Promptly the spry little man from New Jersey radioed back his hearty willingness to help. He worked under Chairman Stimson of the U. S. Delegation at the London Naval Conference last year (TIME, Jan. 20, 1930, et seq.). In the opinion of many observers he was "by far the most able member of the U. S. Delegation and the only one who played fair with the press...
...call sprechstimme. But behind his strict design and his many novel effects (in one scene he introduces an accordion, harmonica and guitar), there is the same savage pity that Büchner had for his soldier. One European critic has called Wozzeck the greatest opera since Pellèas et Mèlisande. Stokowski must also be impressed, for his avidity for perfection appears to be even greater than usual.

Many a religionist has been shrewd in obtaining and holding wealth for his church. Others have been canny in their personal affairs as well. Unfortunate was the bucket-shopping of Bishop James Cannon of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South (TIME, May 26 et seq.) But remarkable were the financial coups of Brigham Young who took unto himself the great monopolies of the Desert, tolls on gates and roads, timber rights. The late Benjamin ("King") Purnell of the House of David, at Benton Harbor, Mich, across Lake Michigan from Zion City, took unto himself and his Queen Mary the rights...
