Taciturn by profession, when retired to private life sailors often make inspired and voluble crusaders. Anti-alcohol and antinarcotic groups found this so years ago when the late Rear Admiral Richmond Pearson Hobson barnstormed for them against liquor and drug evils. The Emergency Peace Campaign, best integrated organization of its kind, evidently had a like idea when last week it launched its No Foreign War Crusade with Rear Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd, U. S.

But Richmond Pearson Hobson was a professional zealot who, in 30-odd years of windy crusading against alcohol, narcotics and un-Americanism, of drumming up fears of Japanese invasion and Communist infiltration, had never forgotten that he was once the No. 1 U. S. Hero. Before he retired, Richmond Pearson Hobson sat self-importantly down, wrote the President of the U. S. a letter announcing his regret that...
