...Bridges denies that he is a communist. He is not a member of the Communist Party. He simply says communists make good unionists. The speech most used against him was made last spring at the University of Washington: "We take the stand that we as workers have nothing in common with the employers. We are in a class struggle, and we subscribe to the belief that if the employer is not in business his products still will be necessary and we still will be providing them when there is no employing class. We frankly believe that day is coming...
...held on to their aristocratic traditions. To ward off outsiders, they married among themselves, had illegitimate children by itinerant whites, but kept strictly apart from Negroes. Almost white, fine-featured. French-speaking and Catholic, the 2,000 mulattoes on Cane River's "Yucca" plantation now share little in common with Negroes except their work and their social position in Southern white society...

...gross sales of $3,000,000 last year, net income of $233,000. The stock of this company, whose story would make a perfect Joseph Hergesheimer novel, has always been closely held but last week Birdsboro was granted permission to list 200,000 shares of no-par common on the New York Curb Exchange. Reasons: to provide extra working capital, pay off bank loans, redeem outstanding preferred stock, establish a price for the common stock for the convenience of present owners, mostly family members and widely scattered...
Most observers agreed that President Conant could not have made a happier choice. Roscoe Pound is as broad in knowledge as he is in beam. Before becoming a ranking authority on jurisprudence and a mighty scholar of the common law, he directed a botanical survey of his home State of Nebraska. He is as proud of the roscopoundia lichen as he is of his knowledge of Freemasonry and Civil War military history. Junketing in Europe last week, Roving Professor Pound in September will welcome as his successor in the job he has held for 21 years his onetime student, SECommissioner...
