...voted on whether or not they should have a union (and which union) to bargain for them with their bosses. Six years ago, before the Wagner Act and NLRB, such an election would not have been possible in the U. S. Three years ago, before sitdowns and the slow, arduous lesson in industrial relations which followed, such an election could not have been held in General Motors. Last week, on corporation property, corporation time and with the corporation blessing, 68% of the employes in 48 plants chose the C. I. O. autoworkers' union, 21% preferred a rump...
...almost all of the teams face rivals on land, on water, and in the air. Coach Jaakko Mikkola unleashes his impatient track team on Northeastern and Holy Cross in an informal meet Saturday afternoon on Soldiers Field which should serve as a good warm up for the coming arduous schedule...

Last week she popped another speed mark into her bagful of trophies and records: 2.000 kilometers (1,242.74 miles) from Burbank, Calif, to Albuquerque, N. M. and back in 3 hours, 44 minutes, 47 seconds...
Behind him, in all probability, was his last real seagoing vacation before he and the U. S. people find out about Term III. Ahead of him were months of arduous labor in the White House: the burden of operating a vast, peaceable democracy in a war-gripped world, the problem of holding together the sagging New Deal. Tanned, re-toughened, in bouncing spirits, his February melancholy and his barren fishing luck forgotten, he took train for Washington ready to fight the G. O. P. and the White House air-conditioning for at least eleven more months...
