...Ireland's own Catholic bishops have taken no official stand on the I.R.A. While deploring its anti-British tactics, they, like other Irishmen, publicly approve its ideal of a free, united Ireland. The bishops' position in Eire is so satisfactory, however, that many of them would gladly let well enough alone, despite the plight of the unhappy Catholic minority in Northern Ireland. The most ardent partisans of Irish rebellion are to be found in the U. S., where a great many of the Catholic clergy are of Irish origin. In Manhattan last month, I.R.A. clubs joined other Irish...

Derham gave in and adjusted his trade to the times...

...members gets a job in England as a mechanic, poster painter, motorman; 2) he plants a bomb in a place where it will raise merry hell but probably kill no one; 3) the terrified English people put pressure on the Government; 4) the Government cedes Northern Ireland to Eire; 5) a unified Irish Republic is formed, which will be so anti-British that it will take sides against Britain in the next big war.

...Flying Irishman (RKO Radio) is primarily an attempt to cash in at the box office the fame achieved by Aviator Douglas Corrigan in his famed "wrong way" flight to Ireland last July. Unlike most samples of its genre, it succeeds in being an unusually likable and honest little picture, for Corrigan is one of the worst actors who ever appeared on the screen.
