...scouring of the subversive underworld, rawboned Martin Dies of Texas, First Whip of the Red Hunting pack, never put on the stand a real, live, honest-to-goodness Communist. At his House Committee on Un-American Activities hearing last week in Washington he could have reached out and touched one: wispy, unobtrusive Earl Browder, general secretary (at $40 a week) of the Communist Party, its 1936 Presidential candidate...
...trace of un-neutrality has shown in any Kennedy speech. Whatever his private views of Naziism, he has never sounded them from any platform he mounted as a U. S. official. Repeatedly he warned Great Britain against the easy belief that the U. S. "can be had." In his first speech as Ambassador, at the Pilgrims dinner in London in March 1938, he stated the view he has consistently maintained since, that the U.

S. Senate. In vanquishing un-American influences from rich and poor, Lem has to knock a few heads together, but mainly he relies on talk. If Abe Lincoln had been half the man Lem Schofield was, it is plain that the U. S. would never have fought a Civil...
More and more bitter did the board chairman become. Suddenly from Victoria Stables rang a most un-British sound: a revolver shot, then another. White-faced, a clerk ran to the street shouting: "Something terrible has happened." To a hospital in Aberdeen went Board Secretary William Macintosh, shot in the head, and Director Bailie W. McDougall Gordon, senior magistrate of Peterhead, shot in the leg. To jail went gun-toting Board Chairman Anderson...
