, is still carrying on an in¬ tensive anti-Semitic propaganda campaign  against   Secretary  of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau . . . Believe-It-Or-Not Dept,: The Rldgewood, N. J„ Board of Real¬ tors   has   an   agreement   which can be checked by its lO'l.l min¬ utes  — an    agreement    which wouid    make    Mr,  Hitler very happy , . . The agreement states that any real estate agent accu.s- ed of a sale to a Jew will be tried by a jury ot the board member¬ ship and,  It convicted,  will  be asked to resign from the board and or pay a fine amounting to twice the commission involved. In the agreement the word "un¬ desirable' is substituted tor the word    "Jew"    .   .   .    Recently, through some fluke, a Jew mir- chased  a  home  in  Rldgewood, and the agent who sold it to him pleaded      tor    mercy    on   the grounds that he had not known that the buyer was Jewish , And now listen to this! . . . The Jewish "gentleman"    who    had bought this home In Rldgewood made  the   following  statement: "In a real sense the Board   of Realtors is right ... A town can be killed by the wrong kind of people, regardless ot their cre.ed or their color"  ;  .  . Then  this Jew pleaded exonerating circum¬ stances — because he had not been in  synagogue  all  his  life exceiit tor weddings and funer¬ als . . .-This happened in 1945 In the   United   States   ot   America whose, sons  are dying to  free the world trom Fascism . . .
