1947-06-17—Esther Moorsteen, "For Your Entertainment," Southwestern Jewish Press, pages 6, 8:...We have a few young thespians within our own circle, who seem to be doing all right for themselves. Donald Solomon, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lew Solomon, was in the cast of "My Sister Eileen" with the Footlights Theatre, which just played for three nights at the Roosevelt Auditorium...Herbert, the Solomon's elder son, is the one who usually shines in these plays...Good for you, Donald....

April 1949—Lou Mogy, "Sports Around Town," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 5: At a luncheon held recently honoring Lou Moorsteen, before Lou and Esther left for Israel, the following gentlemen were among those present. Leo Greenbaum, Irving Schulman, Murray Goodrich, Julius Brown, Eddie Bland, George Neumann, Abe Sklar, Eli Levenson, Ben Rubin, Ben Harris, Dr. Ritoff, Lew Solomon, Vic Schulman, Lou Weiss, Al Sutherland and Tony Procopio.  Try to get Lou Weiss to tell you the joke he told at this gathering. Ask Leo Greenbaum for the one about the "lady in the ocean."  Murray Goodrich was splendid as the M.C.

September 1949 — 1) "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 Rabbi 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, Springer 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, a bi-monthly: "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 Mrs. Louis Pollack, Mr. and Mrs. William 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. Walter Ornstein. The group set up a steering committee headed by Lou Pollack to plan a public meeting for the immediate future.
