...rawboned Martin Dies of Texas, First Whip of the Red Hunting pack, never put on the stand a real, live, honest-to-goodness Communist. At his House Committee on Un-American Activities hearing last week in Washington he could have reached out and touched one: wispy, unobtrusive Earl Browder, general secretary (at $40 a week) of the Communist Party, its 1936 Presidential candidate...

...chiefs of the Allied Armies, Generalissimo Maurice Gustave Gamelin and towering (6 ft. 4 in.) General Sir Edmund ("Tiny") Ironside, came together with their staffs on French soil last week. The English Channel was closed south of the Downs by a minefield.

Just as France's main Maginot Line is manned by veteran regulars, with young reservists performing the attack work, so Germany's Wall is manned by 20 divisions (some 250,000 men) of the regular Land-wehr, mostly veterans of 35-45, specially trained for defense. For sallies and counterattack which the Germans...
