The important Catholic weekly, Les Temps Nouveaux (The New Times), was suspended for a month by the authorities today after publishing a strong protest against the exhibition in France of the Nazi anti-Semitic film, “Jew Suss.”

The paper termed the picture, “stupid, un-Christian and un-French.” Demanding suppression of the film, it concluded: “Lord! What stupidity! But stupidity may be contagious.”
