...desperate stolidity of animals who hear the hunter coming toward the trap. In the U. S. two committees were trying to get them out. One was the Emergency Rescue Committee, which claims to have brought to the U. S. since last July some 50 writers-in-exile, including Heinrich Mann, Franz Werfel, Konrad Heiden, Leonhard Frank.
