About A. Louis Solof

-1947-
1947-07-17—Esther Moorsteen, "For Your Entertainment," Southwestern Jewish Press, pages 6,8 ....One Saturday morning recently, tuned my radio in on a program called "House of Make Beleive" and heard someone announcing that little Linda Solof, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lou Solof, would now play a piano solo.  She did...And very good she was too!... Lots of luck to Linda!....

-1949-
September 1949—"Congress Chapter Inaugurated Here," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 4:  A new American Jewish Congress chapter is being formed in San Diego. Members of the community interested in the work of the Congress met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. Louis Solof, Thursday, August 25. Rabbi Leonard A. Greenberg of Los Angeles, Pacific Coast field representative of the A.J.C., led discussion on A.J.C. claims and philosophy. Rabbi Greenberg introduced Mel Springer, publisher of the Valley Jewish News, North Hollywood, chairman of the Southern California administrative committee, as guest speaker, who told of the forming of Congress 33 years ago by Stephen S. Wise and Louis Lipsky, and of its steady progress to the present day.  "For the past eight years A.J.C. has taken a more active and militant stand on discrimination," Spring said, "leading the way for other American groups. Through its Law and Social Order program, the Congress has attacked anti-Semitism from a constructive angle, fighting this scourge through the courts when necessary. Assuming that discrimination is in reality an attack on democracy, its legal department is ready to champion minority groups of all colors and creeds banding together for protection against bigotry at all times."  Springer told the group of the exceptional educational program. Its Office of Jewish Information, which publishes "Jewish Affairs," a bimonthly; the "Congress Weekly," outstanding Jewish publication, edited by J.L. Teller, formerly editor of the Independent Jewish Press Service. A.J.C. worked untiringly for the realization of the State of Israel and is now concentrating on the denazification program in Germany, which is taking an alarming turn.  During the past few years many chapters have been formed throughout the nation. In California, Los Angeles leads with thirty-five active chapters, San Francisco and San Jose have recently joined the region, which is headed by Judge Ben Rosenthal and Rabbi Max Nussbaum of Los Angeles.  Meeting at the Solof home were: Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Solomon, Mr. and Mr.s Louis Pollack, Mr. and Mis. Milton Roberts, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Schwartz; Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wosk; Hillel Arkin, Mrs. Eva Arkin, Raymond Bass, Oscar Dubowsky, Henry Price, Morrie Douglas, Manny Haffner and Dr. Waltern Ornsteain. The group set up a steering committee headed by Lou Pollack to plan a public meeting for the immediate future.
