...I.I.U.R.A. came to light in California. Its most publicized agent is a well-fed, well-dressed 52-year-old Rutgers alumnus named George Gouverneur Ashwell, whose headquarters are at 26 O'Farrell St., San Francisco. Its Bible is an anonymous 313-page book called Mankind United. Principal apparent support of I.I.U.R.A. are sales of Mankind United at $2.50 each, on which agents get a 75? commission.

Paradoxically incipient "Hearst" McCullagh has recently had a behind-the-scenes quarrel with Premier Hepburn, but the Globe and Mail continues to support "Mitch" as vociferously as ever. It claims to have heard that desperate C. I. O. thugs from the U. S. are ready to kidnap the Premier's adopted children.
