...deportation case of Communist-suspect Harry Bridges, C. I. O.'s West Coast leader. After the Supreme Court's inconclusive ruling (TIME, April 24) that past membership in the Communist Party is not a deportable offense, she guessed the U. S. would have to prove: 1) that Australian-born Harry Bridges was a Communist at the time (March 1938) that his deportation warrant was issued; 2) that Alien Bridges advocates overthrow of the U. S. Government by force...
...Earle Page, leader of the Country Party, Acting Prime Minister since Joe Lyons' death, had promised to carry on until a new Ministry was formed, possibly hoping that he might form it. But Sir Earle resigned in a huff and delivered one of the bitterest speeches Australian politics had ever heard. He accused Robert Menzies of being a stubborn mule, a backstabber, a coward.

S. scrap iron, other war materials], I sometimes fear that Japan will temporarily win this war. I find it difficult...
...been some darbs. In nine colleges from Stanford to Columbia, students' attitudes toward Japan and China were tested, after which some were given a bombardment of Japanese and some of Chinese propaganda. Each group changed its collective mind. At the University of Iowa, opinion-testers pretended that an Australian ex-Prime Minister Hughes was in Iowa on a lecture tour, planted 15 editorials approving him, 15 opposed, let the favorable editorials be read by one group, the unfavorable by another. Of the group that read favorable editorials, 98% became pro-Hughes, while 86% of those who read anti-Hughes...
