With a trowel once wielded by that eminent revolutionist, George Washington, Franklin D. Roosevelt' last week laid the cornerstone for a new Washington building which will house one of the President's favorite government bodies, the Federal Trade Commission. During most of its life the commission was housed in a scrubby Wartime structure on Constitution Avenue, a fact which the President said aroused his "deepest sympathy." The commission's new quarters, to be ready early next year, will be part of the vast new triangular pile of Government buildings on Pennsylvania and Constitution Avenues, halfway between...
Harry Bridges' entrance into C. I. O. may raise another problem for John Lewis. That is the fact that though Harry Bridges is no revolutionist, millions of people think he is.

"* Mexico is today the only major Latin-American state whose Government admires Big Reds...
Trotsky & Trotskyism, Lev Davidovich Bronstein was born 57 years ago in the Ukraine of peasant parents so prosperous that today in Russia they would be exterminated as kulaks. At only 19, this brilliant little Jew was already in the custody of Tsarist police as a revolutionist of mark. Bronstein's various escapes from Siberia were always theatrically brilliant, in contrast to the methodical escapes at the same period of Djhugashvili who is now called Stalin. Bronstein, when Tsarist Russia finally got too hot for him, escaped on a forged passport in which he whimsically gave himself the name...
