Even in the papers' treatment of the single page on the Communist teachers issue, the "20" saw a distortion. One of the three paragraphs read, in part, "we condemn the careless, incorrect, and unjust use of such words as 'Red' and 'Communist' to attack teachers and other persons who in point of fact are not Communists, but who merely have views different from those of their accusers." Reporters either deleted this section entirely or moved it much lower in their stories. The result, for most readers, was a simple statement that Communists should be banned from the teaching profession...

...condemn the careless, incorrect, and unjust use of such words as "Red" and "Communist" to attack teachers and other persons who in point of fact are not Communists, but who merely have views different from those of their accusers.

...investigation by whim can do much more then injure one man or cripple one agency. It can undermine the morale of the entire civil service. It will certainly be difficult to get more men like David Lilienthal--men this country desperately needs--if any government worker must expect attacks on his personal principles and his work at any time by Congressional committees.

...does not discuss ways and means of preventing the employment of Communists as teachers. Yet such "implementation" is a logical second step. The Commission feels strongly that Communists should be kept out of education; the Commission also condemns the "unjust use of such words as 'Red' and 'Communist' to attack teachers and other persons who in point of fact are not communists, but who merely have views different from those of their accusers...

Repetition, in fact, is Director Sturges' specialty. Some of his gags, even the most familiar ones, are run through the camera four or five times in rapid succession, giving the effect of a bad attack of hiccoughs, or a worn record turning in the same groove. To keep the gags rolling, he deploys a whole passel of comics, including Rudy Vallee, with pince-nez and purse-mouthed antics, Hugh Herbert as a butter-fingered doctor, and a couple of yowling hillbilly pinheads (Sterling Holloway and Danny Jackson). None of them is as funny as they were plainly meant...
