While Justice Butler read a decision Mr. Van Devanter leaned over and whispered to Chief Justice Hughes. In 20 minutes a few decisions of little public interest had been read, Court orders issued providing for hearing next autumn of cases challenging PWA's loans to establish municipal power plants, denying an immediate review of Electric Bond & Share Co.'s test of the Utility Holding Company Act, etc. For another 25 minutes the Justices sat while nearly 100 applicants for permission to practice before the Court were introduced, and sworn in in batches. Then the Court rose...
When King Frederick Perry I of England abdicated the throne of amateur tennis last autumn to woo the almighty dollar, the heir-apparent was Prince Donald Budge of the U. S., unless .aging Pretender Jack Crawford of Australia could make good his claim. At stake was more than the throne. Without King Frederick, England had little chance of retaining the Davis Cup, and the challenge round for that 37-year-old receptacle, which Australasia and France have each won six times, Great Britain nine times and the U.

...William J. Mericka & Co. this week. Publisher Griffith-Grey -who enlarged his name in 1915 to avoid being confused with his famed brother, for whom he used to distribute pictures like Broken Blossoms, Intolerance, The Birth of a Nation-determined 18 months ago to get out Cinema Arts.

Last week, FORTUNE'S June issue carried a special supplement giving a preview of its July poll on the President's popularity as affected by the Supreme Court issue. This showed a bigger change in his popularity than took place at any time during the campaign. Whereas...
...Catholic clergy were up in arms. Pastoral letters flew like autumn leaves protesting that the school campaign was a breach of the Vatican-Nazi Concordat (TIME, July 17, 1933). Hitler, however, had a trump card. He had long been lining up "evidence" to prove that German Catholic monasteries were hotbeds of immorality. In a climactic, triumphant effort to squelch Catholicism on Aryan soil he threw all the immorality trials into the courts at the same time. He hoped that wholesale convictions would destroy the prestige of the Catholic Church for good, that the Reich...
