CATHOLICS AND JEWS GIVE BROADCASTING FACILITIES TO FRANKLIN FORD OF WHAP

Station WHAP, widely rebuked for its attacks on Catholics and Jews, which closed down a week ago. with the withdrawal of its wave length by the Federal Radio Commission, will resume its broadcasting.

Unwilling that any station should be forced out in the attempt being made to clear up the chaos in the air, the Federal Radio Commission addressed seven major and three or four minor stations, asking if they would share their broadcasting hours with WHAP. All refused except one, WGL, which has a board of directors composed principally of Catholies and Jews.

Charles D. Isaacson, director of WGL, which is to operate on 322.4 meters, when interviewed by the representative of the “Jewish Daily Bulletin”, stated that the directors of his station complied with the request of the Radio Commission in an effort to cooperate although the methods and policy of Station WHAP were “abhorred and despised” by them.

“I am told that Mr. Franklin Ford has learned a lesson and claims he will not spread propaganda any further.” Mr. Isaacson said. “I do not know whether he is sincere about this. Let us hope so.”

Mr. Isaacson pointed out that the arrangement is only temporary and will last only three or four weeks.

Station WGL derives its last two initials from the names of Colonel Lewis Landes, owner, and Harry Goldman, member of the board of directors. The other members include James Pershing, brother of General Pershing; J. Lester Eisner, and four Catholics. Colonel Ernst K. Coulter, Private Dan Edwards. Colonel Charles R. Van Etten and Lawrence Cockaday.
