...remember most unhappily," wrote John D. Rockefeller Jr. last week, "the protracted tax litigation between my father and the village of North Tarrytown, N. Y. Although it resulted in his favor, it left my father a feeling of hurt and injury that I think never quite disappeared." Whether or not he expected to end feeling hurt or injured, Mr. Rockefeller six years ago took court action to have the 1934 assessed valuation ($2,619, 890) on his North Tarrytown property, including a corner of his vast Pocantico Hills estate reduced...

...Harvard Young Communist League takes this occasion to reaffirm its faith in the ideals and principles for which it has always stood. We believe that the activities of the soviet Union and the policies of the American Communist Party are entirely in accord with these principles. Although we appreciated Mr. Hicks' presence at Harvard during the past year, his present action can in no way alter our fundamental belief in the tenets of scientific socialism, the teachings of Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Stalin. We will persist in our policy, based on these teachings, of exerting every effort to keep...
