Meantime, the Republican National Committee prepared to take its case to the nation by way of its radio-propagandist, William Hard. Last week Broadcaster Hard began a series of nightly talks on "The Purchase of Pennsylvania," presenting affidavits which were forwarded to the Senate committee after each broadcast. Samples...
...Broadcast of 1937", premature only in name, is best described by an enumeration of the people in it.

These have fought bravely enough time and again, but too often only in their own good time and place. This week they hurled themselves into a savage counterattack, and the Madrid radio broadcast that they had recaptured the important Maqueda junction on the Toledo road...
