 M Protest On Ban
Catholic Veteran Scores Jewish Vets for Right
 AbOut-Face'; New Controversy Breaks Out

Feeling ran high in veterans cir cles today over the action of David Fannick post, Jewish War Veterans, in withdrawing it's support of Police Superintendent William J. Roach s ban on the Spanish civil war pie tyre Spain in Flames" The post yesterday in letter to Supt. Roach retracted a previous statement sup porting the banning of the picture, declaring that it had acted much too hastily"
 A writer who identifies himself as "A Catholic Veteran" claims today in a letter to The Democrat that the Jewish War Veterans have taken walkout on their Cath olic friends" Claiming that Russia is behind the loyalist government he declares that money gathered by showing of the picture would go to buy ammunition and war materials to slaughter more innocents."
 Other local veterans groups are still firm in their stand behind the police superintendent. The picture was barred from Waterbury after having been scheduled for a show ing here last Saturday night under the auspices of the North American Committee to Aid Spanish Democ- racy, the local chapter of which is headed by three ministers.
 Another Jewish organization joined the supporters of the show ing of Spain in Flames" today when the Jwish National Workers alliance, JeoaSh branch, No. 237, brought forward resolution con- demning the ban on the film in this city.
 The Catholic Veterans" letter follows:
 Editor of The Democrat:
 So the Jewish War Veterans have taken a walk out" on Superinten- dent of Police William Roach, their ''buddies" and their Catholic friends! I am not only surprised, but dis illusioned and hurt. It looks to me as if the David Fannick post boys have fallen victims to some slick propaganda inspired by the so-calleG North American committee to Aid Spanish Democracy. In effecting a nasty retreat from their decision to protest the showing of the film Spain in Flames" they not only showed lack of moral courage, but deliberately insult the Catholics of Waterbury.
 They have appealed to the world to boycott" German-made goods They allege that the persecution of the Jews in Germany is inspired by racial and religious prejudices. What is the showing of such pie lures as Spain in Flames" but an effort to vindicate Communists and to Infer that Catholic Insurgents are responsible for the civil war and the wanton destruction of life and property?
 Let me ask the Jewish veterans where has Bishop Mcconnell, Meth odist prelate, and his host of "lib- erty-loving Americans" been hiding since the religious persecution start ed in Mexico. They needn't rush to far-away Spain. Here's a Situa- tion in our own back yard. Who among them has offered to raise funds flor a glass of milk, a slice

of bread, pair of shoes or a band age" for the children of Mexico?
 Have my local Jewish buddieS guarantee that any money raised here will be spent for the relief of the innocents? Don't they realize that all funds collected will be spent for ammunition, guns, aeroplanes to aid the anarchiStic loyaliSt to desc crate more temples of worship and to slaughter more innocents. Why is Russia providing funds to aid the loyalists. Does that Goddess nation love either the Catholics or the Jews? Absolutely not!
 Chief Roach, as understand it, is not violating any constitutional provision in banning the picture. He is acting on the theory that the picture is an insult to some 75,000 Waterburians. It is likely to inspire disorder, possibly riot. Wouldn't he take the same action if the Jew ish faith were made the object of vicious propaganda?
 Let the Jewish boys study the sit- uation. They have too much to lose in Waterbury in honor, ia prestige. Let them consider their Catholic friends in Waterbury, not Bishop Mcconnell, Let them remember in- cidentally that it has been through the mutual Understanding, goodwill and cooperation, that the Cath olics and Jews of Waterbury have lived in religious harmony for years and that some of the leading Jewish merchants of Waterbury are indebt- ed for their rise to prominence in the mercantile field to the patron age of Catholics.
 A CATHOLIC VETERAN.

 WHEREAS, as a neWSreel film, it does not fall within the juris- diction of censorship boards, and,
 WHEREAS, the authenticity of these records have been sub stantiated with diolague written by John Dos Passes and Archi- bald MacLeish, and
 | WHEREAS, the action of the superintendent of police is in vio- lation of the American way of doing things" violating as it does, the first amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America, which guarantees mo law to be passed abridging the freedom of speech or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble" and
 WHEREAS, the film Spain in Flames" deals with the up-to- the-minute question of the civil war in Spain, and
