Biggest fish in the Colorado haul was New York City-born Arthur Bary, 42 (real name: Diamantis Daramparis), who was carrying $1,872.67 in cash when he was seized. J. Edgar Hoover described Bary as "one of the party's outstanding West Coast underground leaders." Bary had won quite an unusual job from the party; his job was to find out how the FBI was able to plant informers and otherwise collect information on underground Reds. He was, apparently, so maladroit at this task that he could not even foresee or forestall his own arrest...
Hinton is still dazzled by the "agrarian reforms." He told the Senators that "the tractors were used to haul water for the aged and widows. Most of the government personnel were out in the fields helping with the work." In 1949 the Communists captured Peking, and Americans saw plainly the cruel, aggressive outlines of the new Red regime.

It's only a minor detail in your story, but I cannot resist pointing out that Mr. Jackson was not fortunate enough to clamber up the iced boulders with "primitive film."

Piggybackers argue that everyone-shippers, truckers and railroaders-should benefit. In many cases, piggybacking should not take business away from the truckers. The railroads will simply charge them a fee for handling the long-haul shipments that wear out truckers' equipment and boost their costs. For their part, the railroads will get some much-needed extra revenue. Says Erie's Traffic Vice President Harry W. Von Willer: "Trucks take only the kind of business they want. They skim off the cream. We can't live on milk. We want cream." The New York Central alone figures that...
