Early last week U. S. headlines, which for months had been mumbling darkly about the prospect of a distant war, suddenly shrilled a new and alarming note: ETHIOPIA PARLEY COLLAPSES. ITALY BARS ALL PEACE TALK. BRITAIN TO ASK U. S. TO HELP CURB WAR. U. S. Charge d'Affaires Ray Atherton had been closeted with British Foreign Secretary Sir Samuel Hoare in London. "Friendly but powerful pressure," wrote a New York Times Paris correspondent, "will come from Great Britain, working through diplomatic, political and press channels to win the U.

...operation that the Press gives a Senate investigation is usually even greater than it receives. In the committee room there is generally a regular system of note passing, as reporters send up questions to help the investigator. Frequently one or more newshawks provide most of the blood and sinew of an inquisition. They not only dig up original facts but stand at the committeeman's elbow helping him with suggestions during the cross examination. Behind Senator Black in the airmail investigation was loud, talkative Fulton Lewis Jr., a Hearstling who two years before had begun to ferret out airmail scandal...
