...Banuelos' bland assertion that she had been the victim of a political conspiracy seemed preposterous. But TIME's Eleanor Hoover learned that the choice of Mrs. Banuelos' plant was no accident. The tipster, Hoover reports, was Harry Bernstein, the respected labor editor of the Los Angeles Times and a recent crusader against illegal aliens. The day before the raid, Bernstein phoned Rosenberg and told him of the aliens at the Banuelos plant.

Big businessmen who want to get something done in Washington bypass...
...Boise, Idaho. Though he was only 27, hard-hustling Morrison talked himself into a partnership with 50-year-old Contractor Morris Knudsen in 1912. Their starting capital of $600 in cash was pyramided into a global $500 million-a-year building concern. Among Morrison's construction triumphs: Hoover Dam and portions of the St. Lawrence Seaway...
