When subjected to rational consideration, the charges of Congressman Dies have been found completely lacking in factual proof. In some cases he has gone so far as to urge dismissal of men who left the government service several months ago. As a result, Democratic and Republican Congressmen have begun a united movement to set up a new committee to pass judgment on these charges. They admit, by this action, that the findings of Dies and his assistants are not to be trusted...
...read the State Department's White Paper, "Peace and War," with the expectancy that American foreign policy during the thirties can be halocd or blessed. Nothing could be farther from the truth, the truth made so painfully clear by page after page of very factual historical exposition. In precise chronological order, the department's analysts have recorded the breakdown of international morality during that distressed decade, and have attempted to weave some sort of cohesive web from the fragments of democratic resistance to this collapse...

Science students, particularly, found it impossible to digest the full quota of factual material usually presented, while those with long lab assignments were over-whelmed by the attempt to jam sixteen weeks' work into the five-and-one-half allotted. Short exam periods immediately following final lectures cut out all review and forced students to resort to "coffee-and-benzadrine" cramming. The impossibility...
...strictly military action, Scriptors W. R. Burnett and Frank Butler, and Director John Farrow stuck to the Wake Island log and made their record "as accurate and factual as possible." But the participants and their conduct at ease and in combat are fictional. The people who are supposed to give flesh & blood to Wake Island-a tough major (Brian Donlevy), a tough lieutenant (Macdonald Carey), a tough contractor (Albert Dekker), a tough team of comic privates (Robert Preston & William Bendix)-are sincerely invented and acted, but hopelessly unreal in so stern a context. Not even Brian Donlevy, who does...
