Ahtl-Seroltlsm cannot be cured by home influence alone ... It must be eradicated In the religious .schools, where It or¬ iginates and Is nursed" . These are strong words, but worth pondering . . Donald Og¬ den Stewart has just completed an anti-Fasctst play so powerful that Broadway producers are afraid to handle it . . , Too hot, and too true . . . Two years ago Secretary Harold L.
