V.. is culled by Louis Marshall, pr-sident of the American Jcwb.li committee, eith er to resign or apologize publicly for what he terms an "unspeak able calumny" against the Jewish ' rine. Mr. Marsha II. through the Jew ish Telegraph agency, made public a letter to Mayor W. illbert i I awes in which he charged that on Sept. 22, two days before Yom Kippur, the mayor "arranged" for the interrogation of a rabbi in t Massena by a state trouper after : the'- dl-appearance of 4 -year-old Itarbaru Oriff ith "on the intoler able HKKumptfon that the Jews re quired the blood nf Christian chil dren fur their holy days." The child later was found un harmed in a woods near her home where she explained she had strayed. The letter demanded that Mayor 11 awes make an immediate and i public written apology to the Jew ish people "for this wanton attack upon their religion unit uton their honor and for the abuse of your official position in encouraging the i circulation of this unspeakable 'calumny." The b tter demanded also that as further evidence of regret he ; should resign from office. Unless 'one or the other of these two I courseH are pursued Mr. Marshall ; said, he would Institute proceed ings for Alayor Hnwes' removal from office on the ground of offi cial misconduct.

Old Jewish docu ments ii nd' books of the seven teenth nnd eighteenth centuries in which the charge of ritual murders was made were Introduced as evi dence in the trial. Iteills was acquitted. BANDITS HOLD UP TAKE MY $600 ( N K W YOUK, Oct. n. )--Mae ; West, actress nnd author, who served 10 days in jail last year for ; taking part In an indecent per , fonnaiice, was again arrested Tues j day after police raided the Hroad i way premiere of her latest play, "Pleasure Man." Kitty-five men and women com 'prising the play's cast were loaded In patrol wagons at the close of the evening's performance and tak en to a police station a block away where after several hours they were released on bail. Miss. West, who is author of the piny but not a member of its cast, was arrested at another t heat re, where she is starring In "Diamond Ml." She posted J'.Oo hail for a hearing. AH were charged with producing or taking pnrt in an in-de.-ent performance. The raid caused considerable ex citement anions the crowded Kroad wuy throngs. Traffic was jammed nnd cheers, boos and hisses greeted the performers on their short ride. Police In Audience Acting on reports from suburban (owns, where the play was given preliminary showings, the police department had a half dozen offi cials in the audience. At 10: Ku o'clock, while the play was still In progress, a signal was given to a score of plain clothes men stationed outside and nil exits were placed under guard. Patrons, however, were unaw.irr? of the police activity until they began to leave the theatre. No ef fort was made to Interfere with them, but at the conclusion of the show the entire cast was confined hack stage to await patrol wagons. Audiences from nearby t heat res also were leaving at the same time and the streets soon were packed with humanity. The crowd became so dense that police reserves were called out to open the street to traffic. Miss West, after being taken Into custody at her- theatre, was de tained at the police station several hours. After a statement hy her had been taken down hy a police sleinvrnpher she was released un der ball furnished by n professional bondsman.
