The last time Jewish leaders consulted with Turkish authorities on anti-Jewish agitation occurred last October when a delegation led by Chief Hobbi Rapnael Saban called on the military authorities in this city who pledged that four books by the notorious anti-Semite Cevat Rifat Atilhan would be confiscated.
