P.E. Foxworth, Federal Bureau of Investigation agent in New York, said today that the investigation of the Christian Front was continuing.
Meanwhile, the Rev. William C. Kernan, of the Newark Episcopal Diocese, in a broadcast over Station WEVD last night laid the responsibility for creation of the Front at Coughlin’s door and called on Government agencies to investigate the organizations and activities headed by the radio priest.
The New York Post declared editorially today that it was not in the public interest to permit Coughlin now to repudiate the Christian Front, which he had previously supported and counselled. “That there is a connection is a point which needs no laboring,” the editorial said. “The public must not be denied its right to know of that connection.”
