...Joachim Rehse, 64, a member of Hitler's highest political tribunal, was sentenced to five years in jail for levying "unjustifiable death sentences." As a judicial consultant to the People's Court from 1941 to 1945, Rehse lived up to the letter of Nazi law, which called upon the courts to act "not as men of justice whose eyes are masked. The court must view the idea and purposes of the state leadership as primary, and the fate of human beings as secondary...
Fogbrooms came upon the scene just as New Jersey officials were beginning to despair of ever finding a practical fog-dispersal system for their highways. Giant fans installed several years ago along the New Jersey Turnpike to blow fog away instead seemed to draw more into the area. Propane jets, used successfully to clear fog around Paris' Orly Airport, would be prohibitively costly to install along miles of highway.

And most important, no one can clamp restraints upon the national chairman and his executive committees during the two years between conventions. In other words, now that the 1961 convention is over, there is no way for YR delegates to prohibit McDonald from using the National Federation, its name, contacts, funds, in order to further his own personal interests...
Several weeks ago the CNC began canvassing working class areas whch were covered by Vote weeks before. The question came up in a CNC policy meeting whether to establish formal relations with Vote and agree upon a division of labor between the two groups to prevent double canvassing. Walzer, the head of CNC, urged "no relations whatsoever" with Vote and that policy was adopted. He brought up the role of PL in Vote in such a way that many of his own group criticized him severely for red baiting...
