From News Desk to Kerry and Kennedy Notes
A mixed column tracks postwar concerns about Communism raised by Wanda Jones in a 1947 letter to Sen. Connally. It records congressional measures to identify Communists, loyalty screenings for government staff, and labor-bill provisions restricting former Communists from unions. The piece also covers Bob Hope receiving a congressional gold medal for entertaining troops and quotes Hope on education and service, ending with a recipe note about a dessert.
