...being helped to some extent by letters and telephone calls, many of them anonymous, giving us leads to follow up; but the examination of witnesses cannot be as effective under existing circumstances as if we had had a force of investigators at work in advance, gathering material as a basis for real crossexamination, as is usually done by Congressional committees. As it is, most of the testimony has been pass-the-biscuit-pappy stuff...

S. cult has prospered by: 1) promising, and to some extent producing visible results here & now; 2) spreading doctrines which seem more plausible more understandable, than those of the established churches. A cult which has done well on this broad basis is one known simply as Unity. One of its high priestesses, a well-dressed, pleasant-faced woman named Mrs. Georgiana Tree West announced last week in Manhattan's swank Waldorf-Astoria Hotel that she had incorporated a new Unity Center in that city, was hunting a permanent location...
