PAGE THREE ST Priest Charges Censorship Result of Jewish Owner ship 'Showed Very Poor Intelligence,' He Says NEW YORK, Nov. 28. (UP) Lewis Strauss, a partner In Kuhn. Loeb and company, last night Issued the following statement In connec tion with the Rev. Charles E. Cougn- lln's charge In a radio speech that the banking firm was concerned In financing the Russian revolution: "Until now my firm has refrained from commenting on the Irrespon sible utterances of Father Coughlln, which he has today repeated. Inas much as he has now attacked my deceased partners who cannot defend their good names against his allega tions, I wish to state the charges and Inferences he makes as to the support of communism by my firm are absolutely untrue." DETROIT, Nov. 27. (UP) Father Charles E. Coughlln said last night that three radio stations failed to carry his weekly sermon Sunday and In so doing "showed very poor In telligence." Station WJJD, Chicago. WIND, Gary, Ind., and WMCA, New York, did not carry the address, In which he reiterated the views he pronounc ed a week ago last Sunday. A storm of protest from Jewish leaders and others followed Isst week's speech. Father 'Coughlln said the reason the stations did not carry his talk today was "because they are Jewish owned stations." Tactics Cause Misery They showed very poor Intelli gence." he said. "Such tactlca are the cause for such misery suffered by the little Jews throughout the world down through the ages. These men only stir up animosity." Officials said they believed 43 sta tions carried Coughlln'a speech Sun day. The complete network numbers 46 stations. Following his address a week ago Sunday, station WMCA charged that the priest had uttered "mistakes or fsct." Later the station said It would not carry Sunday's sermon unless provided with a copy of the talk at least 48 hours In advance. A week ago Sunday Father Cough lln named Jews as leaders of com munism In Russia and In Germany before Adolf Hitler's regime. He said last night that he would pursue this theme further In next week's address. Attacks developing since the first talk, Father Coughlln said, accused him of a "most un-Americsn speech, of defense of nazllsm and the nazl pogrom, of being a sadist, and of gross errors In fact. OF COURSE you know Bill Jones YOU know Bill Jones and Jim Smith Eddie Brown and Pete Doakes, the lads who look after the Standard Station down at the corner. You may not know their names, but you do know the manner of men they are. When there's a job to do they do it cheerfully, thoroughly. That's why you like them. We know you do like them because everybody likes them. Such Bills and Jims, Eddies and Petes, man all our stations. They realize that every detail in serving your car is a respon sibility not just another task. . And they meet such responsibil ities in the knowledge that they are our "front men." ' www They appreciate the fart that everybody else in a great or ganization from an oil-field roustabout to president de pends upon them to maintain the Company's standing with the public They know that thousands upon thousands of motorists trust them implicitly. www These things as well as a policy of fairness and promo tion account for their morale. That's why it's common sense, even when selecting a rest room, to look for the sign that assures cleanliness because cleanliness definitely is a part of their re sponsibility to the public.

Dies told reporter the committee was not Interested In obtaining testimony from Ovpsy Rose Lee, former bur lesque star, who had offered to "bare all" about communist activities in Hollywood. He said the committee bad asked several persons from the coast , to testify In a few days in cluding Detective Capt. John J. Kee gan of Portland. Ore. It waa under stood Keegan'a testimony would con cern Harry Bridges, west coast C I.O. leader. Baron suggested at one point com mitteemen scrutinize the articles of communist Heywood Broun in the press for the last two yws, "Heywood Broun, you'll find, he said, "haa criticized and attacked practically every political section In public life. Including President Roosevelt, but X say you won't find one written word In which he crltl clEea or disagrees with the funda mental tenets of the communist party." To Ask More Coin Die said he would ask the new house to give his committee $200,000 to continue Its investigations for two years. The committee originally received i $25,000, and Dies had said It would be unable to study numerous phases of Its subject unless additional funds are provided. He made public a letter asking Secretary of State Hull to request Justice department prosecution of the communist party, the German- American bund and other groups for alleged violation of the law requir ing agents of foreign principals to register here. Undersecretary Welles of the state department said Dies' request had not been received, but would be given full consideration when It did appear. Dies Aiding Reds Earl Browder. general secretary of the communist party In the United States, described Dies in an Inter view here yesterday as the commu nist's best recruiting agent, declar ing his committee had given the party "$9,500,000 worth of free publicity." Later, In an address commemorat ing the Soviet Union's 21st anni versary, Browder advocated a Wash ington-Moscow axis to offset the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo pact. Touching on the United States' defense pro gram, he said communists, t..uough traditionally opposed to armaments, would support the program "if It Is used to stop fascism. "Admittedly." he said. '1 did at-1 tack and will continue to attack ' Atheistic Jews and Atheistic Gentiles. ! But I will prove actually I Invited and still invite the non-communist, non-atheistic Jews, whom I respect and with whom I deeply sympathize, to Join me in combatting communism." Father Coughlln said the trans cription of his first address would prove the charges were "gross mis representations of fact." I will prove," he said, "that I did not defend nazllsm but condemned it vigorously. I will prove that I con demned the nazl pogrom." The priest attacked specifically- the Detroit Times, the Communist Dally Workers and the Detroit Jewish Chronicle. After running the transcription of the discussed portion of the previous Sunday's discourse. Father Coughlln offered proof of his statement that Kuhn, Loeb & company of New York contributed to the Russian revolu tion. He quoted "The Mystical Body of Christ in the Modern World," by Prof. Denis Fohey, of Dublin, Ire land. Quoting the book of Professor Pahey. he said: Says Proof Indisputable "The chief document treating of the financing of the Russia revolu tion is the one drawn up by the American secret service. It was found that the following persons were en gaged in this work of destruction (the revolution): Jacob Schlff, Gug genheim. Kuhn, Loeb Ac company, of which the following are the direc tors: Jacob Schlff, Felix Warburg, Otto Kahn, Mortimer Schlff and S. H. Hanauer. There can be no doubt the Rus sian revolution . . . was launched and fomented by Jewish Influence." Father Coughlln said this proof, a report of the secret service, was Indisputable. "Is It a pack of lies?" he asked "If It Is un-American to bestir sym pathy for persecuted Christians, then I must plead guilty. If I am an ad vocate of nazllsm when I decry both communism and nazllsm, then I plead guilty." Quoting a newspaper account of the American Jewish congress In New York last October, which said a proposal for a stand against com munism was shouted down. Father Coiitfhlln said: "There la evidence Jewry la silent on communism and is reluctant to oppose It. There Is the question o so-called anti-Semitism which is really anti-communism. If Jews per sist in supporting communism Vll rectly or Indirectly, that will he re gretable. By their failure to flaht eommun Ism as vl gorousl y as they flsht nazllsm. they Invite the charge of being supporters of communism." i! I0LD NEW SOLON LEADER Rep.
