This is so, because according to every other indication, there is no Communist on the Faculty. If the Senator refers to Wendell Furry, he is belied by Furry's sworn statement, which he repeated before McCarthy, that he has not been a Communist for at least two years. If Furry is the source of "Communist philosophy," then McCarthy's charge is contrary to the Corporation's statement that Furry "has at no time let his affiliation with the Party influence his teaching nor has he otherwise tried to influence the political thinking of his students."

Before the court's next recess, it will probably have to dispose of more than 1,200 cases. Most explosive on the list: five cases challenging the constitutionality of segregation in public schools.

President George Meany on a trip to see Extortionist Fay, hadn't spoken a word during the visit. Although...
Trouble Insurance. Lewis, it turned out, had run Yonkers Raceway as though he owned it. The management meekly agreed to hire hoodlums and ex-convicts brought in by Lewis and ignored the state law requiring sworn affidavits outlining their backgrounds. In the three years that Yonkers Raceway has been operating, the management also shelled out $165,000 to four labor "troubleshooters." The payoffs were made to prevent "labor disturbances" which might close the track...
