...sector of Berlin last week, a thin-faced German picked up a copy of the Daily Bulletin, a Mimeographed paper for American employees of the occupation government. The first item caught his eye...
When the Student Council ticket committee, keeping an eye on the always-touchy problem, advised Mr. Bingham that it would be fairer to the majority to enforce the rule, he complied with the request. One incident in the stands--and Mr. Bingham was the target of half-humorous, half-serious accusatory darts. The fact is that it was the system, and not the enforcement, which drew the darts; and to be justified, those complaints should have been made a month or more ago. Once a system has earned tacit approval by lack of opposition, the fairest thing is to carry...
Died. Sidney Webb, Lord Passfield, 88, British economist, pioneer Fabian socialist, onetime Colonial Secretary (1929-31); in Liphook, England. He invented the most uninspiring political slogan of an era-"inevitability of gradualness"-and gave it to the Fabian Society, the gleam-in-the-eye which fathered the British Labor Party.

Their crowning work was the 1,174-page Soviet Communism: a New Civilization, which was the most detailed study of the Soviet Government in English, and which completely missed the point...
From the two national conventions have emerged two programs for electioneering which, agreeing on these common aims, will supplement each other rather than conflict.

The other moves to intensify labor's block-by-block doorbell ringing; this is PAC's registration drive to bring out 60,000,000 voters next Fall, 12,000,000 more than...
...defensibility of this premise has been weakened; for ADA's careerist Democrats seemingly cannot face up to foreign policy unhandcuffed by their own Truman-tied Party Line. The resultant bitter feuding between ADA and PCA on international questions has prevented coordinated planning on domestic policy--where the two see eye to eye for the most part. Neither of course holds any appreciable number of votes. But separate endorsements of different Congressional candidates and different vice-presidential nominees next spring can only weaken everyone's bargaining hand in Democratic Party councils at an hour demanding top power...
