...June 18 John L. Lewis will be the principal speaker at the Harvard Business School Alumni Association's annual meeting. This is a "scoop" of the first order, for, next to President Roosevelt, Mr. Lewis is unquestionably the most formidable figure on today's American scene. But we hardly expect that Dean Donham will immediately organize a branch of the CIO on the industrial side of the Charles...
Similarly the action of the Federal Postmasters in two separate cities of Ohio, acting as they say under instructions from Washington, in refusing to accept for delivery perfectly legal packages is also what one would expect. "Remember your friends" is a good political motto. At Niles the evidence shows the postmaster there is going so far to preserve the sanctity of the mails as to show all packages addressed to Republic Mills to C.I.O. organizers for final approval.

Pretty Nancy McCord, who used to sing in Broadway shows, made her Metropolitan debut as Princess Saamcheddine. She hit the proper notes, but acted woodenly and could not hide the fact that she has a pale, uninteresting voice. Listeners felt that the Metropolitan's Marouf was well worth repeating, but could not come up to last season's smash hit in English, The Bartered Bride...
