...National Association of Broadcasters last fortnight considered outlawing the sale of time on the air for religious programs, they compromised on outlawing programs "attacking another's race or religion." No broadcaster needed to be told that the programs in question were the radiorations of the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, whom not only Jews consider antiSemitic. Since the three major U.

Militant Coughlinites wear three kinds of buttons: one showing their leader's picture, the others the cross of the "Christian Front." The latter organization was founded by the Paulist Fathers, who disowned it when it became anti-Semitic...
Year ago Franklin Roosevelt's plan for reorganizing the U. S. Government was beaten in a bitter legislative battle amid cries of "Dictator!" from Father Coughlin and Publisher Frank Gannett.
