Herriot balked at the Radical Socialists going far enough Left to join with Communists; Leftist Daladier, swinging further Left, plunged in.

When two deputies are shot, mass arrests hit both the Red union and its rival. Glenn, who is nearly killed by vigilantes, urges a united-front defense. But Comrade Silverstone, of Manhattan, sneers: "There's too much of the artist in you, Sandy."
