Friday, October 12, 1919 21 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS `Shadow Presidents' Documents Attitudes (Continued from Page 20) ers and assistants, Medved relates, included many in- teresting characters. Among them was William Loeb J., assistant secretary to President Theodore Roosevelt. Loeb's relationship with Roosevelt began on the af- ternoon following Roosevelt's inauguration as governor of New York in 1899. Loeb was the only stenographer who could keep up with Roosevelt's atic energy and staccato u, livery. To Loeb," (writes Medved), "Roosevelt be- came the 'best friend I have or expect to have,' while TR, near the end of his presidency, publicly de- scribed Loeb as `the man who has been closest to me politically.' "The evidence strongly suggests that Loeb was Jewish and . . . most of his contemporaries made that assumption. Loeb was ashamed of his background and did his best to obscure it." One of the rumors that made the rounds in New York City for years was that Loeb had been denied ad- mission to the Union THEODORE ROOSEVELT League Club because of his Semitic heritage and that Theodore Roosevelt even- tually resigned his own membership in protest. It hardly mattered that Loeb as a young man had joined the Episcopal Church, that his only child was baptized an Episcopa- lian and that when Loeb died, he received an Epis- copal funeral. In the eyes of a bigot, a Jew remains a Jew. Years after Loeb's death, his son, a prominent New Hampshire newspaper pub- lisher, was still answering anti-Semitic slurs . . . De- spite this attitude on the part of the Loeb family, the Daughter Glorifies Zionist Activist Panush's Moustache A Zionist activist has a moustache that served as an inspiration for his daugh- ter. Naomi Panush Salus never knew her father other than with a moustache. Neither did her mother. That created her enthusiasm for a brief chil- dren's story, "My Daddy's Moustache" (Holt, Rinehart and Winston). The story can be read in less than five minutes. Add- ing to the charm it has for youngsters are the illustra- tions, the work of Tomie de- Paola. Ndomi Panush Salus, a native Detroiter, the youngest of the four daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Panush, is an honor graduate of the University of Michigan. She studied law at American University in Washington. She is now on the staff of the press office of the board of gov- ernors of the Federal Re- serve System. *Her father is the former principal of Western High School in Detroit and active in the Zionist Organization of America — Detroit Dis- trict as chairman of its pub- lic affairs committee. prestigious 'Encyclopedia Judaica' lists William Loeb's service in the White House as an important ad- vance for American Jews." In his chapter on Ted Sorensen, Medved reveals the dramatic impact that one of John F. Kennedy's closest advisers had on the President's political life. According to Medved, Sorensen gave Kennedy one of the only assets he lacked: the power of words. Sorensen went to work for Kennedy as a "number two legislative assistant during Kennedy's freshman term in the House of Representa- tives. Their working rela- tionship lasted for the rest of Kennedy's life and for Sorensen it became an ob- session rather than a job. "I had given 11 years of my life to John Kennedy," Medved quotes Sorensen, "and for those 11 years he was the only human being who mattered to me." According to Medved, "There is little question that the lofty style of speak- ing and writing that becmae so firmly identified with JFK was more Sorensen's doing than Kennedy's." Sorensen, who co- authored the Pulitzer prize-winning "Profiles in Courage" with Ken- nedy, became the President's major speech writer. Medved traces Sorensen's Jewish background to his mother, Annis, who was the daughter of Russian Jewish immigrants and a leader in the woman's suffrage movement. Before writing this classic work on "The Shadow Presidents," Medved al- ready had a notable record of literary achievements, which began with his best- selling "What Really Hap- pened to the Class of 1965," and in Hollywood documen- taries.
