The Denver chief of police has taken personal charge of the investigation of an anti-Jewish bombing outrage in Denver.
The incident occurred during a dinner of the Pioneer Women at the BMG Synagogue when unknown persons placed a crude, home-made bomb in a parked car belonging to a family attending the dinner. No one was injured in the explosion.
The local Anti-Defamation League office charged that this was the fourth bombing incident in the immediate vicinity of BMH Synagogue during the past 18 months. It called the bombing “a most vicious and reprehensible crime” and demanded that the perpetrators “be brought to the bar of justice.”
