REASON FOR REJOICING
Jews throughout the country also found cause for rejoicing in a rebuke issued to racial prejudice in Pennsylvania, where Representative Louis T. McFadden, openly anti-Semitic Republican, was defeated in his appeal for reelection. He was beaten by a New Deal Democrat, C.

Numerous Jewish allies of the New Deal were returned or newly elected to Congress in several states. One of these was Representative Adolph J. Sabath of Illinois, who will return to Washington for his fifteenth consecutive term.
