...seemed, high time to buckle down to serious work, and a vote was taken on a minor amendment to the Bricker resolution. The result, 62 for and 20 against, was significant only in disclosing a hard core of at least 20 Senators who would stand firm against any change along lines proposed by Bricker & Co., regardless of any compromises or other kernels of corn which might be dropped in front of them.

To succeed him as Assembly President, the members last week unanimously elected Mosa Pijade, 64, a gnomelike little man whose friendly, avuncular air (covering the steely core of a seasoned revolutionist) has earned him the nickname Cica (uncle). He joined the Communist Party in 1920, founded the newspaper Borba, which remains the mouthpiece of Yugoslav Communism today. Most of the years between World Wars I and II he spent in jail, continuing there to plot, teach...
