Last week U. S. editors, pondering the various shapes that censorship might take if it comes to the U. S., were jolted from their guessing game by an actual example -from Canada. Canada's Minister of Munitions abruptly announced in the Canadian Parliament that "the No. 1 saboteur in Canada since the beginning of this war is the Financial Post of Toronto." The Post-as pro-British as any publication going-is Canada's top business weekly. Munitions Minister Clarence Decatur Howe is one of Canada's most powerful men. Behind the Post-Howe feud...
Busy but discreetly mum were black-browed John Edgar Hoover and his FBIndians. Months ago they warned U.

Until they could nab an active saboteur, they had to keep their evidence to themselves. Up to last week, they had apparently nabbed none. Not thus inhibited was Martin Dies.

John Beckett, militant pacifist and nuisance (he once tried to steal the Speaker's mace in the House of Commons); Germany's master spy and saboteur in World War I, Captain Franz von Rintelen...
...week Civil Aeronautics Authority's crash board issued a post-mortem (in advance of official reports): a rag in the air intake had choked off the Q.E.D.'s breath. Crash Board Member Carl B. Allen hastened to add that sabotage was out of the question because no saboteur could so plant a rag as to gum the works at a crucial moment. How it got there remained any man's guess. Some guesses: 1) the propeller whisked it off the ground into the intake; 2) a careless grease-monkey left it near the intake; 3) sabotage...
