...Stop Sinclair movement," wrote Scripps-Howard Newshawk Max Stern, "has become a phobia, lacking humor, fairness and even a sense of reality."

Another was an appeal by a non-existent "Citizens' Co-operative Relief Committee" for donations of clothing, food, room space and money for the 1,500,000 new citizens expected to arrive in the State because of the Sinclair Utopia.

Conte Grande which was flying the yellow-&-white papal flag and bearing His Eminence Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli. Secretary of State to Pope Pius XI (TIME, Oct. 1).

Through the bright spring morning air sounded the bells of Buenos Aires' 103 churches. Shore batteries rumbled through another long salute and Cardinal Pacelli was welcomed...
