Religious Book
Week May 5-12
NEW Y O R K—(JPS) —The
fourth annual Religious Book
Week, organized by the National
Conference of Christians and
Jews, will be observed May 5
through May 12, it was an
nounced here. A list of Protest
ant, Catholic, Jewish and good
will books has been selected for
nationwide emphasis during this
period.
This is a project designed to
stimulate laymen to read books
of spiritual value. Since 1942
Book Week has been held in
May—for it was on May 10, 1933,
that the Nazis threw to the-
flames those books which either
because of authorship or con
tent, were repugnant to their
philosophy.

Faith In UN
Only Hope,
Lerner Says
Max Lerner, chief editorial
w’riter for the newspaper P M.
spoke on ‘ The World We Live
In” and “Reflections of the Post
war Years” at the Progressive
Club Wednesday Evening. His
appearance marked the close of
the Atlanta Cultural Series for
the 1945-46 Season. Dynamic,
emotional and with a vast store
house of knowledge, Lerner held
the attention of his audience
every minute. He voiced the
fear of an atom bomb war and
its consequences, the return of
facism, and the need for faith
in the United Nations. “We are
living in a crises of confidence
and unless we learn to trust our
Allies in winning the peace as
we did in winning the war. we
are doomed,” said Lerner.
The speaker called to atten
tion the Improvements that have
been made on the atomic bomb
since the destruction of Hiro
shima and called the old bomb a
'Model T” by comparison. He
spoke of a needed awakening to
the realizations of the horrors
of destruction that the new
atomic bomb could inflict and
termed it “a democracy of
death.”
Mr. Lerner dwelt at length on
the Russian question, "on the
organized anti-Russian hysteria
that exists in this country.” “We
must learn to understand the
Russians,” he continued, “and
we won’t solve this problem by
being tough, or talking of a show
down, or by calling names". He
oaid tribute to the late Franklin
D. Roosevelt’s depth of under
standing of the Russian people
and the confidence Stalin had in
him.
“The United Nations Is our
only salvation,” he believes, and
compared it to a newly born
baby. It must be properly
“clothed” and “fed” so that it
might grow and gather strength.
Mr Lerner heatedly accused
Senator Bilbos, Congresman
Rankin, Gerald K. Smith, the
Klu Klux Klan along with many
other un-American organiza
tions, maintained under the
disguise of democracy, of pro
moting and instigating Facism
in this country. “The cause for
fear is still Facism,” the speaker
stated, “and what we must fear
most.”
