...statement that all broadcasters must be treated alike, and that not all have the good taste and ability of the editors of TIME magazine. But there are other methods beside absolute prohibition, as the 18th Amendment taught us. Limit recreations of the President's voice to his exact words, without important omissions; ban the direct connection of his words with commercial announcements-but restore to TIME magazine the right to recreate Mr. Roosevelt on its outstanding "March of TIME" program...
...with Congressional approval. 3) To have Congress immediately specify that the dollar, when revalued, shall be revalued at not more than 60? of the pre-Roosevelt dollar. Thus the President (who already had power to reduce the dollar to not less than 50?) postponed the fixing of an exact new value for the dollar. But this new step would be a step toward a stabilized, fixed dollar because it would be a promise that the new dollar would have a value of between 50? and 60?. Immediately after the President's message was read the Treasury boosted the domestic...
...unexpected change of Chief Justice Hughes' heart produced two effects: it gave the newspapers an approach to the constitutionality of the NRA which was personal and striking, and it obscured the exact measure of the progress which the Minnesota mortgage decision has marked out.

...Compton believes in no such firm, almighty Divine Intelligence as do Scientists Einstein and Planck. A student of "indeterminism," he says that "natural phenomena do not obey exact laws.'' Physicists have tested the behavior of the smallest known units of matter and light, only to discover that their movements are unpredictable. This "complexity of small-scale events," leads Dr. Compton toward resolving the dilemma of freedom v. law, which is "as essential to the welfare of science as it is to the growth of religion." If a little photon of light can move capriciously...
...Steel acquired his future services. On April 1 he will become vice chairman of Steel's Finance Committee filling the post vacated by the promotion of William J. Filbert (TIME, Dec. n). Steel permits its executives to retire at 65, pensions them off at 70. Nobody knows the exact age of bald, mysterious Mr. Filbert, master of so many columns of figures, but it is a fact of record that he got his first job with the Chicago & Northwestern Railway 52 years ago. The presumption is that he is in the 65-70 year bracket, will soon retire, that...
