...months (on April 27), but in three months (Jan. 27). The law provides "six months" in order to make unnecessary a medical examination. In case the wife prefers to have her non-pregnancy established earlier by such an authority as Dr. Kirkwood, however, the Court has the right to act upon his findings on a three-month basis or even, where "grave necessity" can be shown, immediately...
...popular esteem, to endanger the freedom of the press, and has even gone so far as to urge its members to breach the law. . . Your board recommended to its membership that 'no agreement be entered into with any group of employes.' As we understand the Wagner Act, it is obligatory upon employers to negotiate with representatives of a majority of employes in any department or craft.

...overcome its inclination to wince whenever Comedian Whitehead opens his mouth, O Say Can You Sing? has some genuinely entertaining moments. Most professional episode is a ballet called "Renaissance," ably danced by talented and personable Grace & Kurt Graff. A little chocolate drop named Baby Marie Brown steals the first act finale, Grandma's Goin' to Town, by singing and dancing disguised as a midget mammy. The ingenue role is performed by Grace Herbert, a good-looking local night club entertainer, who delivers some of Composer Phil Charig's imperative tunes, among the best of which...
