...stop there. "When I think of McCarthy," he told a reporter from the New Dealish Las Vegas Sun, after arriving to attend a meeting of T.W.A. directors, "I automatically think of Hitler. I would believe anything about him, and I think your paper and its publisher, Hank Greenspun, should be commended on the stand it has taken against this rabble-rouser . . . It's a shame that McCarthy is a member of the G.O.P., because he has done the Republican Party no good...
When the word got to Washington, McCarthy "demanded" that Banker Eisenhower confirm or deny the Sun story, and generally acted as though he thought Editor Greenspun (one of his bitterest.critics) had made it all up. Arthur Eisenhower obliged. Interviewed at Phoenix on his way home, he said: "Sure I called him the most dangerous menace to America, but I don't understand why the remark caused excitement." Back home in Kansas City, he was asked if his statement reflected the viewpoint of the President. "That's the hell of it," he said unhappily. "People misinterpret things. I want...
Nevada has new citizens from other states who do not seem to understand that Biltz knows what is best for them all. One of the noisiest is ex-New Yorker Hank Greenspun, publisher of the Las Vegas Sun.

Last week the $225,000 damage suit charging that McCarran had conspired with the gamblers was settled out of court. Under the terms of the settlement...
Ever since Publisher Hank Greenspun, 42, bought the Las Vegas Sun (circ. 8,500) in 1950, the. paper has been scowling at Nevada's Democratic Senator Pat McCarran and old Pat has been glaring right back. Two months ago their feud turned up in court. The Sun sued McCarran and 51 others, including the owners of Las Vegas' leading gambling houses, for $1,000,000. The charge: McCarran had persuaded the local gamblers to yank $8,000 a month in advertising from the paper after the Sun printed attacks against him. The gamblers denied the charge. Last week...
