...White House went A. F. of L.'s William Green, three pretty girls, three publicity men. On behalf of contributing A. F. of L. unions they apologized for the absence of their cake (which was repaired and delivered next day), presented $5.800 to the President's (58th) Birthday Ball fund for infantile paralysis...
Last week, as the 58th U. S. Singles tournament warmed up at New York's Forest Hills, it looked as if the Australians (John Bromwich, Adrian Quist, Jack Crawford, Harry Hopman) who had come to the U.

As one of Franklin Roosevelt's few supporters on the council, Dan Tobin last year roundly berated his colleagues for shelving a peace message from the President to A.

In Washington, Mr. Lewis gravely responded in kind: "I am willing to resign tomorrow or any day thereafter as chairman of the C.I.O. if Mr. Green will...
...thousands of broadfaced Dutchmen, big-bosomed matrons and holiday-garbed children, faces scrubbed red as Edam cheeses, milled about shouting the famed cheer for the House of Orange: "Orange Boven" ("Orange Up!"). Reason for the "cheers was that their beloved Queen last week observed two anniversaries: her 58th birthday and the completion of her 40th year on the throne. Technically. Wilhelmina, Europe's longest-reigning sovereign,* became Queen 48 years ago on the death of her father, dissolute King Willem Ill, but Queen Mother Emma served as Regent until Wilhelmina reached 18 and was crowned...
