George Eric Rowe Gedye lost his job as Central European correspondent for the London Daily Telegraph last February by criticizing Neville Chamberlain in his book, Betrayal in Central Europe. Last March he lost his berth with the New York Times by being booted out of Prague by the Gestapo. Last week unlucky Correspondent Gedye (pronounced Geddy), a brisk, bright-eyed Englishman, paying his first visit to Manhattan, was offered his choice of two new posts. The Times would send him to Moscow or to Mexico City, its vacancy in Rome having been filled last month by Spanish War Correspondent Herbert...
...management has had its troubles, but has ridden through them all. There was a nasty squabble with Engineer Shadgen. Given a $625-a-month berth at the fair, he was presently fired as incompetent. When he brought suit for $2,000,000 the fair settled with him for $45,000. Then there was the proposed Freedom Pavilion to display the works of pre-Nazi Germans and those exiled by Nazidom.

...Patrick, of the Patrick hockey family, left-winger on Harding's line, stands next to Austie in scoring, with four goals and two assists, a record that was recently augmented by his two tallies against Yale last Friday. And Warren Winslow, who has been holding down the other wing berth on the same line, follows him. Substitute lines have been a big problem for Hodder this year, with most of the teams he has had to face having strong second and third trios. The second line of DeRahm, Eaton, and Cutler, has shown up well in recent games, however...
