...Russia, Carl Carlson, 56, Swedish-born, U. S.-naturalized valet to U. S. Ambassador Joseph E. Davies, learned over the radio that he had won first prize ($150,000) in the Irish Hospital Sweepstakes. Meanwhile, Mr. Davies was unexpectedly received by Joseph Stalin, whom he had never met in his year and a half in Moscow, and with whom he chatted for two hours...
...Communists is a matter of plain geometry. In revolutionary jargon, Communist policy is known as the Party Line, and lately the Party Line has described a neat curve toward democracy. In recent Communist thought Lincoln, Jefferson, and Tom Paine have assumed a stature comparable to that of Joseph Stalin and Vladimir Ilyich Lenin.

R. the loudest voice in International Labor...

Under Article 17 of the new law the Government "shall have the power to punish administratively any conduct which directly or indirectly tends to hurt the prestige of the Nation...
...this week it was Moscow's best opinion that slipping in the Dictator's favor is Defense Commissar Kliment ("Klim") Voroshilov. It has been noticed at Stalin's more recent public appearances that Klim pathetically works overtime striving to appear as much as possible near the Dictator and be seen in conversation with him. "Soso" (Joseph) Stalin has been notably inattentive, even at times visibly short with Klim...
