SMITH PROTESTS NEWSPAPER
REPORT HE ATTACKED JEWS

Coughlin Defender, in Letter Addressed to Publisher Knight, ,
Accuses Free Press of Libel

Gerald L. K. Smith, who defended Father Coughlin
last Friday night in an address to 1,000 of his followers
in the Maccabees Auditorium, protested vigorously on
Monday that he is not anti-Semitic.
Mr. Smith took exception to a report in the Detroit
Free Press on Saturday by Ralph Goll, who reported the

meeting and who interpreted
Mr. Smith's attitude as being that
"Reds and Jews are trying to
jail the Rev. Father Charles E.
Coughlin."
"This is an absolute fabrica-
tion," Smith wrote in a letter to
John S. Knight, publisher of the
Free Press, a copy of which was
sent to The Jewish News. His
letter to the Free Press stated:
"At no time during my address
did I even use the word 'Jew.'
Neither did I intimate by in-
nuendo that I had in mind the
word 'Jew.' Even the Coughlin
issue was approached from the

I not mention the world `Jew' dur-

ing my entire address.
"Such fabrications and such
libelous statements do a great
injustice to my people, as well as

the Jews. -
"I have been on the radio near-
ly four years. I now edit a maga-

zine. I have mailed out literally
millions of circulars. Not once
have I ever raised the Jewish
issue or uttered or written an
anti-Semitic sentence."
According to an authoritative
report, Mr. Smith in his address
to his followers last Friday, re-
standpoint of freedom of the ferred to "Christ-killers" and
press. I can furnish you 100 affi- "Communists." He proposed con-

davits to the effect that I did vening a large rally in the Olym-
pia with Coughlin as speaker, a
plea which his audience appar-
ently approved.

CHILDREN'S

C O RNER

Next Tuesday we will celebrate one of the minor
holidays. It is known as Lag b'Omer, and is sometimes
referred to as the Scholar's Festival.
Here is how the holiday had its origin : A terrible
plague raged in Palestine, and we are told that on this
day, the thirty-third day of the period of the counting of
the Omer, which starts on the second night of Passover,
the prayers of the pupils of the venerable Rabbi Akiba put
an end to the sufferings of the students. Therefore, the
holiday was named the Scholar's Festival.
A portion of this column is devoted to the question of
Hebrew studies, in honor of the Lag b'Omer Festival.
I hope you will all try to enjoy next Tuesday in the
spirit of Lag b'Omer.
UNCLE DANIEL.

WHY STUDY HEBREW?

Lag b'Omer is an ideal time
to ask: Why study Hebrew. I
A number of children in the 1
Winterhalter branch of the
United Hebrew Schools were
asked this question, and some
gave their answers. Mr. Bernard
Isaacs, the superintendent of the
Hebrew Schools, was kind
enough to send me some of these
answers. Here are excerpts of
what some of the boys and girls
wrote in answer to this question
why they study Hebrew:
Irving Goren, age 10: "Hebrew
is our language. It makes me
happier to know Hebrew. It's so
much fun to read when you
know what the words mean. We

also need Hebrew for Bar-Mit-
zvah."
Ruth Schwartz, age 10: "I like
to go to Hebrew because I am
a Jew and want to know more
about it. You can get extra credit
for Hebrew in college. I would
like to know all the stories of
Jewish life. I am proud I can go
to Hebrew, for children in Ger-
many cannot."
Marion Sanders, age 9: "It is
nice to discuss the history of the
Jewish. people."
Charlottee Friedman, age 10:
‘`. . . . because we can learn the
customs and ceremonies of the
Jewish people."
Everard Taylor, age 9: "It is
son why a "Congress in Minia- nice to be with Jewish boys and
ture" should not be held on girls."

been demanded by European
members of the Zionist Actions
Committee who came to this
