| NEW YORK, - Having been positively loen-
titled as crook with criminal record and ex-
posed as an audacious imposter, the lell-Ming
POLITICAL exhorter of the radio VINO cans MINI
self William S. Gailmor has rebounded with
the nirnble effrontery that has been cnarac-
terstic of the communists in similar exposes
Of similar duplicity during the career OF the
Dies committee
Galmor. whose name was William Mssgo-
lis until he was caught stealing an automo-
bile his fifth theft of the kind, not only as
sumes the role OF martyr, prosecuted Tor his
political beliefs AMI associations but pre-
sumes to lecture American service men SUI
| fering from mental disturbances due to pat
tie experiences, in the status OF one VINO mas
suffered comparably and won some great IN
ner fight. By what process such man could
| be selected for this service, considering that
he is only "a years old and 200 pounder, he
and his apologists of the communist propa-
ganda front do not fully explain but, far from
discarding so glib expounder OF the line,
they are now measuring him for the heroic
lhabliments of such serviceable stooges as Fred
E. Beale and the Scottsboro boys.
Gaimor's sponsor is the Electronc Corpora
ton of America which employs 300 workers
in the manufacture of war equipment for the
government, much of it secret, and appears
to have grown and prospered greatly under
government patronage since the European con-
flict ceased to be war OF British and French
imperialism and became a war for the sur
vival of Democracy.
Democracy. it should be understood, has be-
come the current euphemism for communism
among the covert propagandists of the far left
who never attack communism but constantly do
attack fascism And fascism, it should be fur
Their understood, is roomy term which in
cludes all opposition to communism and the
stealthy elements of dictatorship in Amer-
can domestic affairs.
Having received word through the grape
vine which now operates in radio and in the
newspaper and communication businesses, that
he about to be exposed convicted
thief and imposter, Gailmoz, or Margois, hur-
red to the office Of the Blue network to am
pity the routine personal pedigree which he
had given himself when he was hired. He had
forgotten to mention that he had a police rec
ord and wished to correct that oversight now
and it was obviously impossible for him to
approve communism because he was deeply
religious individual, having. in fact, been edu-
Gated for religious career. This latter in
formation amended his original dosser on him
self in which he had said that he had ceased
to proctice his religion.
The next night, speaking for Electronic over
station WIZ under the auspices Of the Blue
network, Galmor's lecture on the fallacies
and errors Of British policy in opposing COM
munism in countries liberated by British and
American fighters, drifted into the trade jar
gon of the psychiatric takers. He depicted Brit
ain as victim of neurosis Of which it was to
be hoped she would be cured to such effect
that her policy would conform to his preach
ing and then broke into his personal story.
He, too, it seemed had been made well and
with dramatic misquotation from Shakes
peare, barred his breast to the sling and ar
rows which he knew to be in type at that
hour awaiting publication next day.
His side of the case would be made avail
able an antidote to the Fascist poison
through the publishing facilities OF Marshal
Field simultaneously with the expose.
In this connection it should be recalled that
through the same facilities OF Marshall Field,
Gailmor had been saluted cordially with an
announcement of his engagement by Electronic,
WIZ and the Blue network In that 1audatory
essay purporting to review Gailmor's life and
facts soon to be revealed and presented a
fraudulent picture of the faker. Not only that,
but Mr. Fields writer declared that when he
and Gailmor worked together on the broadcast
desk of the New York Daily News, preparing
material for an hourly neWs-summary, Gail
NOR ola MS pest 10 sabotage the Daily NEWS
editorial policies" between times. This policy |
had been resounding pro American and anti
fourth-term
When confronted with this exultant boast of
sabotage by man hired to prepare legti-
mate news for the American public, Gailmor
denied it.
The plain facts of Galmor's case are that +,
he was a glib and precocious study-boy with
an unconquered aversion to physical toll who
preferred to lecture, admonish and influence
those who do work and that he thief
without the excuse Of poverty, ignorance or
squald background. He had enjoyed many ad-
vantages, was receiving decent salary and
stole automobiles simply because he was a
thief Then, having been caught and indicted
for grand larceny in the first degree, serious
crime he appealed to psychiatry for an excuse
which would soften his punishment and by
good pleading, got away with it on tn e
ground that he had been upset mentally by
quarrels with his wife over their bills.
BY this time, he has thoroughly convinced
himself and some officials of the Blue net
work, that he was not guilty of any crime but,
at worst, guilty of an illness of which he has
been cured by probation and psychiatric treat
