Democratic orators should refrain from leading their listeners to believe that $8,000,000,000 is the total in crease in the national debt...
...that he was once married to a lady who was once married to John Reed, a U. S. Communist buried in a niche of the Kremlin at Moscow, and with the surprising observation that Mr. Bullitt's late mother was a half-Jewess whose maiden name was Louisa Gross Horwitz. Imperturbably commented Cousin Logan Bullitt last week in Philadelphia: "I have always had a very definite impression that Bill's mother was part Jewish...
