Harry Hopkins may be almost unkown to millions
of the present generation. If so, be it stated that he
was the White House Raiputin whos obelsance to
Joseph Stalin was largely responsible for Soviet
° Russia's enhancement at our expense, His son‘s name
is David. David, in 1041, was a hustler in the advertis-
ing business along Madison Avenue and in movies in
ollywood. He had much in common with Jimmy and
Eljiott Roosevelt. .

njoyed easy employment on a number of govern
ent payrolls. Lindley, himself, was writing pollti
-" or Newsweek, usually friendly to the regime.
