WAR & PEACE: Record Sandwich
WAR & PEACE Record Sandwich
When the U. S. Senate convened last week, New Hampshire's Republican Tobey asked consent to have Colonel Charles Augustus Lindbergh's recent radio plea for isolated neutrality printed in the Congressional Record. Because Congress had yet to hear Franklin Roosevelt on active neutrality (see p. 11), Senator Tobey had to wait, finally got Charles Lindbergh into the Record two pages ahead of the President.
Columnist Eleanor Roosevelt then let herself in for a public panning. She wrote: "Are we going to think only of our skins and our own pockets?"
Quoting that line without naming its author, Scripps-Howard Columnist Raymond Clapper sizzled: "I think it is very much to the point to be thinking of our skins—at least to be thinking of those American families whose sons would have to risk their skins." Into the Congressional Record went the Clapper column, six pages after Franklin Roosevelt.
