"We have never to the best of our knowledge reviewed a book by a communist in any of our publications, nor do we intend to do so. Our intention is clearly indicated in the stated policy of our national board of directors, which reads: "^'Each book should be judged on the merit of its content, with tie provision that if the author is a person known to ns to stand for a philosophy or ideology inconsistent with the Constitution of .the-, United States, or in contravention of Congressional enactment, we will not review the book, film, or play in any of our publications.'

Mr. Hamer stated that he greatly appreciates the honor conferred upon him in receiving the nomination and the action of the Democratic central committee in certifying his name as the party's choice. However, because of his years of affiliation with the Republican party, as well as that of members of his family, and their efforts in behalf of its cause, he could not in good conscience accept the nomination. Mr. Hamer was the unsuccessful candidate for the Republican nomination and white he did not seek the Democratic nomination he received the same by a writein vote. V, To all citizens of this community: Undoubtedly, by this time you have read one or more articles in the larger newspapers about the American Legion withdrawing their support of the Girl Scout movement. Some of the editorials were fairly correct; however, several of thefn~-~4istorted the truth to a point beyond cognition. When the American Legion of Illinois at its 36th annual contention in Chicago. Aug. 5 to 8, adopted a resolution deploring certain un-American influences manifest in the 1953 handbook 'f the Girl Scouts of America, it was NOT attacking the rank and file of Girl Scouts, who are good, wholesome American girls. The implication that the Legion was denouncing the entire Girl Scout movement, as was said in many editorials and radio commentaries, has no foundation in fact. Irving Breastone of Chicago, IUblois Legion department com- TIIREAT OF POISON A warning to Illinois farmers against the danger of livestock being poisoned by eating white snake root and hemp, also known as the Great Lobelia, has been issued by the state Department of Agriculture.
