LETTER BOX

Southern Jewish Weekly
Jacksonville, Florida
Dear Sir:
My attention has been called to
an article in January issue of
Southern Jewish Weekly accus-
ing Cardinal Mindszenty of AM
ti-Semitism. So far I have seen
no retraction in your publication.
You have been misinformed I
am sure, so I am enclosing an
article taken from the Jesuit
Weekly, America" which def
initely refutes your accusation
and which I hope will clear any
misunderstanding that you have
in this matter, particularly so
since it has been written by one
of your fellow Jews.
I am anxiously awaiting copy
of S ]. W. correcting this error.
Yours truly,
Florence Berthe
Editors Comment:
(The reference which you I'M
doubtedly are taking is to a story
which appeared in a column
written by Phineas J. Biron
which no longer appears in this
publication. The opinions ex-
pressed by the columnist in this
periodical, as in any other, in no
way reflect the opinion of the
editor. The different columns
are contracted in order to pre-
sent as divergent points of
views as is possible on all mat
tiers. However, I believe you will
be interested to learn that we
have been trying to investigate
the Mindszenty story which ap-
peared in the Biron column.
Other evidence supported by
authoritative Jewish organiza-
tions prove that Cardinal Minds
zenty was not anti-semitic. The
Southern Jewish Weekly feels
that the case against the Cardin-
al is one of many which will yet
appear from behind the Iron
Curtain to discredit religion and
religious leaders of all faiths. The
fate which Cardinal Mindszenty
has suffered should be deplored
by all right thinking men not
only as an injustice inflicted on
one man, but also a prelude to
the strangling of one of our prec-
ious freedoms, freedom of relig-
ion. It is no accident that Car
dinal Mindszenty was prosecuted
at time when Protestant clergy
men were also being imprisoned
and Jewish religious groups and
Zionist organizations were being
shut down. = E. K. M
