Veiled Mothers Fail In Attempt To Inject Bias Into Bill Hearing By Jcwigh Telegraphic Agency WASHINGTON — An abortive attempt to inject anti-Semitism into Senate consideration of the Lend-Lease Bill was broken up when capitol police ejected Miss Mynnie Fisher of Milwaukee and several other members of the group of 250 describing themselves as “the veiled mothers” from the Capitol Building. Previous to their ejection, a sizeable group of representatives of the protest delegation crowded into the Senate lobby bearing American flags. They heckled Senator Pepper of Florida and other senators with cries of “Why do you let Sol Bloom and his henchmen send our boys to war?” While the leaders of two organizations, the Mothers’ Crusade headed by Mrs. Elizabeth Dilling of Chicago and the Mothers’ Mobilizing Against War headed by Miss Fisher, said the presence of the 250 women here was in the nature of a spontaneous protest, members of the rank and file were frank in admitting that the “crusade” had been organized by Father Charles E. Coughlin and Chas. E. Hudson of Omaha, a well-known anti-Semitic pamphleteer. The organizations’ headquarters at the Plaza Hotel here has been a distribution point for much antiSemitic literature, including that authorized by Hudson. Most of the pamphlets and books being distributed at the headquarters dwell on the theme of “international Jewry’s responsibility for the war.”
