...remain outside? Stockyards mean unions, and unions mean possible Communists. One Party man on the Harvard Faculty might soon provide an opening for the Dies wedge, one radical on a magazine grounds for an expose.

Newspapers have become for him an instrument of blackmail--a Roman Forum from which he can read his list of proscription...
...Columbia River's Bonneville Dam. (But Administrator Paul Raver boasted last week at the White House that demand for Bonneville power is currently twice its output.)

Alan Gray Holmes's stock company has made an attempt to give the play that added novelty of interpretation, and has in part succeeded. What success the production has attained can be attributed almost solely to Erford Gage, director-actor, who gives every indication of crashing into the big leagues before long...
