Satirical column notes coups and conspiracies in a crowded city page
The piece scatters between a cancer society meeting at the Astor with atom scientists and a parallel upstairs gathering of casket manufacturers. It rails at Congress for weakly addressing the Communist party, labeling foreign agents as a military threat and calling for a wake up to saboteurs. It then offers a satirical Broadway ballad snipe about Don Tooting and a weary poet lost in gloom and romantic misfortune.
