...When blind Minnesota Senator Thomas David Schall ("it is not eyes that make men") has something on his mind, he must be heard. Last spring (TIME, June 28) he was told by Senator Ashurst, Arizona, that as the years rolled on he would "regret" the speech he was then making (calling his attackers "pettifoggers, blackmailers, skunks").

Aroused, Commissioner Charles H. Burke of the Indian Bureau, Department of the Interior, last week ordered the Fort Defiance school quarantined...
...Raymond W. Henderson, almost totally blind attorney from California, amazed the nine black-robed justices by his able delivery of arguments and ready replies to all questions. All the while, his fingers fluttered over notes and indexes made in raised lettering. He was pleading a case which challenged the validity of the California Syndicalism...
