"The litter patients were carried in and

Fight for America. (Devin-Adair,
New York. 1952) is a catalogue
of facts and claims that rival in
number those of Sears-Roebuck's
spring edition. He has compiled
100 pages of facts about McCarthy,
and about most of the people
he has charged during his first
two years as a Communist hunter
(1950-52). There is nothing that
you could not have read pre
viously in the press or nearo on
the radio. But as a compact sum
mary, it should serve as a bible
for hundreds of thousands oi gooo
Americans who are McCarthy sup
porters. For many others, this
fifty-cents, eight by eleven inch,
paper-bound piece is likely to go
the way of many a Sears-Roebuck
creation.
It is a book of McCarthy's an
swers to everyone, with a format
consisting of an imaginary inter
view. The Senator says, ". . . they
have been unable to find a single
item of evidence that is untrue.'
He is Drobably correct But I be

You will sav you wish you knew

withstanding, there is only One
who knows the truth about any

So in our mortal and democratic
society we follow a system of due
process based on the humane as
sumption that man is innocent un

and thoughtful jury. But Senator
McCarthy and his staff (to whom
this book is dedicated) feel they

When winners of Pulizer Prizes

to see the cartoon. "Aftermath,"
selected for high honors in that
division.
Two soldiers bearing a dead
buddy down a hillside in the
snow were depicted. Thefirst said,
"Wonder if he voted?" The otner
answered, "No, he wasn't old

Artist Edward D. Kuckes of the
Cleveland Plain Dealer had, it
is true, dramatically presented a
leading controversy. The voting
age question is always a good
topic for promoting a heated dis
cussion.
That is because a lot of young
bloods think that they know what
elections are all about and if their
parents are watching them go off
to war they readily concur. Thus
it becomes a battle of the emotion
