...second band is the Jones Brothers, which I wrote about in regard to Roscoe. Besides playing the right kind of jazz, these boys are really top-notch showmen, and their novelty numbers--which incidentally have been featured with Harry James and Duke Ellington--have that element of spontaneity and life which you'll only find in colored entertainment, and which is sadly lacking in the run-of-the-mill Boston floor show. Last week I went overboard for Roscoe's tenor work. I've heard him several times since then and still haven't eaten my words...
...concern for our democracy can regard this with complacency. At first it was "only the Communists" who suffered from such denials of civil rights--more and more, in the name of national defense, the attack has spread to other minorities, to organized labor, to all groups that speak for peace.

Without regard for enemy mines, submarines, airplanes or shore batteries, the ships lay there and pumped broadside after broadside into Italy's fourth city, her chief merchant port. Over 300 tons of shells flew into docks, warehouses, oil tanks, power stations, supply ships, harbor installations, and into the electric and boiler works of the huge Ansaldo shipbuilding plant. In the whole operation, only one Swordfish was lost. The squadron included the 32,000-ton battle cruiser Renown...
...recently swung themselves over in favor of "short of war" politics, it seems appropriate to harken back to the days when this country took a realistic and far-sighted view of the European turmoil. The Crimson is by no means the only newspaper to lose its balance in regard to the foreign situation although others have effected such a change rather more gradually...
