...separate ways last week from Hankow, the de facto capital of China. She flew 600 miles to the comparative safety of British Hong Kong in the South.

Attorney General, was the greatest Red-baiter of his day. In a hearing of an appeal against the board's banning of the Soviet-made Baltic Deputy, Mrs. Palmer last week showed her particolors.

An explosive, rapid-fire attack on stage censorship, Reds, Fascists and Ernest Hemingway, the lecture was entitled It Has Happened Here. Next month he will repeat his performance in Albuquerque, N. Mex. That same week in Upper Montclair, N. J., Salvador de Madariaga will be going on about The Future of Liberty, and Ludwig Lewisohn will be holding forth on books. In Grand Rapids...
