Taft Subpena Aimed at Gagging CIO Radio War
Senator Taft sought to silence CIO broadcasts and pamphlets in Ohio by subpoenaing Ohio CIO head Jack Kroll over a pamphlet labeling Taft as wanting to do business with Hitler and Hirohito. Kroll defended legality, saying regular CIO funds financed it. Taft faced criticism at Cleveland City Club for opposing Lend Lease, while Pickrel called him an obstructionist.
