This editorial policy for the too many
MacFadden True Story magazines is in
force. No Jewish types are to be used
for the photographic illustrations of the
stories except for the portrayal of gang
sters. ... A goyish newspaper column
reveals that the Yiddish Forward has
invested a quarter million dollars in the

The reason why Harry Hershfield,
originator of Abie Kabbible. disappeared
from the pages of the New York Evening
Graphic? The management made an
attempt to chop off Harry’s salary 33 per
cent. Harry refused. Under the contract
(because of which he had left the Hearst
banner), Hershfield was to get $25,000
plus a split on the syndication of his
column and comic strip. So now, the au
thor of “If I’m wrong—sue me,” is suing
MacFadden for a 100,000 dollars dam
age. He is sending in his column and
his strip every day but the editor doesn’t
print it. We hope you’ll win, Harry. . . .
