In his seven years of office, he had been forced only five times to call upon the Taft-Hartley law's injunctive machinery against strikes threatening the national interest. To him, the necessity of using Taft-Hartley could only result from the failure of collective-bargaining procedures, in which he deeply believes.

And two C.P.P. men-the only...
Worst aspect is that more and more of the victims are gullible citizens of underdeveloped countries. Thirsting for status-by-schooling, they assume that any U.S. school advertising itself abroad is Government-approved. They save their coppers, lunge at the bait and get hooked.
