SAYS RADIO IN POWER OF GOVERNMENT
Declaring "the time has come again when those of us who would undertake to save the "four freedomes” and all the others not mentioned in the Atlantic Charter and on the home front better realize what we are up against and fighting for, in comparison, so far as loss of liberty is concerned, Representative Charles A, Plumley, ( R. ) , of Vermont, paid his respects to the New Deal in a lengthy speech Thursday.
