Long foreshadowed had been the moves of the stalwarts on the Right. Colonel Henry Breckinridge, who assured himself of a cool reception at Philadelphia this week by opposing Franklin Roosevelt in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland primaries, announced that he would not appear to receive it. So did New York's Physician-Senator Royal S. Copeland, conservative oldtime Tammanyman and warm friend of William Randolph Hearst, who has long been at odds with the President and "General" Farley over matters of privilege and patronage. Governor Eugene Talmadge, a practical politician who wants to go on holding office in a Democratic...
Protestantism is "running downhill" (TIME, May 11). Well informed as he is, the new Congregational moderator was doubtless aware last week that in the July Christian Herald would appear the annual church statistics prepared by Dr. George Linn Kieffer; that these show an increase for all U. S. religious bodies of 670,801 members in 1935, or 1.08% as compared with the total U.

...prices climbed last week, potatoes began to appear from unsuspected quarters. In Manhattan heavy shipments from North Carolina helped send old crop quotations crashing from $4.40 per bag to $3.50.

On the third day, I was a wreck. I saw everything double, and in trying to feed myself, I was always feeding the wrong face. . . . Mental processes were askew. . . . My surgical instruments that I had used for years seemed strange to me, and while I knew what they were, could not get it through my head how to use them. Writing was out of the question...
...formidable nose between gimlet eyes suggests the front of a streamlined car, John Gielgud is the 32-year-old great-nephew of the late great Ellen Terry. A product of Westminster, Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and several years of British stock, he made his reputation in successive appearances as Romeo, Hamlet and King Lear at London's Old Vic Theatre, branched out as a successful actor- manager in 1934. The most popular matinee idol England has seen in years, he experimented with the screen in Secret Agent because he admired Director Hitchcock, wanted to learn his methods...
