Election Night Crowds Fill The Star Area And The Post Office Lawn
A massive election night crowd filled Walnut Street and surrounding areas in front of The Star building and the Post Office lawn.

The piece also includes a column by James Thrashser arguing that convicting top American Communists would not end American communism, discussing legal and political implications and the Mundt-Nixon bill.
