Abstract

In the Wind
April 1, 1939 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents various political news from various places of the world. Repercussions of Jerry Voorhis's appointment to the Dies committee are already evident. Recently the committee held an executive session, pledging all present to secrecy and barring all reporters. Spurred by the introduction of loosely framed laws to curb "un-American" groups, the Communist Party is quietly hastening its own Americanization. There's one story winch World's Fair publicists are not promoting but which may get headlines soon about the discrimination against Afro Americans seeking World's Fair jobs. Afro Americans' organizations are up in arms over the fact that Negroes are apparently being denied all but menial jobs at the fair.
