PREDICTS USE OF ANTI-SEMinSMIN CAMPAIGN
End Discrimination To Achieve Lasting Peace: Kluckhom
NEW YOEK (JPS) — "Un, 'doubtedly antl-Semltlsm will be used by some of Winkle's and Mr. Roosevelt's opponents" In the 1944 Presidential campaign. It was predicted by Victor Rles- el, labor columnist In the New York Post. • Mr. Winkle's "bid for the Republican nomination", Mr. Kiesel observes, has brought on an Inten.slted campaign of Iso¬ lationist iMlltlclans to "keep the Republican nomination from Willkle and to discredit the Rbosevelt administration on its handling of the nation's inter¬ nal affairs". "Rabble rousers" like Gerald L. K. Smith have been trying to convince the "re¬ spectable Republican isolation¬ ists of their ability to poll big votes, he continues.
"Detfolt Coughllnltes and 'na¬ tionalists' are watchir»g care¬ fully the antl-Semltlc campaign of Edward A. Carey for Mayor. Carey's vote In the coming pri¬ maries will be considered a full reflection of anti-Semitic strength in a city which has had more concentrated anti-Jewish agitation than any other city.in the U. S.," Mr. Riesel asserts.
"Carey, who claims that he has Boms Aril, and CIO support, has Just distributed 6q,000 bluntly antl-Semltlc leaflets.   His tech-
• Thomas Jefferson wasimn!antlJ Semite. In a city where Smith could poll nearly 100,000 votes on a program of 'Tires For Everybody', anything can hap¬ pen.
Smith's Ueutenant in Indian¬ apolis, Carl Mote, a public utility ex^utlve, has his own method of fighting Willkie and the Presl« dent.
"Here is a quote from t})e August edition of his magazine 'America Preferred':
"If the International bankers again should succeed in disfranc¬ hising the vast majority of American citizens by limiting their choice for President to Roosevelt and Willkle, or two contenders of their kind, then the destruction of our Republic Is foreordained . In such an event, good marksmanship will attain a new Value in American life".
"The threat of violence could hardly be less subtle".
B'nai B'rith Books Anti-Defamation Speaker Tuesday
NEW YORK (JPS)—Racial dis¬ crimination In the United States must be halted as a basis for postwar collaboration with the rest of the world In the endea¬ vor to maintain an enduring peace, it was declared by Profess¬ or Clyde Kluckhom of Harvard University in an address deliv¬ ered at the fourth annual con¬ ference on Science, Philosophy And Religion in Their Relation to the Democratic Way of Life, meeting here.
Observing that discrimination is found In some of the great educational institutions in the United States, Prof Kluckhom said: "It is clear that In what Is In theory an educational or¬ ganization, qualifications other than those of Intellect and char¬ acter play a role".
At a later session of the con¬ ference, CathoUc, Protestant and Jewish scholars stressed the re¬ sponsibility ot religion in the es¬ tablishment of an enduring world peace. Dr. Henry Slonlm- sky of the Jewish Institute df Religion urged that Jews and non-Jews act in concert to recom¬ mend "world economic and poli¬ tical reforms". Such a united declaration, he said, would re¬ sult In "so great a volume of power, such a tidal wave of mor¬ al force, that the men who rule the.' world In leglplatlye h^lls
he'-iarried' alorig^ ana Obey Its voice".

WASHINGTON (JPS)—In re¬ ply to a request by a group of labor leaders that the United Nations admit to all territories under their control Jewish refu- gees who escape from Axis- dominated Europe, it was report¬ ed here that Secretary of State Cordell Hull Indicated his ap¬ proval of the Initiative taken by organized American labor and said he would do all that wa.s po.ssible to alleviate the suffer, ing of European Jewry.
The request was presented in the form of a Joint statement signed by William Green, Presi¬ dent of the American Federation of Labor; David Dublnsky. Presi. dent of the International Ladies Garment Workfers Union; Adolph Held, Chairman of the Jewi.sh Labor Comfnlfttee, and Philip Murray, President of the Cong¬ re.ss of Industrial Organizations. It urged the United States Gov¬ ernment to reiterate It.s warnings to all tho.se "guilty of aiding the Nazi leaders In their Inhuman campaign of exterminating the defenseless Jewish population of Europe, that they will be held accountable as war criminals and will be punl.shed for every Innocent life they have taken".
Pointing out that Hitler had "solemnly warned the civilized world that should the Nazi hordes face defeat they will leave not a single Jew jdlve in thelif retreafj the statetSSStobi'.eryiS' '"Today aK^gfaiidasbn, <5;; brink of defeat. Italy has su^j' rendered unconditionally; on the Eastern front the Nazis are crumbling; the German legions are In retreat everywhere.
"Free American Labor which feels a kinship with the victims of Nazi terror, has been horror- stricken by the slaughter being carried on against the Jews", It continued.
"Tim;e and again the desperate cry of the Jews languishing in the ghettos, death chambers, and concentration camps has reach¬ ed us here. Time and again the President of the United States, the Secretary of Stale,and Americans of all walks of life, of all creeds and colors, have de¬ clared their revulsion at the ab¬ ominable crimes perpetrated by the Nazl.s upon a ilefensele.s.s peo. pie.
"The United States therefore must warn the German people that the United Nations have decided to establish the identity of those Germans who are re¬ sponsible for the acts (jf .savagery against the Jews and other peo¬ ples; Ihat as each of these crim¬ inal ilecils Is commuted it Is he¬ ing Investigated, and evidence i.s relentlessly being piled up for the purposes of justitX'.
"We al.so appeal to nur Gov¬ ernment and to the Governments of the United Nalion.s" the state¬ ment continued, "to admit lo all territories under their control, Jewish refugees who may suc¬ ceed In escaping from the Nazi hell. Now is the time to sal¬ vage those Jewish people who are sllll alive and who can still be saved.
"American labor, on its part, in answer to the ma.ss horror that is being inflicted on our broth¬ ers in Europe, pledges again to use all efforts in the future as it has done ih the past for the complete destruction of the ene¬ mies of democracy and its legions of death. We shall fight on until our enemies have surrend¬ ered   unconditionally".
