The Woman’s Patriotic Conference on National Defense, now meeting here at the Hotel Statler with the reported participation of 34 large national women’s organizations, was told by Joseph P. Kemp, who has long been aligned with the country’s most prominent anti-Semites, that the B’nai B’rith’s Anti-defamation League is even more dangerous to this country than the Communists.
Kamp, who served a prison term for contempt of Congress and is now under citation for contempt of the Buchanan Lobby Investigating committee, was one of the principal speakers at the conference. The Women’s Auxiliary of the Jewish War Veterans was listed as a participant in the conference.
Rabbi Benjamin Schultz, national director of the American Jewish League against Communism, who addressed the conference Saturday night, assailed Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, chairman of the President’s Commission on Internal Security and Internal Rights, and Defense Secretary George C. Marshall.
