of Charles A. Lindbergh" indicated
Monday that the public criticism
voiced by some Jewish leaders
over part of the contents of the
yet unpublished book might serve
to stimulate sales.
Mrs. Hilda Lindley, director of
public relations for Carcourt Brace
Jovanovich, told the JTA that the
firm knew that the Lindbergh
Journals would be controversial
when it decided to publish them.
She would not comment on Jew-
ish reaction but said that generally
in the publishing world, the more
a book is talked about the greater
the interest which is reflected in
advance sales.
The Lindbergh book will be pub-
lished here Sept. 30. Portions
quoted from it in the New York
Times Sunday aroused sharply
critical responses from officials of
such organizations as the Ameri-
can Jewish Congress, Bnai Brith
Anti-Defamation League and the
Central Conference of American
Rabbis.
Br. John Slawson, former exe-
cutive director of the American
Jewish Committee, said "It is in-
conceivable to me how any per-
son, be he the greatest of avia-
tors, can be responsible for such
senseless and preposterous utter-
ances and still consider himself
a member of the civilized family
of man."
Dr. Slawson and the other Jew-
ish spokesmen referred to Col.
Lindbergh's assertion that, in the
perspective of the past 30 years,
the United States lost World War
II and never should have gotten
into it. The famed flyer contended,
in his journals, that "Much of our
Western culture was destroyed"
through the loss of the war of the
genetic heredity formed "through
eons of many million lives."
Will Maslow, executive director
of the AJCongress characterized
that opinion as "charitable gibber-
ish" that "makes no scientific
sense whatsoever." But "it does
make clear that Mr. Lindbergh still
believes in the Nazi philosophy of
racial superiority," Maslow said.
Seymour Graubard, national
chairman of the ADL, said it was
"frightening" that after a quarter
of a century Lindbergh still "ac-
cepts some of the most heinous of
Nazi racial theories, else how
could he prattle about our having
lost our genetic heredity."
Col. Lindbergh, the "Lone
Eagle," whose solo flight from
New York to Paris in 1927 made
him an international hero, was
strongly isolationist during the
years immediately prior to World
War II. After visiting Nazi Ger-
many and inspecting Goering's
Luftwaffe, he went on public speak-
ing tours urging the U. S. to stay
aloof from the war at a time when
Hitler's forces had overrun France
and were threatening to invade
Britain.
Lindbergh
In his journals,
maintained that the Roosevelt ad-
ministration, pro-British e le -
ments and American Jews forced
the U. S. into World War IL In
a speech he made in Des Moines
on Sept. 11, 1941, at an "America
First" rally, Lindbergh said, "It
is not difficult to understand why
Jewish people desire the over•
throw of Nazi Germany. The
persecution they suffered in Ger-
many would be sufficient to
make bitter enemies of any race.
"No person with a sense of the
dignity of mankind can condone the
persecution the Jewish race suf-
fered in Germany. But no person
of honesty and vision can look on
their pro-war policy here today
without seeing the dangers in-
volved in such a policy both for
us and for them."
Dr. Slawson observed in a state-
ment issued Sunday that if the
U. S. had not entered World War
II, the Nazis would have gotten
control of the atomic bomb and
"there would have been no Western
civilization to worry about."
Rabbi Roland B. Gittelsohn,
president of the CCAR, the Re-
form rabbinical organization, as-
serted that American Jews "need
not apologize to be among the first
to call the world's attention to the
inescapable moral issue which
compelled our nation to join forces
against Hitler."
