...bullets have ceased singing but in the courts the struggle continues. Nearly two score Progressives were convicted in a Federal court in Springfield, Ill. of conspiracy to interfere with the mails and interstate commerce by dynamiting trains (TIME, Dec. 27). Last week another case originating on that dark and bloody ground was decided in East St. Louis, Ill. by Federal District Judge Fred L. Wham. In a damage suit brought against the Progressive Miners by United Electric Coal Co. for losses sustained from a three-year shutdown of its Red Ray mine, Judge Wham whammed down an award...
Victorious in defending eight major New Deal laws before the Supreme Court, Solicitor General Reed suffered three defeats, in cases involving NRA, AAA and the Bankhead Act (where a combination of overwork and hostility from the bench brought him to a courtroom collapse).

Others: General Motors' Public Relations Counsel Paul Willard Garrett, American Iron and Steel Institute's John Wiley Hill, Rockefeller...
Manhattan's Metropolitan Opera Com-pany never considered Elektra a best seller. Yet when the opera was revived last week at the Met, a capacity audience, including silk hats and standees, gave it the lustiest ovation heard there in several seasons. Principal object of their applause: a dark, hefty Hungarian soprano. Rose Pauly. who heaved and panted through 15 curtain calls after her Metropolitan debut in the title role. Other objects : the sinister, pasty-faced Klytemnestra of Kerstin Thorborg; the brilliant conducting of Artur Bodanzky. Pauly, whose last year's appearance in a concert version of Elektra under...
