...House Committee on Un-American Activities headed by ham-handed Representative Martin Dies of Texas, after hearings in Washington which revealed it as nothing but an ill-planned, amateurish Red-hunt, last week heard some news of fascist propaganda but soon got back to its Red theme.

For example, the French newspaper...
...black or yellow, the delegates (average age: about 25) set about saving the world with enthusiasm and organized cheering.

In effect, reaffirmation of the deal served notice on Fascist Catholics that they must toe the party line-no matter what the Pope's views...
Dino Grandi. Italian Ambassador to Great Britain, two years ago appeared in London wearing a suit made from 48 pints of skimmed milk. Secretary Achille Starace of the Fascist Party decreed that all party flags must be made from "this product of Italian ingenuity" a textile fabric called Lanital, invented in 1935 and introduced in the U. S. last winter (TIME, Dec. 6). Basis of Lanital is casein, the thick substance in sour, skimmed milk from which cottage cheese is made. Last week the U. S. Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Dairy Industry applied for a public-service...
