...Louis last week Jewish reaction to the Taylor appointment wrecked the local branch of the best U. S. good-will agency, the National Conference of Christians and Jews. One of the founders of the St. Louis "Round Table" of the N. C. C. J. is Rabbi Ferdinand Myron Isserman, a big, sometimes brash Jewish liberal. Dr. Isserman's Temple Israel is across the way, on "Holy Corner," from two big Protestant churches, St. John's Methodist and Second Baptist. "Brotherhoods" of the three meet jointly. Last fortnight, at a Brotherhood meeting, Rabbi Isserman joined the two Protestant pastors...
...Rabbi Isserman denied that he had used these particular words, but the damage was done. The five Catholic board members of the Round Table resigned at once. Said the angriest of them, Surgeon R. Emmet Kane: "It has been very difficult to stimulate enthusiasm among the Catholics of St. Louis for the Round Table. . . . Rabbi Isserman has torn down everything we have been striving for." Thereupon Rabbi Isserman resigned, too, asked the others to reconsider. At week's end,, none...
...long as two pennies are ours, one of them belongs to the poor." He has let relief needs supersede those of his Cathedral, partly destroyed by fire in 1935, and still not completely repaired. Apparently as anti-Coughlinite as Cardinal Mundelein was, last autumn he wrote a Milwaukee rabbi denouncing those who "gain and hold a popular audience, degrade themselves and abuse the trust reposed in them by misquoting, half-quoting, and actually insinuating half-truths."

Thirteen months ago, when Rev. Charles Edward Coughlin was radiorating about the Jews, something happened which profoundly annoyed him. Detroit's respected Rabbi Leo M. Franklin, good friend of Henry Ford (who was once publicly anti-Semitic), visited Mr. Ford, induced him to issue a statement, which the Rabbi had written, sympathizing with the Jews. The Detroit Free Press front-paged the statement. Father Coughlin leaped to his microphone, charged that the Free Press had "venally" made it appear that the statement was written by Mr. Ford. The Free Press in another front-page statement retorted that "Father Coughlin...
...Does Rabbi Witt intend to maintain that Christmas is just a pagan thing which needs syncretism with Judaism for pur poses of spiritualization? I think that Christianity will bitterly resent the gratuitous inference. . . . Dr. Witt pursues his blundering and ill-considered way by gratuitously unitarianizing most of Christendom [i.e., by remarking that Christians no longer believe Jesus divine]. As a Jew, I unqualifiedly condemn Rabbi Witt for this affront. . . . The truly devout Christian of whatever denomination has far more respect for the Jew who, conscientious to his own religious loyalties, does not observe Christmas, than for the Witt type...
