...Communist Party." Winchell named no names. But five days later California's Congressman Donald L. Jackson told the tale-solely, as he explained it, to quash "unfounded rumors." Lucille Ball, redheaded star of I Love Lucy and television's current queen of queens, had admitted under oath to having registered as a Communist in a Los Angeles election back...
...August 1950, Russian-born Ben Gold, president of the Red-dominated International Fur and Leather Workers Union, publicly renounced his 30-year membership in the Communist Party. Soon after, he signed the non-Communist oath, which the Taft-Hartley Act requires of all labor leaders whose unions want the all-important services of the National Labor Relations Board.

Nowadays they occasionally get away for a few 'days at Mountainy Pound Club near...
...first, the Department of Agriculture tried getting the ranchers to sign a statement that they could not afford to buy feed at the prevailing price (in the case of cottonseed meal, $66 a ton). But Texas cattlemen refused to put their names to any "pauper's oath." Two days later the ruling was "clarified" so that local relief committees were given broad license to decide who could pay and who could not. The allotments of feed were put on a per-cow basis, with little attention paid to ability to pay. Said Lubbock County Agent D. W. Sherrill...
