ence were Jews, and every time
Lenin or Trotzky was mentioned
they app1auded wildly.
Senator King indicated that
his information about the radical.
ism of the Jewish immigrant type
was obtained from other sources
also.
The Senator was anxious to
make it quite clear that he is in
no way anti Semitic on the con-
trary he is, he said, lifelong
friend of the Jews and was chief.
ly responsible for the election of
Governor Bamberger of Utah. AS
a Mormon, the Senator even be-
lieves Jewish blood flows in his
own veins. His son married and
is living happily with a Jewess.
"This Objectionable radical
type is not Jewish" Senator
King said, "for they have desert.
ed the God of Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob. I view their apostasy
from Judaism with anger and
disappointment. They are bring
ing grief upon the Jewish race.
which has made supreme moral
contributions to civilization. A
Jew who denies God is inconceiv-
able to me-" b1oo
Senator King also said that no
material has been furnished him
to refute his impression of Jew
ish immigrants but he would be
delighted to be proved wrong,
and would gladly read and study
any literature furnished him from
Jewish sources. Y" r
Judging from Senator Kings
intense feeling on the subjectssit
is quite possible that he may air
his views publicly either on the.
Senate floor or in Committee.
Insofar as his bill was con-
cerned, the Senator said he had
not consulted with any colleagues
before introducing it and made.
no effort since to ascertain the
sentiments of others.

Senator King Especially Opposed
To Jewish immigration

Washington q. T. AIN an
interview granted your CORE
spondent today, concerning the
recent bill he introduced in the
Senate to reduce immigration to
two per cent of the nationalities
in America, based on continuance
of the present quota system, SEN
ator William King, Utah, Demo-
crat, member of the Senate Immi-
grafton Committee, revealed an
unusually antagonistic attitude
towards Jewish immigration.
Jewish immigrants, he de-
c1ared, as his firm opinion based
on two years of close personal
observation, are Overwhelming
ly Bolshevistic" and objection
ably radical in type.
Senator King made a frank re-
violation that it was in a large
measure because of the Senate's
fear of this radical tendency on
the part of Jewish immigrants
from Eastern Europe that led
that body to enact the prevailing
strict quota regulations. The
sentiment of the Senate has
grown even more antagonistic,
and the Senate would, if possible,
close the doors altogether, the
Utah Senator said.
Senator King claimed that he
makes frequent trips to New
York's East Side, travelling in
cognito, mixing among Jews, and
finds the vast majority sympathe-
tic to radica1ism. He had, to his
utter CONSERVATION, discovered
this to be equally true of Jew
ish college students and so-called
intellectuals.
At a number of Columbia Uni
versity meetings he states he in
terviewed many Jewish students,
finding practically all of them
atheistic and radical. s.r
During the past two years,
Senator King says, he has talked
to more than 1000 Jews person
ally. in the course of a special
study Of their leaning towards
radicalism.

ator France on Soviet Russia at.

A moment later the two women

Hannah raised her eyebrows in

laughed at her earnestness, but
if you ever have children you'll
know how you'll be jealous OF
your daughter-in-law the minute
the boys born. And I don't know
why I should care if Junior
doesn't stay Jewish-but | will.
I guess it's just born in us-we
want to have our children stay

She was silent moment, gaz-
ing into the flames. "You asked

Hannah leaned toward her, all
the satire gone from her eyes.
"You can read" she suggested,
"study about Judaism" but her
hostess interrupted her rather
rudely.
"You can't get much out OF
books" she answered, almost
fercely. you've got to just feel
these things-and believe them
if you want to make your chill
dren believe in them, too. You
wouldn't want Miss Brandt, our
Protestant head-librarian to teach

brainy and could read up all you

of the wedding and that he should look forward

fingers rested on the keys ready to fill the
edifce with the strains of the wedding
march when-the brides father an
nounced that his daughter had suffered a
nervous collapse.
But Miss Baker herself, after she had
been sent away to California to recuper-
ate her health, gave a rather fulsome &C
count of that tragic occasion:
81 was awfully tired Saturday morn
ing, but got up because the dressmakers
wanted to try on my dresses. Don't I
hate dresses!
81 slept all day Sunday, was so tired
and nervous. And Allister came over.
"When Allister saw | was i'll on Sun

weak and exhausted from dressmakers'
fittings and the round of parties people
gave for US that could not get up.
CDR. Walker said l could never last
through the ordeal. The hair-dresser
came. While she was curling my hair
Allister telephoned for about the tenth
time and mother insisted we postpone the
ceremony or have it in the house. About
$3.50 l went from my bedroom to the
drawing-room to have my wedding pict-
ure taken, l collapsed-wedding gown,
veil, flowers and all. And the next thing
| knew it was seven o'clock on the even
ing of January 2 and was not married."
Soon the story got around that Barry
Baxter, the actor who died the other day,
had something to do with the real reason
for Miss Bakers collapse. His last ap-
pearance was as the leading man with
Ina Claire in "Bluebeard's Eighth
Wife" But he had met Miss Baker last
year while playing in Happy Go

to Miss Baker and the McCormick's.
When he heard the rumors linking his
name with Miss Bakers he tried to set
matters right.
