The libel suit for $100,000 brought by Dr. A. Coralnick, editorial writer of “The Day” against the “Freiheit”, Communist Yiddish daily, was settled out of court yesterday.
Under the terms of the settlement, the “Freiheit” is to pay the amount of $250 to Dr. Coralnick and to publish a statement withdrawing its charges against him.
Jonah J. Goldstein and Leon Savage acted as attorneys for Dr. Coralnick. The $250 will be given to the Ort, Mr. Goldstein announced.
The suit was to have been tried before Judge Louis D. Gibbs.
A resolution censuring the editorial writers of the “Freiheit” was adopted recently by the J. L. Peretz Writers’ Club, the organization of Jewish writers and newspapermen in New York City. The action was taken on the complaint of the editorial staff of the “Jewish Morning Journal” that the writers in the “Freiheit” were employing insulting language in their articles against their professional colleagues on the non-Communist newspapers.
