PegIer W,

HAVING been positively iden-
- tilted as a crook with a
criminal record and exposed as
an audacious imposter, the left
wing political exhorter of the
radio who calls himself Will
liam S. Gailmor, has re-
bounded with the nimble eff
frontery that has been charac-
teristic of the Communists in
similar exposes of similar du-
plicity during the career Of the
Dies committee.

William Margolis until he was
caught stealing an automobile,
his fifth theft of the kind, not
