...elections were held. To the chagrin and amazement of Hayashi and his gold braids more than 400 of the 466 Diet seats went to avowed opposition parties. The bellicose Premier, ignoring Japan's voters, remained in office (TIME, May 10). But he had reckoned without the political parties who, after much Japanese skirmishing, got round this week to passing a motion of no-confidence in the Hayashi Government.

Some 100 women sitters in the Bernard Schwartz Cigar Corp. factory gave the officers more trouble, kicked, squealed, squirmed as they were driven out. When watching sympathizers began to pelt the police with rock-cored snowballs, 20 mounted officers charged into the crowd with nightsticks swinging. At that, Detroit's sympathy began swinging back...
Harvard has never felt chagrin at its Class of 1910 which featured such celebrities as Columnists Walter Lippmann and Heywood Broun, Poet Thomas Stearns Eliot, Communist John Reed, New York's Representative Hamilton Fish Jr., Economist Stuart Chase. The Class of 1911, however, sported so few notables 25 years after graduation as to prompt Sportswriter John Roberts Tunis, Harvard 1911, to publish a pessimistic portrayal of his classmates' aspirations and accomplishments (Was College Worth While?}. Most distinguished member of 1911, in the consensus of the class, was Cartoonist Gluyas Williams, who shone on the Harvard Lampoon...
