The Committee is Episcopalian Eleanor Roosevelt's favorite charity, to which she has given some $150,000 from radio earnings...
...Condemned as pampering papacy President Roosevelt's appointment of Steelman Myron C. Taylor as his personal peace envoy to the Vatican, urged Episcopalian Taylor's immediate recall, even at this time when the President was pulling all the strings he could to keep Italy...
