Last May the Louisiana Legislature convened in the new $5,000,000, 33-story Capitol at Baton Rouge for its regular 60-day biennial session. Down from Washington as State boss popped Senator Huey Pierce Long to see that things were started according to his will. His mission concluded in three days, Senator Long went back to Washington to resume his national duties. Thereupon the Legislature promptly fell into a do-nothing deadlock which lasted more than a month...
Nobody in Venice last week seemed to know how the trouble started but there it was-a glittering portrait of Cinemactress Marion Davies by Tade Styka, hanging, slambang, in the vestibule of the American Pavilion at the 10th Biennial Art Exhibition. Ever since the Exhibition opened in mid-May visitors thought it strange that this work by a Polish artist should be so prominently displayed in a U.

...Philadelphia last week journeyed 1,700 women, young and old, as delegates from 600 communities and seven lands, to the biennial national convention of the Y. W. C. A.

...Oberammergau, nestling among mountains and presenting every decade a Passion Play to commemorate its deliverance from pestilence.* But many a Roman Catholic parish offers some kind of play or pageant. Jesuits and Franciscans have given performances in San Francisco. Chicago has an annual and Milwaukee a biennial sacred play. A nine-act drama, The Passion, is given at St. Xavier College in Cincinnati. Last week as Lent opened, pious spectacles began to appear...
...33rd biennial convention of the United Mine Workers of America at Indianapolis came to an end last week in an atmosphere thick with New Deal harmony and goodwill. For the first time in the history of the world's largest labor union, an employers' representative, Secretary Carroll Benton Huntress of the National Coal Association, had addressed the gathering. Never before had the union boasted so many members (360,000), never before had so many delegates (1,700) attended a U. M. W. convention. There was a whole sea of new faces, delegates from areas hitherto un-unionized before...
