Police Commissioner Thomas F. Suilivan has assigned a number of detectives to track down the origin of anti-Semitic literature which has been flooding Chelsea and other Greater Boston communities, it was announced here today. “The anti-Semitic pamphlet campaign is no kid stuff, but an organized attack by adults,” the Commissioner said.

The pamphlets, well-written and requiring considerable research, are represented as historic literature, tracing the origins and growth of the Chelsea, Roxbury and Dorchester communities, but laying whatever ills and troubles have beset these sections at the doors of the Jewish people. The publications make a direct plea to readers to drive the Jews from the communities.
