...appointed to the second highest court in the federal system. Able Governor Hastie got his advancement in the same week that a college classmate got a sharp reverse: Manhattan Councilman Ben Davis, the other outstanding Negro member of the Amherst Class of 1925, was one of the eleven convicted Communist leaders...
...statement meant what it seemed to mean. However, in other speeches throughout the week Nehru made it clear that he was against aligning India with the U.S. in a concerted effort to contain the only aggressor in sight.

...Communist Fiat. This throbbing plea for German friendship was only the beginning; this week Stalin continued to woo Germany by announcing that German P.W.s (of whom an estimated 225,000 are still in Russian camps) would soon start going home. Then Moscow went through the diplomatic farce of "recognizing" its puppet regime and exchanging ministers with it. In Washington, Secretary of State Dean Acheson denounced the puppet republic as being "without legal validity or foundation in the popular will . . . created by Communist fiat...
