Charles E. Coughlin’s connections with the Christian Front “will be investigated in due course,” Assistant United States Attorney General O. John Rogge said last night before leaving for Minneapolis and Chicago to gather additional evidence in the Christian Front investigation, to which he has been assigned by Attorney General Robert H. Jackson.
Coughlin, in his regular Sunday broadcast, yesterday said he would welcome “with graciousness” an investigation of his activities. He held that “those who sit in the seats of the mighty” were responsible for the movement to investigate his activities.
