...York Post thinks so much of columnists that it runs 15 of them. All of them fit comfortably into the Post's political frame: New Dealism. Even so, the Post last week found the opinions of two of its top columnists, Dorothy Thompson and Edgar Ansel Mowrer, more than it could bear. The offending pair were thereupon taken to task by Post Editor Ted O. Thackrey. In a hotly phrased, 1,000-word, two-column blast, Editor Thackrey wrote with the air of a man asking himself: is this what I have been publishing...
...other target was hit even harder. Columnist Mowrer had accused the Vatican of "supporting fascism against democracy" before the war, and wanted to know the future political designs of U.S. Roman Catholics.

...loudest, most pained outbursts came from the President's own most ardent supporters. Those who had campaigned vigorously for Term IV on the basis of Roosevelt's foreign policy were suddenly ready to concede his fallibility. Cried the New Dealing New York Post's Edgar Ansel Mowrer: "Mr. Roosevelt's expediencies and compromises, his postponements of questions and evasions of issues are coming home to plague him from a dozen places-Britain, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Greece, Bulgaria, Poland, etc. Yet still unrepentantly he wisecracks, he postures, he ducks, he does everything but come clean and tell...
