Dioolbl I take to the Board of Aldermen at its meeting next Tuesday "anything they want," he said today, in the way of records and reports of the "anti-Semitic" broadcast over WNYC, the municipal station, last I Saturday night. I Since the board, in a resolution adopted yesterday condemning the proceedings as spreading "anti-Se-1 mitism and racial hatred over a national hookup," called on the com-! rr.issioner to produce the transcripts oi all speeches, it appeared as if a second performance of the radio! broadcast would be given in the aldermanic chambers. Dr. Lalhrup Denies Charge Mr. Kracke was inclined to think that the charges of spreading anti-Semitism and racial hatred were unjustified, but begged off any for-j mal comment until later in the day in order to have an opportunity to examine the transcripts.

Mean- hile, the Rev. Dr. John Howland Lsthrop of the Church of the Sa-! viour on Monroe Place, a leading i liberal Brooklyn clergyman, who was a speaker at the broadcast, denied the aldermanic charges. The so called ami Semitic speeches were broadcast by the city station from a dinner celebration at the Town Hall Club, Manhattan, by I the Arab National League of 303 5th Manhattan, in honor of Aimeen Rihani, poet and author. The Board of Aldermen, in a resolu- tion introduced by Alderman Sam- i son In.selbuch.

Brooklyn Republican, condemned the proceedings as "political propaganda" as well as racial hatred. Zionist Question, He Says However, Dr. Lathrop said today: "I should say it was nothing of the sort, not anti-Semitic nor anti-racial. The question that came up was one that divides the Jews themselves, the Zionist Jews and the non-Zionists. As a matter of fact, some fine things were said about the Jews.

There are two views among the Jews. The Zionists believe the Jews should have a political home in Palestine and the others do not believe in such a political home. The Arabs really side with that second view, and that is the view that was expressed. "Those among the Jews who hold that latter view are Just as fine a set of citizens as the others. Rabbi Alexander Lyons of Brooklyn, for example, is one of them.

I am myself ardently opposed to anti-Somitism in any form." Mr. Kracke later issued the following statement; "WNYC lias broadcast the events from Town Hall from time to time. During the past season this has been on an average of once a week. When lie dinner to Mr. Rihani was announced as taking place at Town Hall, the station made arrangements to broadcast this talk.

Mr. Rihani had Just completed a lecture tour of the United Stales under the auspices of the Institute of International Education, and the statior has on many previous occasions programmed speakers from the institute. "The program included Prof. W. E.

Hocking, head of the department of philosophy of Harvard University, and the Hon. Farli Malouf. Street Commissioner of the City of Boston, Mass. The Station's Policy "In conformance with the station's policy of presenting all sides of pub-lie questions, arrangements were marie more than a week ago to have other speakers present another viewpoint of the same question. Later Dr.

Stephen president of the Zionist Organization of America: Lewis Lipsky, Dr. Hillael Silver and Charles Russell were scheduled to present their views on Friday, June 11. at 7 pm. "In this particular instance the of the first two speakers were passed upon by the director of the program division of WNYC. a university graduate himself, and a strict orthodox Jew.

"Therefore, this matter did not rome to my attention until after the program had gone on the air. "Of course, the Aldermen can have all the information have in this matter." Arab Chief Givei View Dr. P. I. Fhatara of 153 Clinton president of the Arab League, similarly said that his organization was not against the Jewish race, but "we spoke against political Zionism, which we believe to be very unfair to the Arabs, But we did not say anything against the Jews." When somebody In the audience at one point shouted: "Down with the Jews!" he was booed, he said.

Dr. Alexander Lyons of the Eighth Avenue Temple said: "America must be kept free from any injections Into its life of thse elements of opposition which has worked such terrible tragedy abroad. America must be maintained as a home of fair play and friendly fellowship for ourselves and as an example to the rest of the world. Would Bar Partisan Issues "I am confident that the men who are sponsors of the municipal broadcasting system and other broadcasting companies are not favorable to anti-Semitic propaganda or of any form of hateful antagonism. "And yet they mast be cautious against allowing use of all broadcasting stations for political, partisan or other purposes which, by Implication, carry national, racial or denominational antagonism." Dr.

Anna W. Hochlelder, president of the Brooklyn Women's division of the American Jewish Congress, with a membership here of 1.500 said: No station, especially a municipal plant, should be permitted to broadcast the doctrine of Intolerance and anti-American mntertnl In this rountrv It Just doesn't belong In a free land."
