...stand as the nucleus of a U. S. army to defend the country against Communism. To achieve the first, Bund members are urged to patronize only stores run by Aryans who give members stamps entitling them to a discount relative to the amount they purchase. To achieve the second, Bundsmen have thus far done no more than make impassioned homesick speeches, parade with wooden guns. Sleek Mr. Kuhn, who looks and talks like an embryo Göring, last week failed to lead his organization through its latest crisis. He was in Brussels for an "antiCommunist" meeting with two other...

Never a goalie in his playing days, Patrick allowed the puck to slip by him only once, saved the game. In the third game, with a borrowed goalie, the Rangers...
...troupers doing a two-a-night, the cast of Pins & Needles moved on to Washington's Mayflower Hotel to perform before Madam Secretary Perkins and 1,000 others, in honor of the 25th anniversary of the Department of Labor. At the Mayflower the show went over big a second time. In the audience was William Green, President of the A. F. of L.; conspicuously absent was John L. Lewis, who is at outs with I. L. G. W.
