...known Communists and their dupes, who have threatened us and are still threatening us. We need this or a similar organization just as laboring men needed their unions-to protect ourselves against injustice. Not every labor leader is a paragon of justice, any more than every employer is a Simon Legree. Our association believes in working through law enforcement agencies, and that the laws relative to assault, battery, destruction of property, and violence of all other kinds should apply equally to everybody, including labor goons as well as all others who break...
Like any typical Paris sculpture show of the 19303, Director Valentin's U. S. exhibition was long on abstractions and elephantoid nudes, short on frock-coat portraits and winsome nymphs (exceptions: Simon Moselsio's sloe-eyed Nude, John B.

It was Report on England: November, 1940 (Simon & Schuster; $1.50), expanded from a series of newspaper stories written by Ralph McAllister Ingersoll, editor of Manhattan's afternoon tabloid, PM. He flew to Britain last fall, spent two weeks listening to air-raid alarms, looking at shelters, talking with newsmen, firemen, doctors, pilots, officials -including Winston Churchill, Ernest Bevin. Then he flew home...
