...proposed by Democrat Emanuel Celler of Brooklyn, reached the floor of the House. In Committee of the Whole, over the protests of women members of both parties, Democrat John J. Cochran of St. Louis succeeded in amending it so as to tighten instead of repeal the antimarriage clause. But final action was taken by the House itself. To the surprise and jubilation of the repeal forces the Cochran amendment was rejected. Straight repeal was voted, 203-to-129, and the bill was sent to the Senate, where its passage was expected.

Increasingly able since he played in his first Wimbledon tournament in 1935, Budge has this year reached the peak of his form. On his way to last week's final he had lost only one set-to his Davis Cup Teammate Frank Parker in the semifinals. Included among the opponents whom he had beaten with distressing ease were Australia's Vivian McGrath, Czechoslovakia's Ladislow Hecht, France's Christian Boussus.

...miles of open ocean to tiny Rowland Island, where no plane had ever been. With typical stunt flyer's negligence, Miss Earhart did not bother to reveal her position along the way. The Coast Guard cutter Itasca at Howland heard from her about once an hour. Her final message said she had only half-an-hour's gas left, could not see land. She still gave no position and the Itasca's direction finder could not get a bearing because she had failed to adjust her radio to its frequency...
