...celebrated cartoons was undoubtedly one reason why another political artist was sought for the Tribune. For three years gentle, grey Cartoonist McCutcheon, now 66, has conserved his strength by taking frequent long vacations, sometimes drawing only three cartoons a week when on duty. In his anxiety to flay the New Deal Publisher McCormick has not been enthusiastic about Mr. McCutcheon's calm, unvitriolic pictures. Last May Colonel McCormick deleted a pro-New Deal McCutcheon cartoon. On two other occasions McCutcheon drawings have been jerked from the Tribune after appearing in its ''bull-dog'' edition...
...Bennett is now the dignified, correct and unpopular leader of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition. Last week in Ottawa, this onetime premier rose before the Budget Committee in the House of Commons to denounce the duty-free entrance of U.

...House two years and seven months ago, he has been nursing a pair of first-string grudges: against the personality and policies of the man who defeated him and against those in his own party who regard him as a discredited liability.

All parts of his speech embarrassing to Nazis were omitted from German newsorgans by order of Minister of Propaganda & Public Enlightenment Dr. Paul Josef Goebbels. Sensing the showdown which cannot be put off forever, Germany...
From Princeton Dr. Machen and his colleagues migrated to Philadelphia, made that city, by their presence, the capital of U. S. orthodoxy. Near Philadelphia they established their seminary. In Philadelphia they set up a house organ, Christianity Today, in whose columns they proceeded to flay their opponents, often impolitely. In Philadelphia last year they formed the Independent Board for Presbyterian Foreign Missions, which their Church soon outlawed (TIME, April 23 et seq.). And in Philadelphia this year they brought heresy charges against eleven local ministers who had signed the liberal Presbyterian "Auburn Affirmation." The charges were dismissed...
