...from Minneapolis, there grew up the son of a wholesale grocer who was the victim of two apparently irreconcilable ambitions-to be a minister and to make moving pictures. His name was James Friedrich. For two years at the University of Minnesota young Friedrich was a 16 mm. movie bug, ran the Bell & Howell camera supply agency. Still resolved to be a minister, he transferred to the Protestant Episcopal Theological Seminary at Alexandria, Va. There pious, cinemad James Friedrich set a precedent by writing his doctor's thesis (on the life of St. Paul) in the form...
...Soviet hosts. Working long after midnight in the Kremlin two nights running, Premier Molotov and the German Foreign Minister, with J. Stalin sitting in, again redrew the map of Poland (see map). They moved last fortnight's provisional "Military Division" far eastward from the Vistula River to the Bug. Racially the population on the swastika side is almost purely Polish, on the hammer & sickle side it is nearly all of Ukrainian or White Russian blood. Thus the new "Permanent Boundary" is drawn on broad ethnographic lines. It was embodied in a mealy-mouthed Protocol of Friendship signed...
...Bug-eyed Jewish Comedian Eddie Cantor made a personal appearance at Pittsburgh's First Baptist Church, preached on Christianity and Democracy. Excerpt: "Christianity and Democracy go hand in hand.

...financial "angels" were identified by bug-eyed, mustachioed Alexander Trachtenberg, a naturalized Russian who manages Communist publishing and propaganda outfits in Manhattan. One was Miss Anna Rochester, a worker for the Labor Research Association in Manhattan, whom Witness Trachtenberg respectfully described as "a very wealthy woman." The other was a retired New Jersey manufacturer (of compressed oxygen), named Abraham A. Heller, who got into the news 20 years ago as "the millionaire Bolshevist," still contributes liberally to Communist ventures. "He is a very wealthy man," said admiring Mr. Trachtenberg. "And a member of the Communist Party?" ejaculated scornful Mr. Dies...
...Warsaw thought it had actually thrown the Germans back. Part of the Army fighting in the narrow pocket to the west of the capital, between the German pincers, fell back into the city, joining the defenders. To the north, Modlin fortress fell and a German force crossed the Bug River east of Warsaw, cutting off retreat. From the southwest, the German drive swung eastward past Radom, crossed the Vistula. Warsaw was surrounded. Once again it faced its historic fate. For ten times Warsaw had been taken by an invader-the last time on August 5, 1915, when Mackensen...
