Head Janizaries. The early Brain Trust - Professors Moley, Tugwell, Warren, Berle, et al. - were economists. Among the Janizaries named above, not one is an economist. They are executives (Hopkins, Ickes), high-grade political go-betweens (Keenan, Niles, Son James) and smart lawyers (Jackson, Corcoran & Cohen). Among the President's original close advisers last winter were left only two economists, Adolf A. Berle Jr. (who resigned last fortnight†) and Leon Henderson, now attached to the Monopoly Investigation, member of the commission whose report last week on consumer incomes (see p. 59) is red-hot campaign ammunition.

Last month the Sacred Congregation of Rites decreed that Mother Cabrini be beatified and called "Blessed" in St. Peter's in Rome next November-the last step before full sainthood. Two miracles, performed since her death and by her intervention, have already been attested. If subsequently two more...

Meantime, Harlem's smart gamblers had shifted from Numbers to betting on the outcome of New York's trial-of-the-year, of Tammany Leader Jimmy Hines as the political fixer of the Numbers racket (TIME, Aug. 29, et ante). Mr. Hines was getting no more breaks than ambitious young Republican Prosecutor Thomas Edmund Dewey could help. Highlight of the trial's third week was a detailed account of Defendant Hines's connections with the racket told by nosey State Witness George Weinberg...
Unfortunately for the Japanese, Dr. Sun did not fly in Pilot Woods's plane. Instead he shifted his reservation to Eurasia Aviation Corp. (45% German-owned) and flew in safety to Hankow, the Chinese capital against which Japan's forces uneventfully continued their offensive (TIME, May 9, et...
