In Eastern Germany, the Communists have proved themselves as good as the Nazis at that deadly game. Their Freie Deutsche Jugend (Free German Youth) seems like a near-perfect reincarnation of the Hitler Youth.

Under the congressional rules which promote men by seniority instead of ability, Spoilsman McKellar wields immense power. As chairman of the Senate's money-spending machinery, he browbeats and bullies Senators who need his approval for their pet projects. He badgered David Lilienthal because Lilienthal refused to load TVA with McKellar patronage, yelped that ECAdministrator Paul Hoffman ought to resign for the good of the country.
