More effective dissent to the Supreme Court's action was written by Irving Dilliard, 45, longtime student of the Supreme Court's procedures and editor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch editorial page (TIME, July 4). In a series of 15 doggedly detailed editorials, he denounced the "star chamber proceedings" in the case of Knauff v. the U.S. as a denial of her rights and a threat to the civil liberties of U.S. citizens as well. The P-D backed up his blasts with Fitzpatrick cartoons, news stories and full-page ads in the Washington Post and Star...

With no evidence against Mrs. Knauff, the committee unanimously reported out a bill directing the Attorney General to admit her to the U.S. In due course, she could expect to become a U.S. citizen, thanks to the Post-Dispatch and Crusader Dilliard...
Dateline: Philadelphia. The new editor was almost his exact opposite as a personality. Sober, earnest Irving Dilliard, 44, an ex-Nieman fellow, has a schoolteacher's manner and a historian's mind. Dilliard is an expert on the U.S. Supreme Court, a pen-pal of several justices, a contributor to the Dictionary of American Biography.

When Herbert Hoover's 1928 victory swept Republicans into State jobs, the Democratic legislative majority promptly put through a law separating the Presidential ticket from State office ballots, so that small-fry Democrats might be re-elected even when their Presidential candidate went down. Then last November, Edward H. Moore, a Democrat-turned-Republican, trounced New Dealer Josh Lee for the U.S. Senate. Democrats in the State Legislature saw new storm signals, decided to act again. This time they...
...could the nation's press take claim for much astute reporting. It, too, completely failed to gauge the breadth of Republican sentiment. One reporter who had sensed the trend was the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's able, amiable Irving Dilliard, who, in the New Republic on Sept. 7 set down a multitude of reasons for possible big Republican gains. Some of them: dissatisfaction with the military, failure to come to grips with inflation, politics as usual, "feather bed" regulations for labor, bungling censorship, Congress' descending reputation...
