Mitsuru Toyama is the dictator of Japan's network of secret societies. With fronts as dignified as chapters of the D. A.

The master society, which Toyama founded, is called the Black Dragon Society, significantly after Chinese ideographs for the Amur River, between Manchukuo and Russia. Affiliated with it in various ways are groups with such names as the Jimmu Society (after Japan's first Emperor), the National Foundation Society, the Spirited World Society, the Native Land Loving School...

"Yes, I swear it," he replied, but slyly managed to dot-dash from his station a warning to Carol II that his only chance was to run the gantlet of the Iron Guard...
Because the original Monmouth Park has long since been carved into house lots, Horseman Haskell & associates plan to buy tumble-down Elkwood Park, Monmouth's neighbor and chief competitor in the old days, since used at one time or another for auto racing, Ku Klux Klan rallies and county fairs. To its mile track they expect to add $1,200,000 worth of landscaping, grandstands and stables, make the new Monmouth worthy of its name when it opens next June...
