...late Robert La Follette Jr., you state that Senators Henry Clay and Armistead T. Mason served in the U.S. Senate at the ages of 29 and 28 respectively. I should like to know how this was possible, since the Constitution of the United States, in Article I, Section 3, paragraph 3, reads: "No person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the age of thirty years . . ." PAUL A. HOFFMAN Chicago ¶The only reason Senators Clay and Mason got away with it is that nobody in the Senate objected. The day Clay took his seat...
...worn figure stepped before the camera. Earl Russell Browder, the deposed chief of U.S. Communists, was to be asked about three of his books (number of copies unknown) found in the U.S. overseas libraries. To show the kind of material in the books, the subcommittee read a Browder paragraph into the record: "There is no way out except by seizing from the capitalists the industries, the banks, and all of the economic institutions and transforming them into the common property of all under the direction of the revolutionary government...

In the end, Perón had to settle for a good deal less than he wanted. The two Presidents signed a protocol pledging negotiation of a treaty within 120 days that should provide for eventual and gradual establishment of a customs union. Bolivia and Peru...
...believes tend to check human improvement. He denounces Communist attempts to control or stifle free scientific research, "not merely because . . . the promising unity of world science has been disrupted, but because a political party has imposed its own dogmatic view of what must be correct . . . " In the next paragraph he denounces "official Catholic pronouncements on birth control and sex relations," not only because they mean frustration and misery and ill-health and ignorance ... for thousands of millions of souls ... They are also wrong because they are asserted absolutely and dogmatically, instead of being conclusions arrived at by free inquiry...
