Continued anti-Jewish attacks in “an important section of the Mexican press” without Government disapproval and efforts to expel an American Jew on charges of bringing in refugees were reported in the N.Y. Times today by Frank L. Kluckhohn following his expulsion from Mexico.
In a dispatch filed from Brownsville, Texas, Mr. Kluckhohn said the United States Embassy had thus far blocked expulsion of Lionel Dalkowitz,
sought on the grounds that he had brought refugees from Germany into Mexico Dalkowitz, a native of Texas, was reported still under government surveillance. Referring to the anti-Semitic campaign in the press, Mr. Kluckhohn declared: “This attack is similar to that which led the Mexican Interior Department to rule that ‘persons who have lost their nationality’ can enter Mexico only in exceptional instances and with the special permission of the Secretary of the Interior.”
