Abe Kasoff was one of the signers of the monopoly contract which
binds all Sanitation men to buy uniforms from William Isaac & Son.
When The L eader first began this series of articles, we kept hearing
rumors that Abe Kasoff's son had been at one time employed by the
Isaac firm.
We asked William Isaac about it.
It s ^untrue! ‘ he shouted indignantly, “I don't know any son of Abe
Kasoff’s, and nobody by that name ever worked for me. Anybody says
they did is lying."
We let it go at that.
Last week, while going over some court records, we found:
In an affidavit dated June 23, 1939, Abe Kasoff made this statement:
Since the accusation is made . . . that a son of ihine is employed by
William Isaac and Son. and apparently some sinister inference is sought
to be drawn from that, I should like to inform this Honorable Court of
the true facts. I have two sons—George and Frederick Kasoff. Neither
is employed by William Isaac and Son. One of them, George, as a p ­
pears from the affidavit of Leonard Isaac, submitted by the Corporation
Council, was employed for short periods by that firm. His last employ­
ment terminated in February, 1936."
Leonard Isaac is a member of the firm of William Isaac & Son. On
January 21, 1939, he made this affidavit:
Abe Kasoff’s son, George, was employed by me jroin June 1, 1935, to
August 3, 1935, and again from October 12, 1935, to February 8, 1936.
S i n c e February, 1936, he has not been in the employ of m y firm. While
employed he received only $20 per week, acting as a wrapper and helper,
having no executive or other duties."
The contract between Abe Kasoff’s Joint Council and the Isaac firm
was drawn up in 1938. The L eader doesn’t say there is any connection
between the two items. We merely report the facts for the record. Our
quotations covie from case brought by the Cleary Uniform Company,
Inc., against Anthony Greco, President of the Joint Council, in the
Supreme Court, County of Kings.

To all you gals who wrote in /q,
Edgar Hoover’s turtle joyrecipe: “Put one quart of bromn
^tock in a sauce-pan' add the liqui(j
from cooking the turtle, two egg
whites slightly beaten and one-half
lemon rind cut in thin strips. Brinn
to a boil, stirring constantly. Lj(
simmer for five minutes and set in a
warm place.
Strain through a
napkin. Just before serving, add one
pound of green turtle meat cut in
small cubes, reheat, add one tea­
s p o o n salt, a little black pepper, onefourth cup of sherry." And oh yes-~
write to the FBI for latest dope on
how to catch the turtle.

briefly this: Following reclassifica­

temporary jo b s on August 15 pend­

workers are still on.

expect.'? that the jobs will be fdled
permanently before the first of
next year. Meanwhile, a promo-

Teacher-candidates are roaming
the city for study material . . . Best
bet is the East 58th Street Branch of
the Public Library which specializes
in teaching material . . . The Board
of Ed. is putting out a booklet or.
past exam questions in English and
History . . . If the oral part of the
exam is what you’re afraid of, you
can bone up on word lists. Biggest
list is in ‘‘Words—Words—Words,”
which sells for $1.00. A hand book,
and the easiest one to learn from is,
"You Don't Say—Or Do You," by
Fred F. Tilden. It sells for 50c.
