Medal of Merit awarded to CIO chief Philip Murray sparks critique
In a June 4 dispatch from New York the War Department announced the Medal of Merit for Philip Murray, CIO president, citing wartime labor services. Westbrook Pegler denounces the award as political and urges revision of decorations, linking it to past favoritism and wartime graft involving Stimson Patterson and others. He attacks use of exemptions, cites Joe Curran and Eleanor Roosevelt, and condemns the War Department as a haven for cronyism and fake ranks amid broader antiwar sentiment.
