S. Department of Justice Carpe &4 Dear Mr. Hoover: as well as ER, one of the Wk ere irom Detroit, Michigan, reputed to be members of the ~ re I unintentionally failed to include in wy 1 ro ‘tember 30th information that was given to Special Agent d me confidentially by LOU WERTHEIMER to the effect t P Jewish people in Los Angeles have recently banded together for-the purpose of opposing Anti-Semetic movements and propaganda. Mr. WERT- | HEIVER stated that he was not at liberty to make any further state— ments about this Jewish organization except that he said he, a fer _£_ evenings prior to our visit with him, had attended one of the meetings of this group. Mr. WERTHEIMER stated that at this particular meeting - 1c much was made of the wealness of Jewish people to help the followers - © of their faith, even though some of these followers were law violators. | Mr. WERTHEIMER apparently was prompted to make these re- marks because of his disappointment in t of .the thirty or forty photographs shown to him by Agent nd me of subject LOUIS. BUCHALTER and his associates, practically all of the photographs are - of Jewish individuals, WERTHE » When commenting about that, also said thet he, himself, is a full-blooded Jew, saying also that when he had given serious consideration to LER and his anti-Semetic acti- vities, it has occurred to him that! possibly there is some real basis for HITLER'S ectivities.

It was then that he mentioned that the Jewish pedple had perhaps too frequently helped their fellow men even though gome of the latter were law violators or individuals not RECORDED & INDEXED Under date of September 30, 1936 I directed a personal (bX Re Sa, ae na nh game Sse mo Di an a. aeeeee eeeeae My, ForWovth ....... | Mr Bis ef8 ec: My.
