Lewis assigned to his less shaggy, more gregarious Brother Denny the task of CIOrganizing 2,000,000 U. S. construction workers. This maneuver struck directly at the biggest and long-dominant craft blocs in the A. F. of L., marked Lewis' first major invasion of A.

...orita Polo, sister of Señora Franco. His war record included an escape from Madrid's Model Prison, a trip to Germany to be feted by Nazis. But in the 18 months that he has been Minister of the Interior, Senor Serrano has outshone his plodding, unimaginative brother-in-law, stolen the show from the Spanish Generals whom he accompanied on a trip to Rome, become the leading figure of the Falangists. Ardently pro-Nazi, contemptuous of conservatives who see no point in scaring off possible British financial aid, he has boasted that Gibraltar would soon be returned...
