...wheelhorse of a type that Presbyterians have docilely accepted in recent years-Rev. Dr. Henry Buck Master, 64, secretary of the Presbyterian Board of Pensions since 1919. A portly, florid Princeton man (1895) who held pastorates in Buffalo and Fort Wayne, Ind. and went to War as a stretcher-bearer, Dr. Master lives affluently on Philadelphia's Main Line, attends the swankest Presbyterian Church, at Bryn Mawr. Conservative in theology, he has never been involved in church fights, has been pleasantly identified with the Pension Board whose assets were $6,000,000 when he joined it. Since then...

Last week President Terra of Uruguay, after prolonged investigation, decided that altogether too many large checks drawn "to bearer" by the Soviet Legation in Montevideo were being cashed by individuals who, his Secret Service told him, were Communist revolutionaries...
Political wisdom requires a better answer than monopoly-baiting. Even Senator Borah's cloquence as a standard-bearer could not inflate the issue to proportions comparable to existing ones. Republicans have been charge with inability to outline a so-called "constructive program", and some would put an attack on monopolies in that category. But if Republicans pretend to be realists, and at the same time wish to quibble over terminology, they have a reply. Nothing could be more constructive than an attempt to replace administrative machinery which creates a fool's paradise for farmers, a staggering debt for coming generations...
