...Protestant Episcopal Church stands midway between U. S. Catholicism and U. S. Protestantism. Many Protestants, remembering instances of Episcopalian refusal to recognize the validity of other Protestant orders (latest instance: Manhattan's Bishop William Thomas Manning's) forbidding Dr. Karl Reiland to allow Presbyterian Henry Sloane Coffin to officiate at a communion service in an Episcopal church (TIME, Nov. 25), think Episcopalians have no right to call themselves Protestants. Many high-church Episcopalians agree with them, dislike the name Protestant, would like to change their church's name to something like American Catholic.* Last week...

...Arctic tern, which wings some 20,000 miles per season, nesting in the Arctic, wintering in the Antarctic. Chief Redington declared that the number of migratory game birds is fast dwindling in the U. S. Every citizen has a right to kill them in season (some states allow 25 such killings a day). Modern hunters use modern mass-destruction methods, such as automatic and repeating shotguns, live decoys, baited ducking grounds. Ducks die by the million from improper refuges like the Bear River marshes near Great Salt Lake, Utah, where alkali permeates the duck ponds. Chief Redington recommends more sanctuaries...
