Coughlin, Dropping Broadcasts, Blames "Powerful" Men
DETROIT (WNS) — Father Charles E. Coughlin, antl-Seml¬ tlc radio priest, disclosed that he had abandoned his plan for a new series of weekly radio talks, which had been scheduled to open on October 20, In a state¬ ment published in his news¬ paper. Social Justice.   ^
Father Coughlin, who has been presenting his weekly radio talks for the past 13 years, charged that "men powerful In the field of radio and other activities" had "forced the de¬ cision upon me."
Coughlin, who since the rise to power of Adolf Hitler has dis¬ played marked Fascist and anti- Semitic tendencies, and has been a source of embarrassment to Catholic leaders In the United States, said he would not broad¬ cast again "until we cease to be war-minded—It may be ten months or it may be ten years."
"I am definitely aware of ef¬ forts made In the past to ostra¬ cise me from the alr,'''the radio priest declared. "I am also aware that the sponsors of these efforts—men powerful In the field of radio and other activi¬ ties—^have not altered their resolution to silence me by one method or another.
"In so far as they have fore- ^ *^*6cisionjUpo^.,;n|faji^^l,t"
tend to' tfaeifi lUj^/l^irtiysF^ir gratulatlona for all that the fu: ture holds in store for them.''
CoughUn, recently rebuked and his support repudiated t^ Wendell L Willkle, Republican Presidential nominee, said that he "could not ' in good con¬ science support either candi¬ date."
" Coughlih's agents have'en- c^uutered Increasing difffcultles In obtaining'radio time Tor the radio "priest since 1938 when his opeii support of anti-Semitic- or- I^Uii'^tlo.ns like the Christian r*rpnt, Phrlstian-Mpbillzers, etc., met with severe " criticism throughout the country..
A recent code adppted by the National Association of Broad¬ casters pledged its members to refuse time to the anti-Semitic priest.

NEW YORK (WNS)—The violently anti-Semitic American ' Destiny Party faced Imminent collapse as Its fuehrer, Joseph E. McWilliams, was committed to Bellevue Hospital for 10 days' psychopathic examination as a result of his second conviction on a disorderly conduct charge. McWilliams was committed to Bellevue Hospital by Magis¬ trate Edgar Bromberger one day after New York's leading anti-Semite was defeated by a vote of 2,537 to 674 In the pri¬ maries for the Republican con¬ gressional nomination in New York's 18th District,-which em¬ braces the, German-populated YorkvlIIe section.
Political observers were grati¬ fied that McWilliams, who an¬ nounced at his antl-SemltIc street comer rallies that he would do the same for the Uni¬ ted States that Hitler did for Germany, was turned back by such a wide margin in a dls- - trlct where Nazi agitators oper¬ ate openly.
Likening ^is own misfor¬ tunes to that of Hitler during the unsuccessful "beer hall putsch" days ot 1923, McWil- hams said that he would run as an Independent' candidate on an American Destiny Parly ticket in the November elections
publication A tha,_'df fleets > aud board of the Council hope to ahjuse greater Interest in Its numerous projects in the Co lumbus Jewish community. Mrs Allan Tarshlsh, 1810 Bryden Rd, is editor of Council News It was printed In the Ohio Jewish Chronicle plant, located at 35 E. Livingston Ave.
Wins FootbaU Tickets The Rose E. Lazarus Sister¬ hood announces that Mr. Byron Goldsmith won the raffle of the two season football tickets for which, chances have been sold during the past several months.
^fter psych, sanity     A third similar i^drge^ against him also awaits' dispo¬ sition. '
Magistrate Bromberger re¬ cently ordered a psychopathic examination of WilUam Fox, a McWilliams lieutenant, who was later sentenced to four months In the workhouse when he was fouiid to be legally sane.^
All • the disorderly conduct charges grew out of street corn¬ er meetings at which McWil¬ liams hurled abusive epithets at the Jews and challenged Jews In his audience.to step up. (Continued on Page 8).
