The Press: Whammed Again (Cont'd)
Franklin Roosevelt had had his licks at berating the Hearst-Patterson-McCormick newspapers (TIME, Oct. 11). Now came a shot from a second front.
An article in the new, fortnightly War and the Working Class, Soviet trade-union publication, named U.S. Publishers William R. Hearst, Joseph M. Patterson, Robert R. McCormick and Scripps-Howard's Roy W. Howard as "representing reactionary, defeatist, isolationist circles whose anti-Soviet campaign is designed to throw suspicion on Soviet foreign policy." Said War and the Working Class: "They circularize false, fabricated conflicts between the Soviet Union and its allies—a line which fully corresponds to the interests of Hitler's agents who are speculating on disruption. . . ."
War and the Working Class gave thoroughgoing approval to the New York Herald Tribune and PM.
