...last week called upon U. S. patriots to join his G-Men in a holy war: on spies, murderers, foreignisms, burglars, alien-minded mongrels, Utopian praters, saboteurs, subversive lawbreakers of every sort.

(Only a month ago it resurrected some old-style hand rolling mills to help handle its huge order book.) Last week word leaked out that Big Steel would install three new continuous rolling mills in its new ($60,000,000) Irvin Works at a cost of over $10,000,000, which is just a drop in the bucket alongside what...
