Critics Rail Against Roosevelt Fourth Term Hopes
In the final campaign hours critics argue the New Deal myth of an indispensable leader collapses without war. They fault Roosevelt in diplomacy and in what they call higher military strategy, citing the Atlantic Charter’s abandonment and Soviet moves in Europe. They recount Truman’s Klansman affiliate controversy and question New Deal loyalties while noting China’s stalemate and U.S. wartime delays.

Parole system in Texas history a religiously bound practice
A historical account describes how Texans used paroling prisoners during early struggles for independence. Because most Mexicans were Catholic, officials required an oath bound to religious symbols. Crude crucifixes were crafted from sticks to administer the pledge, after which parolees were released. The method aimed to reduce guard needs but proved ineffective as paroles led to returning to combat.
