Lady Lindsay and her social secretary, Irene Boyle, had previously snooted Washington newshens and refused reasonable requests for information on such occasions as the visit of Anthony Eden. Even visiting British sobsisters who were received by Mrs. Roosevelt at the White House found Lady Lindsay too busy to receive them at the British Embassy. Last week frosty-haired Lady Lindsay prepared the press for the goodwill visit of the King and Queen by commenting on the bad manners of the U. S. press as she told them how Americans would have to behave. The newshens answered her back, unimpressed...
...standing with the Italian Embassy, his wide acquaintance in Europe's capitals, and a series of scoops that began when he published the substance of the Locarno Treaties before they were released. He was first to report the Anglo-Italian Treaty in 1938, first to announce Anthony Eden's resignation last year. So rarely do prophecies turn out right that these triumphs overshadowed notable Augur misses.

P.s than ever distrustful of British official policy, there were also more rumors than ever of a change in the Government itself. Former Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden still talked of a national Cabinet. Mr. Chamberlain was represented as wanting to have a Laborite in the Government, but the Labor Party wanted no part of the Prime Minister...
...East of Eden, the best that can be said is that its earlier chapters compare favorably with the minor novels of Sholom Asch. The worst that can be said is that much of it sounds as though it had been dictated by the Jewish Daily Forward's Editor Abraham Cahan, Author Singer's first U. S. sponsor and one of the shrillest critics of things Communist. In this story of an underdog, the hero is Nachman Ritter, son of a poor peddler. A Talmud student turned baker, Nachman is bewitched by an egomaniac Communist caricature, endures nine years...
