William Dudley Pelley has decided to discontinue publishing his anti-Semitic, anti-Soviet, anti-New Deal periodical, the Galilean, following orders from the federal post office officials to submit the magazine to Washington for censorship before it was mailed, it was learned here today. Pelley, who is now out on bail after being sentenced to two years in prison on charges of violating the security laws of North Carolina, informed his subscribers that publication of the Galilean would be resumed at a “more auspicious” time. A previous Pelley magazine, the Roll Call, stopped publishing after the United States entered the war.
