Among the undergraduate literary lights in the bright Harvard Class of 1910, Heywood Broun was a mere twinkle. He wrote for the highbrow Advocate, but was not elected to its board.

Two months ago, Columnist Pegler jabbed a particularly tender spot. American Newspaper Guild President Broun was operating a scab shop, he wrote, because the Connecticut Nutmeg, of which Broun is one-tenth owner-editor, had hired a non-union reporter.
