CRYSTAL BEACH, Canada^TfaX?— Outbreaks between Jews and ^hfcfi ha«T ftecome virtually an
anti-Semites in this summer resort have resulted in property damage
and several arrests, Chief of Police Floyd Gerrard announced.
Chief Gerrard said thr.‘ the violence was a result of racial propa
ganda spread by anti-Semitic factions. On Tursday evening of last
week, he said, a crowd ol at least 3,000 people was attempting to con
gregate at main intersections of this village, apparently anticipating
some sort of action. Violence was avoided by keeping the crowds in
motion, and refusing to allow the troublemakers to assemble. A simi
lar situation exisited on Friday and until about two o’clock on Satur
day morning, when one man was arrested on the charge of resisting
an officer.
Early this week, however, plate glass windows of a Jewish-owned
store and a hotel were kicked in and the place invaded by a mob of
men and boys from the late ’teens to about 30 and 35 years. Shelves
were wrecked and demonstrators danced on the counters. Jewish
youths at the resort offered considerable resistance to the holligans,
but were outnumbered, the police chief stated-
