...full of corn as a silo. Dear Mom recounts the adventures of an addlepated rookie named Homer Stubbs, and his highborn pal Red Foster, son of a factory owner, who helps him badger a tough top-sergeant called Monihan. Devised by stocky, moon-faced Robert Newton Brown, CBS program director, and writer W. Ray Wilson, Dear Mom is supervised by Major Frank Collins, a morale officer on the executive staff of the 6th Corps Area. The program whips into a description of the joys of camp life, introduces Homer scratching away at a letter to his mother. Its first episode...

As his swan song, Architect Joseph Urban added an even more fabulous workroom-a round, soundproof, redwood-paneled tour de force resembling a swanky silo. There Katharine Brush settled down at a 15-foot semicircular desk to turn out more novels, short stories, scenarios of the sort that had made her one of the highest-paid U. S. female novelists and the glamor girl of U. S. letters...
...liberal Episcopal Churchman. Mr. Caswell thus stated a dilemma which bothers many a religious liberal. It was posed for him last month by a Nazi Bund rally on Washington's Birthday in Manhattan's Madison Square Garden. That rally loudly cheered Adolf Hitler and Rev. Charles Edward ("Silo Charlie") Coughlin, loudly booed President Roosevelt ("Rosenfeld" to Bund speakers). Ejected from the meeting was Pundit Dorothy Thompson, who laughed shrilly at a speaker's citation of the Golden Rule. The rally was perfectly legal, and Bund-sters' freedom of speech was protected by police. All this moved...
