Joseph F. Dinneen a reporter on the Boston Globe and author of "Ward Eight" and the articles "Murder in Massachusetts" and "The Kingfish of Massachusetts," which recently appeared in Harpers Magazine, will be the guest of honor at the weekly House Dinner on Monday. After dinner he will take in the Upper Commen Room on "A Realistic Approach to Local Politics". Outside guests are welcome to the speech...

The Governor has been called a "cheap imitation of Huey Long", but he may turn out to be an extremely expensive imitation of the late lamented Kingfish if Massachusetts voters fail to take warning from the signs that now point to a future government that will be fascistic in all but name...
