Next day, with his report and dozens of photographs-including one of his Ford refueler flat on its back three miles from Fairbanks-he stepped briskly up the steps of the Soviet Embassy to discourage further search, to ask for $25,000 compensation for his wrecked ship.

Later Johnny Ritter, smallest but reputedly most "heavy-footed" of doodlebug racers, did the same thing.

Readers who read beyond this purple lead were told more soberly that Bund leaders in more than 60 camps (chiefly near New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco) do not actually plot a revolution, but plan "to wrest control from the Communist-Jews when they start their revolution.'' The Times's investigators said that each Bund post has its select uniformed force "drilled in the goose step and . . . ready for any emergency," and that the policies of the Bund weeklies duplicate those of the Hitler-controlled press. No direct evidence connected the Bund with the German...
