Appearing as a witness armed with a 42-page attack, Anderson accused Strauss of practicing "deception," telling "unqualified falsehoods" and creating "myths" about his achievements. Having hurled his thunderbolts, Anderson took a seat close behind Wyoming's Gale McGee, a committee member, fed him information and questions to use against Strauss.

At last, Army agents found in Madison, Wis. four rhesus monkeys guaranteed (well, almost guaranteed) to have been born in the Independence (Kans.) zoo. While being flown to Fort Knox, they escaped in a way-station airport and were at large for some time.
