...caution to U. S. parents, but a joy to radio merchandising, is the dread truth that little pitchers have big ears. Daily into these ears the radio pours its ride-'em-cowboy adventure and hearty-uncle promise of dandy premiums in return for mailed-in cereal box tops, bread labels, candy wrappers.

Serene, courtly President Henry Sloane Coffin of Manhattan's Union Theological Seminary said in Buffalo that he hoped that Episcopalians "really mean business" in planning the union. Said he: "We Presbyterians mean it. We will wait, because we have Scotch caution. . . . [But] if we asked for reordination at our general assembly, we would have a revolt on our hands. . . . We Presbyterians have no question of the validity of our ministry...
