...Before 150 undergraduates in the courtyard of Yale's Pierson College appeared a small, mild-faced Negro. .No Yaleman but a collectivist who was sentenced to a Georgia chain gang three years ago for possessing radical literature and is now out on bail, Communist Angelo Herndon gravely announced: "We love our country so much that we are not willing to see her plunge into another...
Chuckle in Bandages. Should ballots make Léon Blum Premier and bullets not turn him out of office,*he and his Socialist Party are pledged first gradually to transform the "Capitalist society" of France into a "Collectivist society."
