...stand which President Conant has taken on the Massachusetts Teachers' Oath Bill cannot be as bald as the newspaper reports would lead us to believe. From them we gathered that members of the Harvard faculty who refuse to take an oath of allegiance, as teachers, to the federal and state consitutions will be forced to resign...
...scale against Italy at a secret conference of League bigwigs ending at 11:10 a. m. At 11:40 the Council of the League was to make in public the decision reached in private. Two minutes before this public session began, Italy's delegation, led by eagle-bald Baron Pompeo Aloisi, ceremoniously retreated.

The wise men do not seem to have done us much good...
...movie to be seen. We arrived full of dinner and somewhat preoccupied about Sally Rand, so missed being as frightened as we should have been. But that's not the fault of the movie. Starring Peter Lorrie, it deals with certain untoward incidents that occur when a bald sadist grafts a dead murderer's hands onto the wrists of a managled musician whose wife the sadist purposes to annex.
