...Diocese of Southern Ohio is considered "broad." Broad was its recently-resigned Bishop Boyd Vincent; broad its Bishop-Coadjutor, now full Bishop Theodore Irving Reese. But more than broad, altogether too latitudinarian for most Episcopal tastes, is Bishop Paul Jones, "the bishop without a diocese," called last fortnight to Southern Ohio to carry on during Bishop Reese's illness (TIME, Nov.11). A pacifist, Bishop Jones is looked on by broad churchmen as Liberals eye a Red. Last week broad and high churchmen heaved sighs of relief when the diocesan convention of Southern Ohio elected Howard Chandler Robbins, onetime Dean...
...Seditious in wartime, pacifism is not so un-Christian in times of peace. Last month, when the Episcopal diocese of Southern Ohio found itself without a Bishop because of the resignation of Bishop Boyd Vincent, 84, and the serious illness of Bishop Coadjutor Theodore Irving. Reese, Bishop Paul Jones was called to be acting Bishop. Last week he took his post. Few Ohioans felt that the Episcopal Church and the safety of the nation were thus endangered...

Dr. Robert Boyd Bogle of Nashville, president-elect last year, assumed the presidency. Who would be chosen president-elect? Army dentists and those who served in the Dental Corps during the War electioneered for Col. Robert T. Oliver of the Army Dental Corps. Others wanted Dr. Martin Dewey of Manhattan. Incoming President Bogle was so eagerly interested in such association politics that he was typically ungracious to those few reporters who wanted dental information for their readers...
There were also some petty jealousies. One John Boyd of Philadelphia sighed, accused two-time champion Carl G. Kaufmann, poker-faced Pittsburgh clerk, of getting all the "breaks." "I'm not a whale of a golfer myself," said Linkster Boyd, "but if I ever get a crack at Kaufmann I'll prove they grow better golfers on Pittsburgh's links." His "crack" came in the semifinals. Champion Kaufmann won, 3 & 2. In the 36-hole final round Champion-Kaufmann kept his championship, beat solemn Milton Concrant, Toledo mailman...
