On the sidewalks of Dublin last week Mr. Smith remarked to reporters how calm the polling seemed, came away from a big de Valera political rally to exclaim: "It was almost as unanimous as a Tammany meeting...

J. Dr. Emanuel Spielholz, Duro-Test consultant, was back from a European survey with $150,000 worth of krypton extracting machinery purchased abroad, to which he expects to add some refinements of his own. President of Duro-Test is a small, jovial Jew named Maxwell Monroe Bilofsky, who is a member of the New York Stock Exchange and keeps a ticker running...
