...threaten eventual paralysis of the entire G. M. organism this autumn, pugnacious little Walter Reuther, director of the G. M. department of United Automobile Workers, last week called 800 toolmakers in a Fisher Body plant at Detroit out on strike. Next day he called out 2,900 more in four other G. M. plants, next day 2,300 in four more. His technique, new and shrewdly conceived, was not unlike amputating one finger at a time to cripple a hand. It was painful to the corporation; it was stimulating, exciting for the workers: something new in the newspapers every...
Thus, according to reports which trickled from the countryside into Vienna last week, ended an archiepiscopal tour in which Cardinal Innitzer had twice been menaced before he reached Konigsbrunn.

Historian Clark hates the radio, says he did not know who Kate Smith was when his children lately asked...
...dialogue ("She's a woman, she's life itself -she makes the grass grow, see? She's a skylark"), its improbable characters and adroit situations, may sound more convincing on the stage than in print. Manhattanites may have a chance to find out next autumn, when ebullient Gertrude Lawrence, who toured in the play last spring, opens it on Broadway...
...question of knowing if I am right or wrong in posing so brutally the Danzig question. What is done is done, and we must accept the consequences. We must have our way, whatever the cost, in the few weeks which still separate us from the autumn months...
