John Brophy, 45, who won handily over Edmund V. Bobrowicz, branded a Communist in Democrat's clothing by the Milwaukee Journal. A bald, chunky onetime Socialist and Progressive, Brophy became a Republican when the Progressives merged with the G.O.P. last spring...
...purpose was to combat the C.I.O.'s Political Action Committee, to ring doorbells and get out the vote, just the way P.A.C. did. It would have a blacklist, just like P.A.C.

But as salts in a cooled solution, when agitated, crystallize into some odd shapes, some oddly familiar shapes appeared in A.A. At the bottom...

Or should they piously denounce Communism and let it go at that? Most forthright reaction came from Representative Andrew Biemiller, Democrat from the adjoining 5th District. He was against letting Communists crawl into office disguised as Democrats...
