" Son, Come On Back "
" Poor old Gene," says the article, " he Is certainly contributing nothing more than a Boy Scout reaction. And to cap the climax he is grabbing off that good old name of ' Catholic ' to establish a committee against anti-Semitism.
" Gene has been a clean fighter and a clean physical liver. But I am sorry that all this unfavourable publicity has put him in the wrong corner, where people without scruples are using him to waste his strength.
" It might be well if Gene would beg an hour off from Jerome Frank, spend it in conversation with some good oldfashioned priest; some fatherly old gentleman who would put his arm around Gene's shoulder and whisper to him : ' Son, come on back where you belong.

No mention is made of other members of the committee against anti-Semitism : Mgr. John Ryan, of the Catholic University of America, Dorothy Day, Philip Burnham, editor of Commonweal, Professor E. Chapman, of Fordharn Catholic University in New York, William Callahan, managing editor of the Catholic Worker.
