...first victory of a candidate east of the Rocky Mountains who campaigned openly for old Dr. Francis E. Townsend's plan for $200-a-month pensions for all good citizens over 60 (TIME, Nov. 4 et ante). Hundreds of Congressmen could foresee the ominous days next autumn when they would have to stand for or against the rising tide of Townsendism...
...Dictator and the League. Ignorance was obvious on all sides. Many M.P.s sat up to listen as though hearing for the first time much which they might have read weeks and months ago in the Press. As if for the first time, the House seemed to learn that last autumn Haile Selassie offered to cede territory to win Peace*; that Italy has juridical claims upon British and French tolerance of her intrusion of Ethiopia based on the treaty of 1906 and the exchange of notes of 1925; and finally that in the past, when British aid has been offered...
Still another explanation might have been Mr. Hutton's divorce last autumn from Marjorie Post Close Hutton, only daughter of General Foods' founder, the late Charles William ("Postum") Post.

Thus for a step-mother-in-law the able senior Senator from Maryland will have Mrs. Marjorie Post Close Hutton Davies...
Robert Fitzgerald's Poems are much smoother and more conventional in form. His themes are often familiar-his Boston poems include a "Charles River Nocturne," glimpses of the Common-and he writes of autumn woods and winter nights.
