Separate Pleas. By any measure, the strike's burden seemed larger than any of the principals, or even the innocent bystanders, could long accept. "We Miss You Too," said the World-Telegram, in a despondent ad posted all over New York's subway system. Broadway languished, as thousands of would-be theatergoers passed up a play or a movie because they had no simple way of discovering what was on.

The leader of the Ad Hoc Committee is a frank communist sympathizer, and because of the very nature of the junket, most of those who will accompany him will probably be communist sympathizers...
...well indicate violations of the law. While White did not feel in a position to comment on specific candidates or campaigns he did clarify that the law requires that expenses for radio and television be specifically stated, not lumped under a general category like "other" and attributed to an ad agency. According to the law, he reiterated, liabilities must be reported every two weeks for the debts incurred during that time interval...
