He ini Radio News Service 7/3/46 Petrlllo*s Threat Regarded As Revolt Against Government ( ^Washington Star11) If it were not for the background against which it was made, the undisguised effort by James C. ?etrlllo to coerce the Judgment of the Supreme Court could be brushed aside as the ranting of a man made reckless by the prospective loss of some of his dict¬ atorial powers. But the background is there, and it cannot be ignored,* * * * Whether he realizes it or not, Mr. Petrillo is threaten¬ ing a revolt against the Government.

Including engraving time, the Mirror was "out" with a front page spread of the knockout about one and onehalf hours after it occurred. Both papers* photographic departments had experimented for two weeks on the techniques of photographing the pictures on a television screen. XXXXXXXXXX 14
