The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s assistance to local police probing the recent wave of synagogue and school bombings is “reducing the threat of continued bigot-inspired violence,” Philip Klutznick, B’nai B’rith president, said today in his year-end report to the board of governors of the organization. He lauded the FBI and its director, J. Edgar Hoover, for their “deep concern” with the bombings and threats of bombings.
Declaring that problems of enforcing “the rule of law” are a “continuing issue of transcendent importance” to the welfare of the nation, Mr. Klutznick said that “the investigative efforts, training assistance and scientific services of the FBI have been a tremendous value in improving the efficiency and performance of law enforcement agencies in all parts of the country.”
