...whose skill in evading the police goes back to before 1920 when he belonged to Brooklyn's famed Five Points Gang. Last week, in New York City, a Federal grand jury that had worked on the case for three months finally indicted Johnny Torrio and three henchmen for conspiracy to evade income taxes for 1933, 1934 and 1935, thereby defrauding, the U. S. Government of a total...
Like the late John Dillinger, Al Brady is an Indiana bad boy who got in trouble young, was let out of jail on parole. Also like Dillinger, he took to cracking banks and shooting police as soon as he got out. At 27, he and his three henchmen-James Dalhover, Clarence Shaffer, Charles Geisking-are wanted for nine stickups, robberies and jail escapes, for murdering an officer in Anderson, another in Indianapolis, a clerk in Piqua, Ohio. Like Dillinger, Brady has staged a spectacular jail break, and last week Brady, Dalhover and Shaffer added a fillip to their record...
Damping the hopes of horrified citizens, evidence appeared last week that Harlan operators and their henchmen were not to be regenerated by any such shadowboxing as a Supreme Court decision and a Senate investigation.

Bland and self-possessed, Red Lin produced a scroll which he said was from the brush of Red Mao-as likely a story as though it should be claimed that Comrade Browder had written a speech in Chaucerian English or Attic Greek...
Sagacious Joseph Stalin showed in a speech made public last week that he knows what millions of Russians are thinking-namely that the Dictator and his Communist henchmen have been making too many mistakes. In a tactically sound proclamation J. Stalin gently beat his breast as he cried: "We should not think that if we are members of the Central Committee of People's Commissars we possess all the knowledge necessary to give correct leadership. Rank in itself gives neither knowledge nor experience. We must listen attentively to the voice of the masses and of the rank and file...
