Sirs: TIME, May 30 said, "Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass Co. has contributed to Ohio's relief troubles by discharging 4,000 of its 5.000 Toledo workers." This statement creates a wrong impression. The flat glass industry has felt the full force of this depression and operations every where have, of necessity, been sharply reduced. Our company was compelled to lay off a considerable number of its workers - most of them temporarily - but there is quite a difference between such a layoff and a "discharge...
...stop the games from being held in Tokyo, the gesture is bound to start a lot of people thinking about the state into which the Olympics have fallen.

...field. The advanced courses tend to deal with narrow parts of German culture, and, in the Sophomore year particularly, students have trouble in orienting themselves and in placing courses in the right relation to each other. The tutorial work does not meet this situation, and a "planlessness" is felt by some students when arranging their schedules. A second trouble previously encountered in making schedules is that too many of the advanced courses have been in the same examination group...
