Officials Probe
Center Bombing
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., (JTA) —Secret investigations in
to the recent bombings of synagogues, Jewish centers and
Negro schools are being conducted by an agency formed
following the conference here last week of mayors and police
officials of 29 cities in the South, it was disclosed this week.
Capt. H. W. Branch, of the
Jacksonville Police Depart
ment, who heads the new
agency, said that he has in
formation leading him to be
lieve that one person, or one
organization, is responsible
for the 47 separate bombings
and bombing attempts in the
South since last year.
THE COUNCIL of the
American Jewish Congress in
South Florida published a
statement calling for wide
public support of a House of
Representatives bill that
would make it a Federal
crime to possess or transport
dynamite or other explosives
in violation of any state law.
The bill, introduced by Rep.
J. Carlton Loser of Tennes
see, grew out of the recent
unsolved bombings in Jack
sonville, Miami and other
Southern cities.
The measure is now before
the House Judiciary Commit
tee. Enactment of the bill
into law would permit the
Federal Bureau of Investiga
tion to enter into all cases in
which explosives are used un
lawfully.
WASHINGTON, (JTA)
Sen. Clifford P. Case, New
Jersey Republican, announc
ed that he has written the
26 Iyar 5718
Attorney General to ask an
FBI investigation of recent
bombings in the South which
included attempts to blow up
synagogues.
According to Sen. Case, an
announcement of FBI partici
pation would immeasurably
strengthen efforts of South
ern civic leaders and local
police officials in their drive
against terrorism.
