Frame-Up Charged by Asa.;
Threatens to Sue Forward

NEW YORK (JPS)—Sholem
Asch, Yiddish novelist, author of
"The Nazarene" and- "The Apos-
tle," announced that he would
bring suit against the Jewish
Daily Forward, a newspaper with
which he was connected for
many years, because it has
charged, he claims, "that accord-
ing to an interview in the Chris-
tian. Herald, which I didn't see
before publication, I have ac-
cepted the Christian conception
of the Holy Trinity, which means
I left the faith of Israel and the
one living God, and have ac-
cepted the Christian faith."
He declared that he advised
his publisher to take the neces-
sary steps to bring this case to
court in order to expose what
he describes as a "bloody frame-

up" against a Jew "who devoted
all his life to the Jewish cause."
Asch stresses that "in all my
writings, in all my interviews,
with the most important Chris-
tian religious leaders, I have in-
sisted on the principle of Juda-
ism as the only living God of
Israel."
In a telegram to the editor of
the Christian Herald, Asch stated
that the magazine incorrectly
had quoted him as having said
that he accepted Jesus "both as
the Son of God and the Son of
man." He "never mentioned the
words 'the Son of God'," he in-
sists. "The expression, the Son
of God on Jesus, is not in accord-
ance with my conception of Je-
sus. My conception is still Shma-
Yisroel."
