...Senate, Republican Margaret Chase Smith, 62. Handsome Maggie Smith is up for re-election this fall-and she faces the fight of her political life. But whoever wins, Maine will not lose its distaff distinction. Last week the Democratic minority leader of the Maine legislature, popular, plump Lucia Cormier, 48, tossed her bonnet in the ring to oppose Maggie Smith's third-term bid. For the first time in U.S. history, two women are to scrap for a Senate seat...
Challenger Cormier, who runs a stationery shop in Rumford (pop. 9,954), was a lukewarm Republican until 1945, when she dropped in on a Democratic town meeting "as something to do for an evening," liked the Democrats and their message.

...greatest crooks, a colossal liar, and a swindler." President Macaulay sued for libel (TIME, Oct. 24). Publisher Harpell's usual lawyers would not handle the case for him. At first he harped bitterly on this handicap as he pleaded his own defense. Then a lawyer named Calizte Cormier pleaded that Publisher Harpell had done great services to insurance companies, that Sun Life had increased its bond holdings since he began his attacks. Last week at Montreal a jury took 100 min. to reach a decision: guilty with a plea for leniency. Publisher Harpell faced maximum imprisonment of two years...
