Presbyterian Princeton Seminary last week took a strategic seat in the theological van. To Princeton as guest professor (one year) of Systematic Theology -and possibly to fill permanently its Hodge professorship in that subject- came one of the ablest of European theologians, Dr. Emil Brunner, late of the University of Zurich. Princeton thus reinforced its support of the "New Orthodoxy," the new theology based on old revealed truths and largely associated with the name of Switzerland's Karl Earth (TIME, April 25).

...permit The Big House, Hearst (Cosmopolitan) editorial cinema designed to flay prison conditions in the U. S. (TIME, July 7), to be shown anywhere in Ohio. The board's reason: "The display of such films is harmful to the boys & girls of Ohio." Commented Chairman Henry G. Brunner of the state Democratic executive committee: "It is apparent that the state [Republican] administration fears the picture would revive interest in the Ohio penitentiary fire, costing 320 lives because it portrays overcrowding and other prison evils involved in that disaster. It is plain that political expediency makes it undesirable to direct...
