Ironically enough, Mr. Flynn uses the Marxian devil theory of history to make his point. Because the Communists won out in China he assumes that someone in Washington must be guilty of conspiracy and treason. Franklin D. Roosevelt becomes Devil Number One and is pictured as both a raging-power-crazy-world-dictator and a senile piece of flotsam at the same time. Devil Number Two includes the N.Y.

Visitors (among them Errol Flynn) and customers, spending a relaxed Saturday evening at Konomi's Hot Springs, thought nothing of getting a bill of $100 or more. It was, in short, as one well-scrubbed G.I. said last week, "the damnedest bath I ever had in my life...
