...Falsifications." Julia Willkie, who had stepped across the border from Canada to hear her brother speak in Buffalo, had told him: "Wen, keep punching, punching." Wen needed no encouragement last week. Roosevelt, caparisoned in righteous indignation, warned that he would point out "falsification of fact by the opposition." Willkie grinned, and kept on punching...
...avenue lined with 16 impressive clubs where upperclassmen live and move and have their meals. For 62 years now Tigertown has annually indulged in the pageantry of Bicker Week, when the clubs cull over the palpitating Sophomores for new blood-a stately procedure which the Dally Princetonian irreverently calls buffalo and twenty-three skidoo. From how on, the trustees have rules, every academically eligible Sophomore must be allowed to become a member of a club if he so wishes...
Last week Aircraft Maker Lawrence (Airacobra) Bell showed newsmen his recently expanded factory in Buffalo. His guests inspected hundreds of gleaming, new machine tools, saw that Larry Bell had perhaps the finest aircraft plant in the U. S. They looked over a production line of some 30 Airacobras -all-metal, low-winged, single-engined pursuit planes designed to fly upwards of 400 m.p.h., climb phenomenally fast to intercept enemy bombers. And the visitors got a lesson in the status of U. S. defense...

Curtiss-Wright last week had its P-4O production up to seven a day, for the moment had enough Allisons, but only because Bell and Lockheed did not yet need them in quantity. Both soon will; there will not be enough for all three for months. One or more will have to finish fuselages and wings, store them and wait for engines...
...music season started last week not only with a fanfare but a crash. The U. S. air bristled with batons-in Philadelphia (where the season opened fortnight ago), Boston, Cleveland, many another place. Buffalo, which has a modest symphony, struck up in a new plushy, streamlined, $1,300,000 Kleinhans Music Hall built by the late Edward L. Kleinhans, clothing storeman, and PWA. (Buffalo also dedicated a $2,700,000 Memorial Auditorium, finest in the land.) In Manhattan's mellow Carnegie Hall, the Philharmonic-Symphony also launched its 99th season of concerts. This last event produced the loudest crash...
