...despite his genuine sympathy with the cause of teaching, Governor Hurley has fallen victim to the benighted belief that the clammy hand of authority can root out radical thinking. No authority under the sun possess the power to root out any thinking, whether it be radical or reactionary. Authorities in the Middle Ages tried to root out heresy, only to see it spread like wildfire. The sole force that can root out erroneous thinking is the ultra-violet ray of truth. For "the vicious minorities whose motives are inimical to. . . the principles on which the Republic was founded" will never...

...Viles of the Rubber Manufacturers Association, which is the nearest thing to a trade "institute" individualistic U. S. rubbermen will tolerate. Had he been asked, Mr. Viles would have told the committee that U. S. rubber consumption was currently running 16% ahead of last year while rubber stocks on hand have dipped below the 200,000-ton mark for the first time since 1930. At the end of last year each of the Big Four U. S. rubber companies (Goodyear, Firestone, U. S., Goodrich) had what seemed to be adequate inventories of rubber at favorable prices. But the future...
