William Hunt Diederich, internationally known sculptor, has been expelled from the National Institute of Arts and Letters for mailing anti-Semitic literature under the organization’s name.
Diederich, who was present during the meeting on his expulsion, the first in the Institute’s history, did not deny the charges, but criticized the group for “turning him in” to the Federal Government.
