...regarded for many years as important to the security of my family." For about 15 years, Kansas-born Harold Smith had researched and taught the science of government, had served in local and state administrations. Finally he had come to the top, to become the all but indispensable inter-bureau diplomat and master of complex finance and administration. At 48, balancing his personal books, the best that he could say was that he had broken even with his "fixed charges." By dint of such occasional frugalities as cutting his son's hair, he now had a modest house...
Last week TIME'S London Bureau cabled: "It is an undisguised fact that Britain is on the verge of an Anglo-Jewish war in Palestine." Westminster's lobbies rang with the muttered warnings and fears of pro-Zionist Labor members. Everything was piling up to transform what had been an Arab-Jewish conflict into an Anglo-Jewish fight...
...Joell "expresses" her bureau milk by hand (machine milking, says the bureau, is less tiring but harder on breast tissues) ; in the middle of her donation she often "feels quite depleted" and stops for lunch.

The bureau is already drawing on its reserve stocks of frozen milk built up in more abundant times (since 1921 it has collected some 18,200 gals...
From Washington came another jolt for Editor Ingersoll. In a climax to old differences (TIME, April 22) and recent editorial labor troubles, five of his six Capital staffers resigned in a body. Young (30), bright James Wechsler, ex-bureau head, was one. Another was able, balding Nathan Robertson, with 23 years of Washington experience behind him. (Field on Robertson: "A damned good man; I hate to lose him.") Both had been with PM from the start. Said the five in a signed statement: ". . . We cannot in good conscience continue to work for Ralph Ingersoll. . . . His illiberalism and intolerance have offended...
