    Magazine. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Offered is the January 1989 issue (Vol. VI No. 1) of "The Warbler ('IT SINGS!')" edited by "Publius Ultracrepidus" (Philip Siegelman) and published by The Pumpkin Papers Irregulars out of Berkeley, California. Most likely issued once per year, a stapled magazine measuring 7" by 8-1/2" and containing 24 pages including front and rear covers. Contents include: Thinking About 'Witness' by Hilton Kramer (on Whittaker Chambers and his book 'Witness'; a lengthy article originally appearing in the March 1988 issue of 'The New Criterion.' Mr. Kramer writes, "Since ours seems now to have become a chronically amnesiac culture, it may be worth recalling what the nature of this critical reception [upon publication of the book] was in 1952" - with extended comments on Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. and Sidney Hook); book review by Paul Seabury (on 'Recollections of a Life' by Alger Hiss); A Scandalous Script Unravels by Lauren Weiner ("Mr. [John] Chamberlain remembers being present the day 'The New York Sun' reported that his co-worker [Whittaker Chambers] was about to be subpoenaed [by the House Un-American Activities Committee]. 'Now, his face turned sort of white when he read that headline. I was in his office when he read it, and I said, 'Well, what's the matter? You'll just go down and tell them what you know, that's all there is to it.' And Whit said, looking down the hall to the office of a managing editor of 'Time,' 'They don't like informers around here.' But inform he did - and the act would cost him his job at 'Time.' Under the committee's questioning, Mr. Chambers confirmed that he, like Elizabeth Bentley, used Harry Dexter White as a secret contact to try to influence U.S. policy in favor of the Stalin regime. Mr. Chambers added other names to the list, including those of Alger Hiss and his brother, Donald Hiss. Two other ex-communists, Nathaniel Weyl and Hede Massing, would later confirm Alger Hiss as a member of a communist cell. So would Hiss' friend, Noel Field - before Field and his wife were mysteriously imprisoned behind the Iron Curtain in 1949"); A Report on the 1987 PPI [Pumpkin Papers Irregulars] Annual Dinner (Bob Woodward received the annual [Victor] Navasky Prize; United Nations Ambassador Vernon Walters was the featured speaker); 'Pumpkin Papers' Farm Designated U.S. Landmark Despite Opposition by Amy Goldstein; Birding by John V. O'Neill ("Asked about hobbies [House Un-American Activities Committee], Mr. [Whittaker] Chambers, a bird watcher himself, replied that both [Alger] Hiss and his wife were amateur ornithologists; 'They used to get up early in the morning and go to Glen Echo, out the canal, to observe birds,' Mr. Chambers testified. 'I recall once they saw, to their great excitement, a prothonotary warbler'"). The Pumpkin Papers Irregulars, considered by some to be a "secret society," was founded in 1977 in New York City by Paul Seabury and A. Lawrence Chickering to memorialize the Whittaker Chambers-Alger Hiss case, venerate Whittaker Chambers as an early American conservative and patriot, monitor the latest news on the continuing denials of guilt by Alger Hiss and his supporters, and host an annual dinner, on or near October 31 of each year - an Annual Observance Halloween Banquet - where they would award the [Victor] Navasky Prize (Mr. Navasky was a long-time defender of Alger Hiss) to a notable public figure whom they considered to be the most disloyal American. It is likely that this publication, "The Warbler - IT SINGS!" was issued infrequently; the previous issue was most likely published August 1986. Uncommon if not rare.

    Magazine. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Offered is the April 1983 issue (Vol. III No. 1) of "The Warbler ('IT SINGS!')" edited by "Publius Ultracrepidus" (possibly founders Paul Seabury or A. Lawrence Chickering, later Philip Siegelman) and published by The Pumpkin Papers Irregulars out of Berkeley, California. Most likely issued once per year, a stapled magazine measuring 7" by 8-1/2" and containing 28 pages including front and rear covers. Contents include: Armand Hammer and Family Receive Victor Navasky Award at PPI Dinner: 30 October 1981 by Professor Arnold Beichman; lengthy article U.S. vs. Alger Hiss: Another Case of Hubris by Milton S. Gould (drawn from a series of articles published in the 'New York Law Journal' in January 1982 - on Alger Hiss, Whittaker Chambers, their testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee [HUAC], and the aftermath; Mr. Gould writes, "Of one thing I am sure: Hiss was guilty of Hubris: his ill-fated challenge to Chambers, his fatal demand for 'documents,' his attempt to brazen it out before the Grand Jury, were all acts of fatuous arrogance. He would not believe that anybody would accept the word of the unstable, shifty, admitted Communist spy, against the credit of this 'All-American boy.' It was blindness of heart in the classic sense"); What Commies? by A. Lawrence Chickering ("The beginning of a successful case against Communism - or any substitute religion - requires letting the IDEA of religion back into our intellectual vocabulary. Until then, we will continue to misunderstand our adversary and will continue to respond inappropriately to him"); The Case That Will Not Die by Caroline Drewes (a report of her interview of Alger Hiss, first appearing in the March 7, 1982 issue of the 'San Francisco Examiner and Chronicle'); The Hiss Industry: The Case That Must Die! (from the May 11, 1981 issue of 'The Richmond, VA News-Leader'); Full Text of [the] 1980 [Victor] Navasky Prize Award (awarded to Richard J. Barnet: "As Hamlet asks: 'What imports the nomination of this gentleman?', so you will ask of my nomination of Richard J. Barnet for the Victor Navasky award. And I will answer you: In his most recent book, 'The Lean Years: Politics in the Age of Scarcity,' Barnet derides the American people as cretins manipulated by what he calls 'the dream packagers of Madison Avenue'"). The Pumpkin Papers Irregulars, considered by some to be a "secret society," was founded in 1977 in New York City by Paul Seabury and A. Lawrence Chickering to memorialize the Whittaker Chambers-Alger Hiss case, venerate Whittaker Chambers as an early American conservative and patriot, monitor the latest news on the continuing denials of guilt by Alger Hiss and his supporters, and host an annual dinner, on or near October 31 of each year - an Annual Observance Halloween Banquet - where they would award the [Victor] Navasky Prize (Mr. Navasky was a long-time defender of Alger Hiss) to a notable public figure whom they considered to be the most disloyal American. It is likely that this publication, "The Warbler - IT SINGS!" was issued infrequently and most likely annually. A few tiny rust spots to staples; else Very Fine, clean and bright. Uncommon if not rare.

    Magazine. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Offered is the April 1985 issue (Vol. IV No. 1) of "The Warbler ('IT SINGS!')" edited by "Publius Ultracrepidus" (possibly founders Paul Seabury or A. Lawrence Chickering, later Philip Siegelman) and published by The Pumpkin Papers Irregulars out of Berkeley, California. Most likely issued once per year, a stapled magazine measuring 7" by 8-1/2" and containing 24 pages including front and rear covers. Contents include: The Casey Oration - October 31, 1984 given by William J. Casey, Director of Central Intelligence [CIA] ("The seventh annual PPI [Pumpkin Papers Irregulars] Banquet was overseen by Laurence Silberman, Esq., and the operation was handled efficiently by his wife, Ricky. The Oration was delivered by the Honorable William C. [sic - should be "J."] Casey. On this occasion the Orator, himself a scholar of the American Revolution, was presented with a volume of the collected writings of Nathan Hale, the celebrated American spy. The volume, autographed to Mr. Casey by the President of the United States, was delivered in the uniform of the Continental Army"). Director Casey begins his remarks: "Thank you for inviting me to talk at this Halloween banquet. I welcome the chance to spend the evening with you Pumpkin Papers Irregulars, and I am grateful that I was forced to delve again into the Hiss/Chambers affair and to reflect on its implications for finding out today what the other side is up to, its prospects, and figuring out how to confound them." Also in this issue: The Mystery of George Crosley, the Text of the Great Ceremonial Pumpkin-lighting address by Carlos Bea, October 31, 1984 meeting of the Pumpkin Papers Irregulars, Washington D.C. ("Tonight I want to attempt to unravel the mystery of why our protagonist, Alger Hiss, chose the name 'George Crosley' for Whittaker Chambers. In conducting this inquiry, I am following in the footsteps of the illustrious 'captain' Sidney Hook; in 1979, in San Francisco, he explained to us why Chambers chose a pumpkin in which to deposit the microfilm. Finally, I also want to explore the existence of a 'third man' besides Hiss and Chambers and the effects of this man's participation to this day!"); tongue-in-cheek Homily of Acceptance ("Remarks of the Rt. Rev. Spacely-Trellis [a progressive character created by the columnist Peter Simple], Bishop of Bevindon, President of the World Council of Churches, accepting the Victor Navasky Award on behalf of the World Council of Churches, at the annual P.P.I. [Pumpkin Papers Irregulars], Washington, D.C."); Beginner's Guide to Moleology (humorous drawings of fictitious "Famous Spies" - i.e., "TOMMY TATTLER - He turned in Alger Hiss to his camp counselor for smoking, 1919"); four humorous ballads sung by Professor Ward Elliott at the annual dinner of The Pumpkin Papers Irregulars in 1983 in San Francisco ("Chiquita Havana" sung to the tune of "Chiquita Banana"; "Mishka's Picnic" sung to the tune of "Teddy Bear's Picnic"; "In Far Siberia" sung to the tune of "Hills of Shiloh"; and "The Five-Year Plan" sung to the tune of "Saloon"). The Pumpkin Papers Irregulars, considered by some to be a "secret society," was founded in 1977 in New York City by Paul Seabury and A. Lawrence Chickering to memorialize the Whittaker Chambers-Alger Hiss case, venerate Whittaker Chambers as an early American conservative and patriot, monitor the latest news on the continuing denials of guilt by Alger Hiss and his supporters, and host an annual dinner, on or near October 31 of each year - an Annual Observance Halloween Banquet - where they would award the [Victor] Navasky Prize (Mr. Navasky was a long-time defender of Alger Hiss) to a notable public figure whom they considered to be the most disloyal American. It is likely that this publication, "The Warbler - IT SINGS!" was issued infrequently and most likely annually. Light rust spots to staples; else Very Fine, clean and bright. Uncommon if not rare.
