...busy, happy week for Carl McIntire. He had just published a new book (Modern Tower of Babel; Christian Beacon Press; $1.50) crammed to the covers with haymaker denunciations of his numerous enemies. He received word that two new denominations had voted to join his American Council of Christian Churches. But no less rewarding was the news that came from Madison, Wis.

...battle between the reformers and the politicians continues on Beacon Hill. This Wednesday afternoon the lower house of the State Legislature will consider Senate Bill 5, which would outlaw proportional representation as a method of voting in this state. The bill is only one of many proposed in this session to do the same thing, but the others either remain in committee or have already been reported out unfavorably to the legislature.
