...decision was made in the case of Polish-born U.S. Citizen Max Shachtman, 51, onetime friend and agent of Leon Trotsky, national chairman of a U.S. leftist faction: the anticapitalist, anti-Soviet Independent Socialist League. In 1953 Shachtman applied for a passport in order to get material for articles and lectures. During months of tilting with the State Department, he was granted an interview, refused a formal hearing before the Board of Passport Appeals and refused the passport itself.

The settlement at Ford should help supply the answer. The principal factor in Ford's decision was its desire to stay out in front in the race for mastery of the low-price automobile field. Reuther avoided the slogans of class warfare that were so much a part of the union's formative years two decades ago. The company was equally careful not to maneuver itself into...
...Monarchists, an absolute majority. For the Communists, who had been answering losses in northern Italy with the claim that they were gaining in the south, the setback was sharp. They not only failed to gain, but even dropped some 17,000 votes since the 1953 general election. The Communist-Socialist bloc, however, held its 30 seats because.
