...lost $2,500,000 because C. I. O. pickets ("armed mobs") had menaced employes, caused suspension of mails, obstructed railroads and highways from its plants, restrained interstate and foreign trade.

Says Gene Towne: "It took an old guy with a beard to make bums...
Year ago the New Republic described bullocky Ernst ("Putzi") Hanfstaengl, onetime Nazi publicist, as "Hitler's boy friend." Last week Putzi, exiled in London, lost a libel suit against Selfridge & Co., department store which sold his secretary a copy containing the article.
