“While I do not belong to any unit of the Christian Front, nevertheless I do not disassociate myself from that movement,” declared Charles E. Coughlin in his weekly broadcast yesterday, contradicting his own previous statement in which he “roundly disavowed” the Front.

“I reaffirm every word which I have said in advocating its formation,” the radio priest said. “I reencourage the Christians of America to carry on in this crisis for the preservation of Christianity and Americanism, more vigorously than ever despite this thinly-veiled campaign launched by certain publicists and their controllers to vilify both the name and the principles of this pro-American, pro-Christian, anti-Communist and anti-Nazi group.”
