Leon Blum, former premier and now roving Ambassador Extraordinary, today described as “pure inventions” reports that he was planning to become converted to Catholicism. He told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that “I have never been converted to Catholicism or to Protestantism, and stories of such conversion are put out by idle gossips that have nothing more important with which to occupy their time.”
