altogether the Utah Senator said.
Senator King claimed that he maaes
frequent trips. to New York's East
side. travelling incognit, mixing among
Jews. and finds the vast majority
sympathetic to radicalism. He had, to

At numler of Columbia Uni

This Objectionable radical type is
not Jewish" Senator King said. 'for
they have deserted the God ,of Abra-

apostasy from Judaism with anger
and disappointment. They are bring

God is inconceivable to me"
Senator King also said that no ma

flute his impression of Jewish immi-

read and study any literature furnish

Judging from Senator Kings intense
feeling on the subject it is quite pos
sible that he may air his views pub
licly either on the Senate floor. or in
committee.
Insofar as his bill was concerned
