JEWISH EDITOR FILES $200,000 LIBEL SUIT AGAINST FORD _Herman Bernstein of New York Says Action Is “For Public Service.” ! Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. Léernstein, editor of the Jewish Trib- une, today made good his threat to sue Henry, Ford, when papers in a libel action for $200,000 damages were filed by his counsel, Guggen- -heimer, Untermyer and Marshall. Bernstein was one of those who journeyed overseas with Ford on the ; | | peace ship and Ford has been quoted | as saying that on that voyage Bern- stein told him most of what later ‘appeared in the series of articles Learborn Independent. The suit started by Bernstein today is nomi- nally to clear himself of the smirch which he declares came thus on his name. It has been explained, however, thet once Ford is put on the witness stand he will be so questioned as to reveal what was behind his attack on the Jews. In a letter to Ford last momh, announcing his plans to bring suit, and inviting Ford .to name counsel in New York upop 'whom service of the papers could 'be made, Bernstein wrote: “It is high time American people get a true picture of the manner of man you are, and I feel that ing an important public service.” The summons and complaint filed to@&y are directed against publishers of the Dearborn In- dent.
