Quizzed on his fascistic Silvershirts, he boasted that his Legion had 25,000 members. Among his supporters he named John Richard Brinkley of Del Rio, Tex., goateed doctor who has made a fortune selling goat glands to impotent but hopeful men. Doc Brinkley lent him $5,000, said Mr. Pelley. His Legion, founded in 1933, "began propagandizing against the same things that this [the Dies] committee set out to expose," he confided smoothly, while the Committee glared and squirmed...
Prime Minister Chamberlain lent seriousness to Great Britain's antispy campaign by announcing in Parliament that his Government is considering drastic steps to keep information from the enemy. The Ministry of Information last week lent gaiety to this campaign. For distribution throughout the land it published a series of posters designed to make talkative Britons "tongue conscious." They show a furtive, ubiquitous little Adolf Hit ler, pencil & paper in hand, listening in to British conversations everywhere: curled up under a bus seat, in a luggage rack, against a telephone booth, under a restaurant table...

RFC, which lent MOP $23,134,800 to keep above water, and now has an additional $8,630,000 interest claim, gets $25,994,000 in bonds, the balance in cash and preferred stock. Holders of senior bonds get niggling amounts of cash, trade in the balance of their bonds for new MOP's prime security, ten-year collateral trust notes. Some junior bonds...
