The Chelsea Jewish community numbering 18,000 Jews out of the population of 40,000 has been very actively engaged in putting over the NRA campaign. The Jewish leader of NRA activities in this community is Hyman Kaplan, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. Chelsea activities have come to the attention of the general public and have been cited in the general daily press. Under Mr. Kaplan’s close scrutiny, a committee carefully investigates all industries and concerns disobeying the codes. His committee consists of Frances Tyrrel, Morris Stone, Sergeant Valentine, P. Elmore and Sam Sandburg. Miss Etta Klein is secretary.
