...Strachey was wrathful because the Department of State had canceled his visa while he was on the high seas. The State Department maintained that it had canceled the visa on evidence of fraud: after swearing to the U.S. Consulate-General in London that he did not advocate the overthrow of the U.S. Government by force or violence, John Strachey had become an official of the British Communist Party. Mr. Strachey denounced this charge as false, demanded a hearing from the State Department. The Department frostily agreed to grant one in London. But the American Civil Liberties Union and other outraged...

Without fail, civilian groundlings heard or saw, got warnings to Fort Bragg within three minutes. On a headquarters defense map, lighted in red and green, winking bulbs "tracked...

Publicity was in charge of artillery officers who did not go out of their way to discourage this impression, feeling with the Army at large that the Air Corps has got altogether too many bouquets in recent years.
