...fight instead, and enlisted in a militia outfit. Seven months later, badly used up and sporting the scars of a near-fatal bullet hole through his neck, he went back to England and wrote a book about his experience. It was not a popular book because it was antiCommunist, and the fashion then was to cheer the Communist-controlled "Popular Front" that was running Spain. In the U.S., the book wasn't published at all. It was a pity, because Homage to Catalonia was an eye-opener. It makes fine reading even now, published here at last because Eric...
...party alias of "Peter Steele," he had been a member of the Communist Party from 1937 to 1941 at the same time he was city editor of the Los Angeles Daily News (circ. 209,000). Judson, now senior associate editor of California's Fortnight magazine and a militant antiCommunist, named 16 others as members of the party's Newspaper Unit No. 140 during the same period.

For the past...
Outside in the rain, a picket line of antiCommunist Czechs marched-as they had marched when Prochazka arrived in New York (TIME, Aug. 20)-carrying such signs as, "How dare you come to a free country with blood dripping from your hands?" Prochazka, a tough, doctrinaire Communist behind his mild, owl-eyed front, was with the President five minutes. The dialogue was described later by White House Press Chief Joe Short (who got it from the President...
...most often named as the archconspirator is Alfred Kohlberg, New York importer, stoutly pro-Nationalist and antiCommunist, who passed some of the ammunition to Senator Joe McCarthy in McCarthy's assault on the State Department. Others accused of being co-conspirators include private U.S. citizens, publishers, Congressmen (chiefly Walter Judd, ex-missionary to China), Senators (chiefly California's Knowland and New Hampshire's Bridges). It was yet to be shown that they had done anything sinister. Principally, they were concerned in saving China from Communism. In this they have some potent allies, ranging in the Senate from...
