Father Charles E. Coughlin for
the past 15 months, appears with

"Why the Whitewash of the
Christian Front?" There is only

entirely to an analysis of the
trials.

Mrs. Mollie Hersh Dies at
the Age of 68

Mollie Hersh, wife of the late
Jacob Hersh, passed away on
Saturday morning, July 6, at
the age of 68. She was born in
Tokay, Hungary, and migrated to
the United States at the age of
seven. She is survived by her
son, Alfred, of Buffalo; her daugh-
ters, Mrs. Peter Vass, Mrs. Max
S. Grossfeld, Mrs. Frank Vass,
and Anna Rose Hersh; her broth-
ers, Jacob, Alfred, Samuel and
Harry Teller of Chicago; two sis-
ters, Mrs. Rose Cook of Chicago,
and Mrs. Manuel E. Kyte of Glen-
dale, Calif. and nine grandchil-
dren.
Funeral services were held on
Sunday afternoon at the late Mrs.
Hersh's residence, 2464 W. Suclid
Ave. Burial was in Clover Hill
Park Cemetery. Rabbis A. M.
Hershman and Moses Fischer and
Cantor S. Mogill officiated.

MRS. ROSE WETSMAN
General Manager, Goodwin's

There are few women general
managers of downtown stores, and
only one has achieved this distinc-
tion in Detroit. But Mrs. Rose
Wetsman's success embraces more
than recognition of her ability. It
is a story of gradual advance-
ment which resulted in her pres-
ent elevation to the position of
general manager of Goodwin's,
on Gratiot Ave.
Upon the death of her husband,
Samuel Wetsman, who was one
of the most prominent figures in
Detroit Jewry, having been an
organizer of the Hebrew Free
Loan Association and its treas-
urer for 25 years, Mrs. Wetsman,
seven years ago, secured a job
as saleslady at Goodwin's. She
commenced her sales career simul-
taneous with the opening of the
Goodwin store, which has since
risen to a position of leadership
in the community.
Step by step, Mrs. Wetsman

was elevated to higher position,
and recently her reward for help-
ing make Goodwin's a store of
friendly service came in the form
of her appointment as general
manager. She has also been given
charge of the personnel.
"I am proud that Goodwin's
is a friendly store to shop and to
work in," Mrs. Wetsman said.
"I am proud of our employees and
of the many years during which
most of us have been so closely
associated. I firmly believe my
success has been clue to the staff's
loyalty, and to the patronage and
recognition of my many friends—
all of which have been my in-
spiration. I have had great satis-
faction in making business my
career, and I am especially pleased
to be associated with Goodwin's
—a store for women conducted by
a woman."

Calling the Christian Front
trial a "farce," the article points
out that the "higher-ups" behind
the Christian Front were "scru-
pulously avoided" by the prose-
cution. In particular, the article
declares, the Federal Bureau of
Investigation ignored the role of
Father
i
Coughlin.
is butone of a doz.
en organizations," the article de-
clares, "that have supplied the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
with meticulously documented
evidence of behind the scenes
machinations, evidences running
into hundreds of pages, evidence
that supplied, without the slight-
est doubt, all the necessary links
between the string-puller s and
the puppets. Yet despite all the
undeniable evidence, G-Man J.
Edgar Hoover was at pains to
say, on the day after the 17 plot-
ters were apprehended, that he
understood that the Reverend
Charles E. Coughlin had no con-
nection with the Christian Front."
Predicting a renewal of the
Christian Front drive in the coo-
ing weeks, the article adds:
"This, then, is what we can
now expect—a terrifying cam-
paign of Jew-baiting. Again—
the stabbings, the brawls, the
subway demonstrations, the gar-
bage-fed propaganda, the street
corner demagogues with their
black-jack toting bodyguards and
strong-arm men. The obstacles
have now been removed."
The article also points out that
prospective jurors for the Chris-
tian Front trial were not asked
whether they were followers of
Father Coughlin, whether they
were members of the Christian
Front, or whether they had con-
tributed to the defense fund for
the defendants.
"It is conceivable then," it
comments, "that some members
of the jury may have been mem-
bers of the Christian Front, The
prosecution never bothered ask-
ing."
The magazine lists five previ-
ously announced inquiries into
the Christian Front and asks,
"What has happened to these in-
vestigations?" T h e inquiries,
which Equality charges have
been allowed to peter out, are:
(1) Attorney General Jackson's
investigation through the Crim-
inal Division of the Department
of Justice; (2) A reported Dies
Committee investigation; (3) Po-
ice Commissioner Valentine l s
probe of the New York City po-
lice force; (4) Governor Leh :
man's promised investigation of
the National Guard; (5) The
reports gathered for Mayor La-
Guardia by his assistant, Byrnes
MacDonald.
Equality was the first publi-
cation in the country to carry a
complete expose of the Christian
Front. Its articles on Coughlin's
group revealed long before the
January FBI raid that the Chris-
tian Front had formed rifle units ,
known as "action committees.
A complete analysis of the Chris-
tian Front was contained in An
Open Letter to Archbishop Spell-
" which is a spupee.ared in the

Order Sons of Zion Thanks
The Chronicle

In Greater Germany and in war-torn Poland grief-stricken
mothers are praying that their children may be taken away from
them to some other land where they may never see them again but
where they will know that their children will face future hope
rather than misery and starvation.
Despite the present conflict, emigration from the centers of
distress is continuing through the aid of funds raised by American
Jewry in behalf of the United Jewish Appeal for Refugees and
Overseas Needs. The Joint Distribution Committee provides trans-
portation to Palestine and North and South American countries and
other lands. The United Palestine Appeal helps settle the refugees
on the land in Palestine and provides them with opportunities for
retraining and rehabilitation as farmers and builders in the Jew-
ish National Home. The National Refugee Service, which is the
third constituent agency of the United Jewish Appeal, provides for
the integration and adjustment of refugees who come to the United
States to begin a new life in an atmosphere of freedom.

Editor, Detroit Jewish Chronicle:
I am pleased to inform you that
at the 31st annual convention of
the Order Sons of Zion, held
June 15-17, a resolution was un-
animously adopted extending the
thanks and appreciation of our
Order to you personally and to
your publication for the very con-
siderate and effective cooperation
given to us through the columns
of your valued publication.
Thanking you again for your
kind cooperation, which was of
inestimable value for our work,
I am,
Cordially yours,
JACOB I. STEINBERG,
Secretary.
