...House was dog-tired at the end of the hardest week of the session. It was ready for adjournment at midafternoon, and voted it. But over at the other end of the Capitol, West Virginia's stripling Senator Rush Dew Holt had led-strangely enough, since it was the United Mine Workers who had helped elect him and John L. Lewis was frowning down from the gallery and cursing him for a traitor- a filibuster against the substitute Guffey Coal Control Bill. Spelled by colleagues eager to speak their pieces in the nation's ear for the last...
...renomination in West Virginia's primary last week was Democratic Senator Matthew Mansfield Neely. West Virginia's other Democratic Senator. 30-year-old Rush Dew Holt, has made many a bitter charge that Senator Neely was using WPA jobs to build up a great political machine (TIME, March 23).

Though critics have never yet put Elizabeth Bowen on a par with Virginia Woolf, they may yet rank her ahead...
...defend excavators everywhere by editorially calling the Gauley Bridge furore "fantastic bunk." On the other hand, "The time has come," declared that journal, "to bring out authoritatively all the facts of silicosis hazards." When the inquest was petering out for lack of wind last week young Senator Rush Dew Holt of West Virginia appeared before the House Committee with a commonsense statement: "This was and is American industry's 'Black Hole of Calcutta.' I have had first-hand knowledge of it for several years-despite a combine of big-business silence. Unhappily, nothing can be done...
