When the U. S. Communist Party's general secretary and No. 1 front man, crook-mouthed Earl Browder, so testified to the Dies Committee last September, he put himself in danger of a second Federal imprisonment. (In 1917 he was jailed as a conscientious objector to World War I.) Last week the possibility of a second term for Earl Browder, and imprisonment for many another big-name Communist, was brought measurably nearer by the U. S. Department of Justice...
First hint that something unpleasant was a-brewing for Browder & Co. came via the Republican National Committee's alert publicity man, Franklyn Waltman. In the name of Republican Congressman (and Dies Committeeman) John Parnell Thomas of New Jersey, Mr. Waltman handed the following poison-ivy bouquet to Attorney General Frank Murphy: "Our dynamic attorney general, who has been so enthusiastically and tirelessly swooping by airplane all over the country in pursuit of lesser violators of the law . . . has been strangely indifferent and listless in the case of Browder. . . . Even Browder must be surprised, perhaps slightly contemptuous. . . ." Thereupon a spokesman...
...People's Church." In 1917 he was horsewhipped for pacifist preachings. Cincinnati knows him chiefly as a chameleon of political thought.

...Massigli and British Ambassador Sir Hughe Montgomery Knatchbull-Hugessen in their talks with Turkish statesmen was the fact that they could promise an immediate large credit.

Both these veterans came to Ankara...
Correspondent Edward Angly of the blue-blooded New York Herald Tribune reported the happiest experience. Everyone knew that Edward Windsor, once King but now only a Duke turned major general, was somewhere in France. Not everyone knew that his younger brother, Prince Henry, 39, Duke of Gloucester, is chief liaison officer of the B. E. F., with a major general's rank. Correspondent Angly was standing on a corner with his officer guide when up whirled an official car driven by an officer, with the chauffeur on the back seat. To Mr. Angly's glad amazement, the driver...
