...leaders of the American Federation of Labor are no hotheads. Last week at their convention in Tampa they resolved against "Communism, Fascism and Naziism" but refused to express sympathy for Spain's embattled workers. They registered protest against Yale University for ousting a pinko Divinity professor but declined to boycott the publications of William Randolph Hearst. They stamped approval on a scheme for Federal licensing of industry to regulate wages & hours, but brushed aside the question of a Constitutional Amendment to make it possible. They plumped for the 30-hour week but shied away from talk of curbing...
Stiffest intervention of the week came from Adolf Hitler. In Germany every newsorgan wrathfully published news that Reds of Barcelona affiliated with the Spanish Government had slain four Germans who were hailed as "Nazi Martyrs." In vain pinko-red French newspapers insisted that the four slain men were Socialists who had fled from Germany to Spain to escape Nazi persecution.

"One of the first lessons he had learned from his German mentor was the importance of terrorizing the faculties of colleges and universities."-Carlson & Bates. "Since his German trip, Hearst has been very preoccupied with students."- Lundberg...
Labor Party. The Ladies Garment Workers of pinko David Dubinsky, the United Textile Workers who put on a savage strike last year under bellicose Francis J. Gorman, a number of Federal and local unions plus the State Federations of Utah, Wisconsin and Oregon have all gone on record for an out & out Labor Party to put up a united Labor front at the ballot boxes. But the policy of Boss William Green and most of his lieutenants has been that of a ward leader: "Reward your friends and punish your enemies." At last week's meeting President Green squashed...
