Semitic publication, which first appeared last week. Healey, who has been a frequent speaker at meetings of the Friends, has been a flagrant advocate of violence against what he terms the “Jewish peril.”
Several other notorious Nazi agitators will be called to testify next week, Dickstein said last night.
Working on evidence submitted to it by the Jewish Daily Bulletin, the committee also expects to summon before it an active “anti-Communist” who has been distributing the forged “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” and other anti-Semitic literature. Indication that this person is being financed by socially and financially important interests will be probed in an effort to establish a new link between Wall Street and an organized campaign to spread prejudice in the United States.
As Dickstein prepared material for further executive hearings of his committee he also was awaiting the decision of Supreme Court Justice Edward J. McGoldrick on an appeal for a State charter by the Friends of New Germany. It appeared likely yesterday that a ruling on this question will be handed down by the middle of this week.
Interest in a purported Fascist plot, revealed last week by Gen. Smedley D. Butler, continued unabated yesterday, when it was learned that the movements of Robert Sterling Clark and his attorney, Albert G. Christmas, both now in Europe, are being watched. The committee already has announced it will ask both men to explain financial transactions between Clark, who according to Butler, was represented as being willing to finance a Fascist coup here, and Gerald B. MacGuire, bond salesman and supposed go-between in the scheme.
Charges that CCC camps were to be used as focal points for dissemination of Fascist propaganda are being investigated by Department of Justice agents, it was also learned yesterday.
Dickstein expressed the opinion that MacGuire “is shielding somebody, I believe; probably a lot of people.”
“But we’re determined to investigate all the principals in this thing,” he said, “and I’m convinced important results will follow.”
