CITY’S JEWISH I LEADERS VARY ! ON FORD’S ACTS Apology Too Late, Belief of Some; Others Say It Promotes Peace. Some Indianapolis Jewish leaders Friday expressed the opinion that Henry Ford's retraction of charges against the Semitic race, as printed in his Dearborn Independent, come Ltoo late. & Others, in statements to The Brimes, credited Ford with frankness ■ and said his complete apology would 'be satisfactory to Jewish people. Expressions of Indianapolis Jewish leaders: ' Albert S. Goldstein, 4425 N. Meridian St.—l cannot believe that Ford was not fully aware of the damnable outrage his paper was perpetrating upon our race. His changed attitude probably was caused by a realization that he was held in supreme contempt by the thinking men and women of the nation. His persecution of the Jew differed very little fronj those that have come down with the ages—and having become accustomed to them, the Jew of today was resigned to await the end—knowing that truth and justice must fianlly prevail. Sees Peace Promoted Mrs. Isaac Born, 38 E. Sixteenth 6t., president of the Indianapolis Council of Jewish Women—l noticed Mr. Ford’s statement with a great deal of satisfaction. With his changed attitude, I am sure that Mr. Ford can be a power of great good, not only for the Jewish people, but for all mankind. The real motto of Judaism is peace, peace of mind, body and soul. I am sure Mr. Ford Is furthering the best beliefs of his own, the Christian religion, and doing much to promote peace among all races and creeds. Samuel E. Rauh, 320 E. Maple Rd. —lt shows that he has a very strong character. Mr. Ford found out that he was wrong in his ideas and was frank enough and had nerve enough to admit it. Dr. A. S. Jaeger, 2935 Washington Blvd.—l feel that his amends are a little late and his excuses clumsy. He should have investigated sooner if he is as sincere as he claims to be. I can't 1 elp but feeling that there is a “nigger in the woodpile’’ somewhere. Secs the Light Sol Schloss, 3909 Washington Blvd.—Right is gerater than might. Any wrong done finally will be adjusted and the man who committed the wrong eventually will see the light. Ernest Cohn, 3929 Graceland Ave. —lt seems incomprehensible that any man of ordinary intelligence could stir up a hornet's net and not know ft. Th.e Jews jundoubtedly will be: glad that Mr. ford has retracted,' buT they never *will be able to understand why he started the thing and why he waited so long to stop.

Want Action Now Bu United Prrss • CLEVELAND. July 9.—Prominent Jews of Cleveland today accepted what they termed Henry Ford’s “plea” for forgiveness,” but called upon the Detroit millionaire to carry into action his remarks. “The Jews of America only can hope,” Leo Weidethal, editor of the Jewish Independent, told the United Press, “that Mr. Ford will follow up his statement with action, and that never again in American life will there sound a voice that bears baneful influence of old world teachings of hatred and malice.” Praised by Rosenwaid Bu United Press CHICAGO, July 9.—Henry Ford will find that forgiveness is not entirely a Christian virtue, Julius Rosenwaid, Jewish philanthropist and millionaire mail-order magnate, said today, in commenting on Ford’s statement, saying he rescinds attacks of Jews in his magazine, The Dearborn Independent. “Mr. Ford will find that the doctrine of forgiveness is a Jewish attribute as well as a Christian virtue,” Rosenwaid said. “It is never too late to make amends, and I congratulate Mr. Ford on his action.” FAIR AT MIDDLETOWN Tri-County Event Will Be Held July 26 to 28.

Noted Lawyers Praise Action Taken hyFord

Bu United Press - SARANAC LAKE, N. Y„ July 9. —Louis Marshall, president of the American Jewish committee, Friday told the story of how Henry Ford’s statement withdrawing charges against Jews made in his magazine, the Dearborn Independent, came to be drawn up, signed by the motor magnate, and made public. Marshall is on a vacation at Knollwood Club on lower Saranac Lake. The statement grew out of Ford’s desire to make amends for what he had decided were unjustified attacks, Marshall said, and resulted from conferences, between Marshall and representatives of Ford. I Delegates to Marshall Marshall’s statement follows: “Earl J. Davis of Detroit, formerly assistant attorney general of the United States, and Joseph Palma of New York, both friends of Henry Ford, came to me as his representatives and stated that Ford was statisfied that those whom he had put in charge of the Dearborn Independent had taken advantage of him by publishing a series of articles attacking Jews. As he had been convinced that all oharges made against them individually and collectively were without foundation and unjust, he wished to know what could be done to put an end to these conditions. “I stated very fully the gross injustice and the harm that had been done by these publications both here and abroad. I told him that the Jews had been grievously wounded by these libels and that mere words would not heal the injury. “I stated that there were a number of things that must be done. Particularly that there must be a complete retraction of all the false charges made, an apology, a discontinuance of the attacks, and amends of the wrong. After further discussion they said they would report to Ford what had taken place in the interview.

Explains Agreement Some days later they called again and said Ford would accept these conditions. There followed further discussion over the telephone and otherwise, with the result that on Tuesday of last week I was told that Ford was ready to sign the document which I received on Friday of last week with a letter addressed by Ford to Davis asking him and Palma to deliver his signed statement to me.” The Ford statement was given in duplicate to Arthur Brisbane. Later the other copy was also made available to inspection at the office of Marshall in New York City. Bu Tfnited Press DETROIT, July 9.—William H. Gallagher, attorney for Aaron Sapiro in his $1,000,000 libel suit against Henry Ford, told the United Press Friday that he thought Sapiro would withdraw his suit as a result of Ford’s repudiation of the Dearborn Independent’s articles attacking Jews. “My judgment is that Sapiro was not in this law suit for money, but for vindication of himself and his people,” Gallagher said. “That having been accomplished, there is no occasion for prosecuting the suit further, in my opinion. “However, I have not heard from Mr. Sapiro, and I don’t know what his decision will be.” Sapiro Informed Gallagher said arrangements for issuance of Ford’s statement were made with Louis Marshall, president of the American Jewish committee with Sapiro's knowledge. “Mr. Sapiro has been in possession of an unsigned copy of Mr. Ford’s retraction for some time,” Gallagher said. He added that Sapiro was advised of conferences

between Ford and Marshall. Gallagher later issued the following formal statement: “I have only one feeling up-.-n the publication of the explanation of Mr. Ford, a copy of which has been in my possession for some time. I am happy that Mr. Sapiro’s trial had the effect of bringing home to Mr. Ford the extent of the wrongs that had been perpetrated in his name and to know' that, now that this has been brought home ro him, he has had the magnaminity to have made public amends so far as lies within his power. Confidence in Ford \ “I have always believed that Mr. Ford’s confidence in others has been abused in the publication of these articles. I have takeen occasion to say in court that it was incredible that such wrongs could have been done in his name with his knowledged. I have said in court that when the trial was proceeded with and the facts were necessarily then brought to his attention that Mr. Ford would never countenance, much less seek to defend the libels that have appeared in the Dearborn Independent. “Before I was retained in Mr. Sapiro’s case I had never read the articles; I had but a hizy idea of a Jewish persecution by Ford, and shared the common opinion that in this persecution Mr. Ford was the innocent instrument of others. In common With the public I felt that the continuance of those articles was no less an injustice to Mr. Ford than to the Jews.” ' Blank Cartridge Kills Bn Times Special JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind., July 9. —James McCoy, 8, is dead here of a wound inflicted when a blank cartridge was thrown into a bonfire.

HIGH COURT’S BOOZE RULE FREES THREE

The new Indiana Supreme Court ruling that search warrants based upon mere belief that the liquor laws are being violated are invalid was applied in Municipal Court Friday for the first time. Asa result, Indianapolis police lost three cases in which they actually had discovered liquor upon raided premises. Special Judge Frank A. Symmes dismissed the three cases, declaring: “Under the Wallace decision in the Indiana Supreme Court officers must be armed with, specific facts and actual knowledge that liquor is on the premises.” Symmes also called attention to the fact that Federal law permits arrests in private dwellings only when an actual liquor sale has been made. Meanwhile, Marion county prosecutors were attempting to draft a search warrant which will “hold water” under the new ruling. Cases which the police lost today because of the new ruling: Mrs. Laura Berg, 522 Jones St., arrested June 28. George Mydland, 943 N. Sherman Dr., arrested June 8. Mrs. Julia Stewart, 3023 Boulevard PL, arrested June 6. Floyd Gaines, Negro, 2531 Shriver Ave., was found guilty by Judge Symmes and fined SIOO and sentenced to thirty days because liquor was found at his place by police, who held not only a search warrant, but also a warrant for his arrest. Prosecutors are anxious to start prosecutions under the new search
