Let $G$ be a locally compact Hausdorff group. In the proof of theorem 4.32 of Folland's book "A course in abstract harmonic analysis", the following result is used: If $U$ is an open neighborhood of a point $x \in G$, then there exists $f \in \mathcal{B}^1$ with $f(x)\ne 0$ and $\operatorname{supp}(f)\subseteq U$. This is supposed to be a consequence of the following theorem: [![enter image description here][1]][1] Recall that $\mathcal{B}^1:= [\operatorname{span}\mathcal{P}(G)]\cap L^1(G)$, where $\mathcal{P}(G)$ are the continuous functions of positive type on $G$. How does this Urysohn-like result follow from the above result? [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/Yl7tk.png
