Henderson Says Allies
Have Been Coward|y
In Failing Jews
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. Leon Hen
derson. former OPA administrator
said last night that the Allied gov
ernmentS, in the face of clear call
of moral duty, have been guilty of
coWardice" in failing to rescue the
prosecuted Jews of Europe.
This war issue has been avoided
submerged, postponed, played down
and resisted with all the forms of
political force available to powerful
governments" Mr.. Henderson said
at Salute to Sweden and Den
mark" rally attended by $500 per-
sons in tribute to the countries for
saving the Danish Jewish popula-
ton from Nazi-ordered persecution
The rally was sponsored by the
Emergency Committee to Save the
Jewish People of Europe,
Il say, in all earnestness. that
Sweden and Denmark have proven
the tragedy of Allied judgment.
Make no mistake. This is a concern,
this is a responsibility, for all Amer
leans and for all Allies" he said.
Mr.. Henderson said the Allies
should open the doors OF the
slaughter house from the outside
by formally organizing to save the
Jews. providing temporary asylum,
telling neutral and satellite nations
that the Jews must be saved, and
finally by warning Hitler and
every one who aSsaSsinates the Jew
that they are being set down for
trial for murder
Representativ Celler, Democrat
of New York, told the rally that
England and the United States
have it in their hands to do good
but they withhold the good Only
public opinion can force those two
countries to do what is good and
right and masterful. Officialdom
in Washington and London is as
unfeeling as brass crocodile"
He charged there existed within
the State Department an Arab
cabal which is more concerned with
appeasing Arabs" than with Jewish
welfare.
Other speakers were Senator
LANCER, Republican, of North Da-
kota; Sigrid Undset, Nobel prize
winning novelist; Mrs Ruth Owen
Rohde, former United States Min
lister to Denmark, and Peter H.

vention here today. after hearing

sons or personal ambitions, are will
ling to risk the entire future of the
, Nation in our present struggle fol
survival by creating division, en-
couraging strikes and stoppages OF

Mr.. Murray said in another part
of his 74-page report to the conven-
ton that the tactics and threats
of a certain individual gave special
background and ammunition to the
activities of the enemies of labor in
Congress"
The current session of Congress-
he declared, has witnessed the most
vicious and continuous attack on
labor and labor's rights in the his
tory of the Nation"
Regarding political action, Mr.
Murray asserted that "it is definitely
not the policy of C1O to organize
third party. but rather to abstain
from and discourage any move ir
that direction"
He reported that CIO member
ship increased l 1,104.936 since the last
convention and said more than ST..

activities during the year.

all OF the important war issues"
He also pleaded for internationa
labor unity, saying, ITO assure the

conversation.

Macmillan, who conferred with the
