Gerhart Seger, distin.t^uislicd aviator during the war, was for years one of the leaders of thc German Social-Democratic P'arty in Germany. As iirst Labor leader ol I^-irlianient, lie was the youngest mem¬ ber when elected, and w.ls in tlie Reicll- stiig. during the 5tli, Cth, 7tli. .and 8th I'arlianicnts. One week after his fourth election, he was arrestixl by Hitler and put .in -solitary coiifinement for three months thcii ¦ removed to .the . concentra¬ tion camp at Oranicnburg, one ot the ter¬ ror spots of Germany.
After six months of brutal treatment at the hands of .the Naz.is, he had arrived,, he say.s in his book, at tile point-where hc had only twi'o alternatives—suicide bi*' escape. .,Vcry often the two were syh- otlynious; With only thirty, minutes start hc accomplished his, daring escape.
'Arrived in Czeciio-Slovakia, he wrote this thrilling, accpunt of his expericnces,- which when published in Europe sold a quarteri of a million copies. He went to, Paris, where he lectured to many groups, then to London',, where he was asked to speak before the British House of Com^ mons. Lady Astor and the otlier women members of the House interested them¬ selves in the freeing of his wife -and the three-year-old child , who were being held hostage by. Hitler.      ,    :

Turnout  for  Cantor
Pinchik May 17-18
"The, clamor to hear Cantor Pinchik sing has been , so .pronounced; since his- arrival, in America, that he is repeatedly forced to decline invitations to sing again in,a city where he has appeared before., and Golumbus is very fortunate in ob.- taining Cantor Pinchik at this time, espe¬ cially during the "Sefira'' days^
For those who know, it is enough to mention. - the fact that Cantor .Pinchik will count "Scfira" because it is during these services that Pinchik reaches the acme of singing perfection." He prays to tiie Lord of Hosts with a religious, fervor which seems unparthly, and hjs .listeners not only iieaf inspire^ praying, but divine singing as well- , '
It is, interesting to, note that quite a few Gentiles are impatiently awaiting ¦Cantor Pinchick'S appearance, as, they have heard; him before, and, would not forego the pleasure of heariiig him again at any cost, because as one music teaclier remarked: "Never have I witnessed any¬ thing as touching and inspirational as the singing of Hr. Pinchik—and I have at¬ tended, dozens of performances at . the ¦MetfopbIit^n arid at the concert halls, Not even the. great Caruso thrilled me with his singing as 'much as Mr. Pin- chick."
Cantor pinchik will condtict Sabbath Services " at^ the Broad , Street Temple, Friday and-.Saturday, May 17 and 18. with special evening services to be fol¬ lowed by a concert on Monday evening, May 20th. He will chant ."Sefira" on Friday and Monday nights before the conclusion of the "Mariv;"

ST. J.OUr.S;(WNS)—"As long as my,    ' voice is on the air, I shall fight, with all  ,;, the rJowcr at my comniand, any attempt    ' to cultivate ariti-Scmitism amoiig Amer¬ icans; I would not be a pric!;f ,if I were not to do so.   Aboutithis I give you my sqleiiin   promise."     This   wa.'j   tiic   statc- liict'it made liy Father Charles IC. Conigh- liiii   the  Detroit  radio  priest,  whose  al-., tacks ori Jewish bankers have been rc: 'garded asindicatiVc of,anti-Semitism, to ., / Rabbi I'"erdinaifd Isserman of St. Louis, who ivas the only Jewish speaker at the Detroit  rally  of   Father  Coughlin's  Na-   ' tionai Uiiirm for Sacialjustice.     '
In  a , statement  here' Uabbi   Isserman quoted  Earlier Coughlin as having told   , him   that   he' regretted, very,  much   that  ' Jews  had   interpreted  his  coridemnation of Bernard M. Baruch and international    ¦ bankers as an attack upon the Jews.   He . stated, according to Rabbi,Isserman, that   : because he had attacked Cardinal William O'Connell and Alfred E, Smith it does , not mean'that he .is anti-Catholic, and  ' . added that wicked men' arc found among' Jews, Catholics and Protestants and that   ', he intends to denounce theni all."   ' ; ¦;
Rabbi    Isserman  ;said'   tliat.   Father ¦ Coughlin asked-him ;   ."Vyiiy do not some : bf you rabbis.attack Baruch and men like..' hini ?   ,You wonldii'f dare attack a Cath¬ olic cardinal, even though he deserved it, but you should attack Jews in high places who menace the welfare of thq country." : P'athei-Coughlin also; asserted, according     , to the St^Louis rabbi, that Jews are top . sensitive and too jittery in. view bf what. has happened in Germany.    "Tell them for hie," he declared, "hot to be. so thin- s,kinned.   There is not the slightest danr. ger   of   any   anti-Semitic  mbvethent   in .America.    Jews, make'a mistake'iu talk-, ing about it."and.putting such ideas  in . . people's* heads."
Discussing with Rabbi Isserman , what individuals in the opinion of a Christian, are doing most to'hurt the name of the, . Jew in America, Father Couglilin named as the first puhlie enemies of the Jews:'.
America: 1.,. Bernard M. Baruch, be-. cause of- his reactionary views, and"be- cause.these views influence the govern-    ' ment of the United States; 2; a popular radid'comediani because of his Obscenities , on the .radio; 3, the,moving pictui-e mag¬ nates of America because, of their per-: nicious  inlluence.    Withi,.regard  to the niovie producers he. added that they had ' = learned their lesson and were beginning lo mend their ways.    ,'. :
.Rabbi; -Isserman    further    said    that Father   Coughlin was  careful, to  ppint ¦- out  that tlie  fact that  individual Jews were .bad influences on the nation is riot to be construed as an accusation agaiiist all Jews, and furtliernibre, that all' riicin- bers  of a  minority  suffer,  thougti un¬ justly, ' because   of   a   few   individuals. Father Coughlin also cited.'tWo American cardinals and. Postmaster Tames J. F'ar^,' ley  as  the, men  huriing   the' cause  of . Catholicism   most   in  America.    Th   his interview with iRabbi- Isserman, the De¬ troit priest emphasized, his opposition to Fascism,-Nazism and  dictatorships and expressed his  faith in democratic prOc- : esses.     According   to   Rabbi . Issern'ian, Father .Coughlin .hopes   to   secure   the. heeded- changes   in  goverriment  through the exercise 6 f the ballot by tlie Ameri¬ can  voter,   and   stands, opposed  to  the supremacy , of  the  state, over  the .'indi¬ vidual. ,"¦ '¦
Pointing   but   that   Father   Coughlin was the first to applaud all references, tb the need'jof mairi,taining democracy, in  ' Rabbi Isserman's Detroit speech, the. St. Louis ,rabbi   said   that   "the  -fact   that Father Coughlin invited a rabbi to par¬ ticipate in the first open meeting of 'the . National Union for Social Justice is cer-r tainly  indicative of  his  desire  publicly,', to  disavow  any  leanings towards anti- Semitisni.    It is apparent that it is his . conviction that Jew, Catholic and Prot¬ estants are to  play equal  roles  in  the- shaping, of the destiny of the American nation    In his address at the huge De¬ troit nieetmij, he again stated that the NationjI Union  for Spual Justice wel¬ comes    equally    Jcwis,h,    Catholic    and Protestant memhers.
"While wandering about the magnifi¬ cent church that Father Coughlin is building at Rojal Oak, I noted very carefully that the quotations he selected to be inscribed upon its exterior in order thus to gauge the temper o.f the man. On top of the cross of the tower, there is inscribed "Kintj of Jews* in Hebrew, as Chri-;tian tradition contends it was written on the crojs hy Roman soldiers. At the base of the tower there are a series of quotations. The first are the imiiiortul words ol Liincoln—'with malice toward none and charity towards all.' {Continued on page 9)
