...Amending Game. There are two to five million people illegally in the U.S. right now, he cried. D.P.s would add to unemployment, take housing away from veterans, jeopardize the economy (actually, veteran and labor organizations were behind the bill). Besides, said McCarran, there would be only 11,000 "real" displaced persons left by June; the rest were "criminals, the diseased and those who cannot possibly take care of themselves...
Blue-eyed, brunette Ellen Raphael Knauff, 35, is the German-born war bride of a U.S. Army combat veteran. She is also an anti-Nazi who fled Germany and served as a wartime sergeant in the British WAAF.

Last January, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the exclusion order without requiring the Department of Justice...

In a few years the boy whose physique had barred him from strenuous sports was spending long weeks wandering over the sheer Cascades, sometimes toting...
...authors (both veteran newsmen) have failed to meet the minimum standards of a search for the truth. The first half of the book--dealing with the pre-1948 activities of Hiss and Chambers--falls down for the simple reason that the authority for most of the information is one man: Whittaker Chambers. A Federal jury in New York accepted Chambers' testimony in convicting Hiss of perjury; this writer does not challenge the verdict. But the jury's decision does not mean that one must accept on faith every statement that Chambers had made in and out of court...
