...Proctor presents to his little flock have not passed unnoticed. Powerful pastors of powerful churches esteem him well - men like Dr. S. Parkes Cadman of the Central Congregational Church and James Percival Huget of the great Tompkins Avenue Congregational Church, who are his neighbors. They and their fellow Congregational ministers met last week in Manhattan to choose a moderator for their New York Association of Congregational churches. They chose Rev. Mr. Proctor...
...Lane County, Tennessee - stretches of crowded, stumbling action; bursts of mulish power. Abner Teeftallow, a brawny illiterate of 18, leaves the poor-farm where his mother died insane, to labor as a teamster on a traction project of Lanesburg's genius and potentate, Railroad Jones. From his fellow teamsters he learns the technique of hillbilly manhood- gulping moonshine, shooting craps Saturday nights in a wood, toting an automatic pistol for protection on "rambling" (courting) nights and for display at prayer-meetings.

He has a sharp tongue and uses it to tickle Republicans between the floating ribs. The thin little fellow with crutches-sharp face, dandy hair-is Upshaw, of course, the champion of prohibition. The Anti-Saloon...
Nearly two months ago, Charles R. Forbes, onetime Director of the Veterans' Bureau, entered Leavenworth Prison for conspiracy to defraud the Government in the Veterans' hospital scandal (TIME, March 29), which like the oil scandal spread its shadow over the Harding Administration. His fellow conspirator, John W. Thompson, likewise convicted, did not enter the prison because his lawyers represented that his health was poor. The Court ordered the lawyers to make a final argument in Chicago this week. Last week, however, Mr. Thompson, 64 and worried, died of a heart attack...
