The Cleveland Fellowship of Faiths today issued a letter calling upon all the clergy of Cleveland to set aside Sunday, May 7, as a day for special prayer that the Nazi administration of Germany may give up its policy of religious and racial persecution, and retain from the proposed public burnings of books of Jewish authorship on May 10.

The letter is signed by Rabbi Abraham Nowak, executive chairman of the Cleveland Fellowship of Faiths; Dr. Charles Thwing, president emeritus of the Western Reserve University; Dr. Arthur Culler, president of the Ministers’ Association; Dr. Don Tullis, secretary of the Federated Churches; Rev. Fred Adams, president of the Episcopal Clergy; Leo Weidenthal, editor of the Jewish Independence; and Mrs. Jennie K. Zwick, president of the Cleveland committee of the American Jewish Congress.
