Bombers Sought In I Los Angeles Scare   i;
LOS ANGELEJS, (JTA) -^ Police authorities here were continuing : jj their efforts to determine the origin ot two bombings that occurred || last week against the homes of two Christian ministers who were addressing a meeting held by a chapter of the American Jewish Congress here. The meeting, at Temple Sinai, had been called to dis¬ cuss "The Ejttreme Right — a Threat to Democracy?" Anti-Semitic leaflets were spread over the lawn facing the synagogue while the meeting was under way.
The bombs had damaged the homes of the two ministers, the Rev. John G. Simmons and the Rev. Brooks Walker, but no one was Injured. A third speaker at the meeting was film actress Mar¬ sha Hunt. According to Miss Hunt, crudely lettered posters, linking the United Nations emblem with the Star of Pavid and the Com¬ munist hammer-and-aiciUe sym¬ bol, were also scattered while the meeting was in progress. Miss Hunt is president of the San Fer¬ nando chapter of the American Association for the United Na¬ tions.
Police here said that only tiny parts from the bombs used have thus far furnished any clue to the perpetrators ot the bombing. The homes of the two ministers as well as of Miss Hunt were being guarded. Police Inspector Edward Walker said he wtis not certain whether the bombing had been done by followers of right-wing groups or by Communists. Spokes¬ men for both .the Communist Party and the John Birch Society denied any of their followers were involved.
A statement issued in New York by Dr. Joachim Prinz, national president of the American Jewish Congress, said the bombings marked  "an ominous,  new phas«
in the campaign of the extreme right wing to destroy the liberties of the American people." He blamed "fanatics of the Right" tor the bombings, declaring: "By their resort to violence, they have sought to silence all those Ameri¬ cans who would defend the rlghti and free^Joms which are everv citizen's birthright In this country The anti-Semitic leaflets sprev-'l on the lawn ot the synagogue where the meeting took place ad i an ugly footnote to the story.
"If there was any  doubt thxt the   extreme Right  Wing  repn'- sented a clear and present dang'-'' to the moral and political heailh of our nation, all such doubt h.i' . been   removed.  For  In  the  bis.st ' that wrecked the two clergymen'.', homes and Just failed to kill thei- wives  and  children,  the  fanatli ¦•, of  the Right  served   notice  th.ii they have abandoned more slan- | der and defamation and now em- | ploy   naked   terror   to   still   tli'" voices of those who would oppo"-' them."
