...Hampshire's Senator Bridges persuaded the Senate Military Affairs Committee to call Ambassador to Germany Hugh R. Wilson. If, as reported, Hugh Wilson does not see Europe as Franklin Roosevelt was shown it by Bill Bullitt & Joe Kennedy, the committee was not so informed. In net effect, Mr. Wilson gravely underlined the Bullitt-Kennedy reports (TIME, Jan. 23). Whereas those gentlemen talked at length, Mr. Wilson talked hardly at all. The situation, he said, was too grave for discussion...
...Fairs are usually remembered for 1) their effect on contemporary architecture, 2) their naughtiest exhibits, 3) their deficits. Unlikely to have either a notable influence on architecture (TIME, Jan. 2) or to admit a deficit, San Francisco's fair is still in the competition with its naughty-naughties. Handicappers' current No. 1 choice is Sally Rand's troupe of cowgirls, wearing boots but no saddles on a "Dnude* Ranch" behind plate glass (see cut p. 16). Instead of "Midway," the fair's fun section is called "Gayway," which, although it means red-light district down South...
...high content of carbohydrates. Fermentation breaks down the carbohydrates into lactic and acetic acids, which inhibit bacterial action, keep the fodder from rotting. Untreated hay, wet or not, rots in a silo because it is so low in carbohydrate content that the alkaline products of fermentation overcome the effect of the acids. Monsanto's technique is to chop up the hay, blow it into a silo and blow "Phosilage" in with it. "Phosilage," which is 75% phosphoric acid, neutralizes the alkalinity, allows the natural acids to do their preservative work.* Moreover, according to Monsanto, its phosphorus content promotes healthy...
...conventional interest group composition of labor boards works well, if at all, only when the functions of the Board so organized are mediatory in character. The representation of interest groups in the present Board would force it to live in an atmosphere of compromise and adaptation. As a practical effect, each member would bargain and haggle with the others as to the meaning of the Act. This would sacrifice a consistent and systematic interpretation of principles without the gain of any corresponding advantage, and would tend to forfeit the support which the courts so far have extended to the Board...
...writers have been able to do. His everlasting self-distrust, compensatory self-assertion, slowness and difficulty with his medium they freely concede. But Cezanne's knowledge of painting and the profound calculation and power of his real triumphs they fully establish. Not only the effect of these paintings, which other critics have expressed not quite so well: "Fundamentally they are static, not inert or dead, but active as a tower, a pier or a buttress is active. . . . Composed not only in the usual sense of having their parts disposed in an orderly arrangement, but in the sense in which...
