Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - October 25, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news these Days by Cisoree e. Sokolsky the hate Sheet racial problems in lie United states Are sufficiently complicated without adding to them the ugliness of hate propaganda. What arises out of 300 years of american history and tradition need not be stirred to tragedy by exaggeration and falsehood. It was reported that in cities where synagogue bombings occurred a hate Sheet a common sense a edited by Conde Mcginley was distributed. Hate sheets generally seek to tie together prejudice against negroes with prejudice against jews so that it is possible to hate two groups at once. This particular one consisted of a single Sheet of newsprint with printed matter on both sides. The main headline reads a zionists control tile subhead reads a the a act supposedly a negro organization is controlled by Asiatic marxist jews who do not have the welfare of the negro at heart they use the negro to create strife and disorder Tho oldest trick in the Book Divide and conquer a the big lie in All this is that the zionist movement has nothing whatsoever to do with american problems but deals Only with the establishment of a jewish state in Israel. Historically it can go Back to any period in the Bible or to the bar Koch a revolt <132 135� against Rome or to the Basle Congress called by or Theodor Herzl <1897. Zionism is the exact opposite from communism for i whereas the latter is Bast d upon dialectical materialism my is atheistic zionism is based upon the biblical Promise of god to Abra j Ham concerning the land of Canaan the Central feature of Page i of a common sense Quot is a strip con i taming the photographs of negro leaders namely Channing Tobias. Hulan e. Jack or. Ralph Bunche congressman Adam Clayton Powell or. W e b Dubois Thurgood Marshall rot Wilkins the Contention is Ilia these negro leaders Are communists and under their names Are listed a number of pro communist citations no source is demoted no names of organizations appear. The printed matter accompanying these photographs is extraordinarily Tlam Matory. Below Are photographs of five jews congressman Emanuel Ceiler. Herbert Lehman Felix Frankfurter. Arthur Spingarn and senator Jacob Jav its. They Are described As marxists. 1 to my knowledge these men Are not marxists Herbert Lehman. Who had been governor of the state Jot new York and a United states. St a tor is described As a most powerful in marxist this is not True of United states s u p r e in e court Justice Felix Frankfurter. A com Moll sense Quot says Quot this zionist jew rules the i supreme court with an Iron i this is obvious untrue in the very nature of the supreme com t. There is a picture of or Louis Finkelstein and duet Justice Earl Warren rile caption is Quot Warren studies talmudic Law or. I ins Finkelstein is one of the great theologians of the world a gentleman and a scholar the author of Many distinguished works i Ani sure that Justice Warren is not studying the talmud or jewish Law the talmud appears in two so l ies the Jerusalem and the babylonian it is in hebrew and aramaic and employees the Scholastic method to reach a conclusion it requires profound study taking much of a life time jewish Law which Justice Warren is also supposed to be studying includes not Only the old testament and the talmud but also the Shulhan Aruch response of the rabbis. It would take or. Justice Warren the rest of his life to learn the languages. Hebrew and aramaic and the literature of these studies. The publication of this picture in this hate Sheet can Only be designed to humiliate both or. Finkelstein and chief Justice Warren by implications that Are false. The other Side of the Sheet is More of the same. Ending in a photograph of a negro and a White woman under the caption. Quot Mon a realization is the then it says that a there is tile inevitable result it i wonder it anyone has any statistics on the inter marriage of negroes and Whites and the distribution of such marriages Over the United states. I have sought such statistics in order to form some kind of a conclusion but none seem to be available that can be accepted As authentic. It is understandable that such a photograph can stimulate antagonism in some areas by no name arc Livena he vol. So no. 252 it.
