...been getting a flood of Communist-front literature in the course of his church work, helped to organize a group known as the Cambridge Youth Council. Almost at once, he spotted Reds in the fold. He took his suspicions to the FBI, was asked to stick with it and keep the FBI informed. Two years later, he was a member of the Young Communist League, from 1944 on a member of the Communist Party. The FBI paid his expenses: party dues, the cost of renting a recording machine on which he dictated some of his regular reports...
Life was simple and uncomplicated in the dairyland village of Bonduel, Wis., and the oldtimers wanted to keep it that way. They saved their money, got along without movies, debated the state of the world at daily card games in the town's nine taverns. At every spring election since 1936 about 90 of the town's 700 citizens turned out to vote, and re-elected big, square-set John Froelich the village president...
...secrets are hard to keep in Bonduel. The oldsters soon realized what was up, and campaigning began in earnest. Hot Rod made a speech: "Some of these Bonduel people must have been born old.

A case in point is China's Mao Tse-tung, who is currently being sold to the U.S. as the Tito of Asia by Authors...
...Oppressed Redskins. For more than an hour, Russia's bland, hulking Delegate Yakov A. Malik tried to keep the inquiry off the agenda. The case of the "Traitor Mindszenty," he argued, was of concern to Hungary only; the U.S. attempt to bring it before the Assembly was merely a move by the "ruling circles [of America] to boss other people around in their own homes." Moreover, cried Malik, the U.S. was trying to cover up its own sins of oppression, the trials of "political [Communist] leaders," the lynching of Negroes and the "pitiful plight" of the American Indians...
