Everybody knows that Christopher Columbus was a fraud, and that the Norsemen actually discovered America. Although this knowledge does not disprove the theory that the world is round, it does raise grave doubts--so grave that the CRIMSON feels it cannot honestly publish tomorrow...
...that point, according to the 168-year-old practice of the New York Stock Exchange, its responsibilities have always ended-unlike the practice of the London Stock Exchange, which has a fund to protect customers of its members against loss because of fraud. But this time the exchange issued a precedent-setting statement. Said Exchange President Keith Funston: "The New York Stock Exchange feels that its moral responsibilities to these investors are not ended with the act of expulsion." He hinted that the exchange itself might make up financial losses suffered by Homsey customers, "particularly those of modest means...
...week a blow far more jolting than his 1956 defeat landed on Earle Clements, 63. The news got out that the U.S. Government had filed a $291,288.97 income tax claim against him-$183,461.46 in back income taxes for 1948-56, plus $107,827.51 in penalties for tax fraud and other alleged violations.

...This fraud, like the bogus Protocols of the Elders of Zion used against the Jews, has been spread by bigots for almost half a century. It first turned up in a congressional election in 1912 in a lunatic-fringe tract mailed from Aurora, Mo. The following year, a congressional committee investigating unfair election practices condemned the oath as a fabrication. At that time, the false oath was read into the Congressional Record, a fact that present-day bigots cite to lend it an air of authenticity. Ku Klux Klanners circulated it against Al Smith in 1928. It turned up again...
