RABBI SLVERMAN RAPS JUDGE CAYTON .= Says Apology Is Due for|E™ Charging “Crime Wave” Exists Among Jews. ‘Widespread comment among the Jews ®f Washington was evoked by the ad- Friday night of Judge Nathan +Cayton of the Municipal Court, Who %old a religious festival audience at Israel Synagogue that the “Jew- fsh race has produced far more than its #hare of criminals of all classes.” For this contention and for his asser- tion that “a Jewish crime wave” of considerable proportions exists over the wountry, Judge Cayton owes an apol- ©gy to the Jews of Washington and to ‘those of America, Rabbl Jeorge Sil- ‘verman assured an audience last night in the Thieferth Israel Synagogue. Addresses Jewish Audience. Rabbi Silverman was speaking before #pecial Chanukah services attended by npruenutlves of most of the Jewish *gongregations in Washington. The speaker insisted that charges of an increase in crime among American Jews were erroneous and far from ac- curate. The fact of the matter is, he + pointed out, an increasing number of Jews each year are winning high places #n industry and the professions. The rabbi asserted there were no #Mgures to prove that criminal tenden- ries are more pronounced among Jews and cited the names of great leaders of the race, who, he said, were winning Tespect and renown for Jews every- where. Attorney Gottleib’s Comment. Another speaker at the meeting was 1. Silo Gottleib, Washington attorney. Mr. Gottlieb cautioned the audience not to take Judge Cayton's criticism too seriously, and declared that it must thave been based on a limited knowledge of lg'le subject.

Organization Inactive. By the Assoclated Press. Asserting the announced .dissolution of the Fascist League of America was believed by many patriotic Americans of Italian blood to be. “deceptive propa- ganda” to throw the American people off their guard, Senator Heflin, Demo- crat, of Alabama, said today he would seek a Senate investigation of the Fas- cist activities in. this count intry. Heflin said he was “astounded at Secretary ~ Stimson’s - statement last week declaring an investigation had shown no improper acts by the Fascist g‘nnlnuon in this country against United States Government.” Regards Secretary as “Deceived.” Somebody in the State Department has evidently deceived ,Secretary Stim- son l.bnut this matter,” he said, adding that: “A thorough investigation of Fas- cist activities in the United States will show a shocking and horrible condition to have been: produced,wherever that gr[mllld tion had lifted its hideous ead.” ‘The Alabaman, author of the resolu- tion calling for the State Department inquiry, said the PFusclst orgenisation “never thought of the disbanding scheme” until after his resolution was introduced. Serves Notice on Fascist Leaders. “Mussolini’s Fascist leaders here have announced that they would take the charter and all records to Rome,” he sald. “I wish to serve notice on them now that I shall ask that the charter, records and all other papers connected with the activities of the Fascisti order be kept in the United States for ex- amination by the Senate committee.” One of the gravest dangers confront- ing the American people 'ndly he as- serted, is “alien influence,” coupled with the “cowardice we see displayed by pub- lic officials who ought to be firm and outspoken .glmt these deadly evils, but who- seem be intimidated by these forelgn influences and their bold and arrogant agents who hate the free insti- tutions of our country.”, MILLION DECLARED IDLE.
