...signs that President Roosevelt gave last week, he might not have known that the Senate was still engrossed in its Great Debate. Neither oblivious nor negligent, Mr. Roosevelt was simply complying with the admonition laid down by his Senate strategists, Key Pittman and Jimmy Byrnes: "Stay out of the Neutrality fight."

But a detour for Prisoner Beal from North Carolina to Washington made more headlines for Mr. Dies, focused national attention on an episode which shamed U. S. Communists long before Joseph Stalin signed with Adolf Hitler...
