Stotesbury Ends Inquiry on Jews in National Guard
The Stotesbury led public hearings at the State Arsenal as Maurice Simmons urged further scrutiny into alleged Jewish discrimination in National Guard enlistment. Simmons proposed a diagnostic system with reason codes for rejections and a three member appeals committee from diverse faiths. General Stotesbury warned against overextending the inquiry while affirming progress and readiness to report to Governor Whitman. Captain Hartley testified about Major Loeser’s alleged discrimination in 1913 admissions, while Loeser defended his policy of broad recruiting and denied withholding Kaufman.
