c person recently itemed here as c menace ... The controversy, we are told, is still raging because he was allowed to speak A pro- lessor is quoted as saying: "Win- chell must be dealt with" .. Several detectives attended the lec- ture An assistant told one of the piainclothes men: This man (the lecturer) is as good as Lin- coin" .... Two gangs Of toughs, followers of the speaker, went there to see that no one caused any trou. ble for him F. Working close to c prc>,ssor ct Columbia is e man, who.-according to conclusive tes- timony given before Q Congressional Committee-waS arrested in Bel- giunn as 6 Nazi spy before he came to this country It looks as though all concerned at the Uni- versity are taking over where the recently indicted Nazi Auhagen took off.
 The Salt Lake City (Utah) Tri- bune editorials in part: "Walter Winchell, the implacable and out- spoken foe of Fifth Columnists, warns Mothers of America that Na2i propagandists are hiding be- hind the skirts of many estimable women of the United States and inducing them to join certain ele- ments in opposition to the Lend- Lease Bill Hitler wants 1t killed. Mussolini wants 1t killed. Stalin wants 1t killed. Browder wants 1t killed. Fritz Kuhn, the Bund leader, wants 1t killed. Laval wants 1t killed. Every betrayer of his country in Europe wants the Lend-Lease Bill killed. Are they actuated by sympathetic concern for the mothers and sons of Amer ica?"
 Editorial in the Mount Airy ~. O. Times titled: "Winchelps Blith- CT" Some time ago we print cd an editorial giving praise to the columnist for his activities in the promotion of democratic stand ards and the exposure of un-Amer- ican acts. This editorial received considerable comment and we have not heard the last of 1t. We re- ceived letter the other day, bear. Ing a clipping from Seattle, men, tioning our editorial, and over 1t was the signature of man from Montana. He added: Pure bunk, Winchell's blither should not be permitted on the air. It stinks' [. We don't at all agree. For one thing Winchell Is making Q sincere and determined effort to remove cer. tain dangers which threaten this country. He is doing this in the best way he can. We don't think such actions could be classified as stinking, or the way in which they are expressed be nominated as blither. They are far too import ant to all of us to call forth such criticism.
 That is the trouble with 50 many people. Taking exception to another person they automatically criticize all the activities of this other per- son without respect to their value. That IS what the Montana critic has done. When, if ever, the time comes that America has no men to point out her dangers and her enemies as Winchell is doing, then is the time for all of us to worry.
