...Germany last week the individual manufacturer or industrialist was forbidden to divulge how much he has been called on to contribute, forbidden to find out how much his keenest competitor is being assessed. Menaced with fresh Nazi warnings that there must be no grumbling, German industrialists big and small were paying up, but their disgruntlement was such that it could not be concealed. Privately they tipped off foreign correspondents that Economic Tsar Schacht's assessments are, in nearly all cases, heavy enough to absorb the harassed manufacturers' 1934 profits, and in many cases so heavy as to turn...
...pretext or another. In Boston the police ran the New Theatre Players out of two houses, finally locked up four actors on charges of "profanity and blasphemy." After winning the George Pierce Baker Cup at the Yale Drama School for its performance of the play, the Unity Players were forbidden in future to act Waiting for Lefty anywhere in New Haven.

...Lamps of China (Warner). When Hollywood producers last year were forbidden to make pictures as salacious as they wanted, they issued yelps that censorship would make the cinema more childish than it had been.

College in Springfield, Mass., where he talked to trackmen, wrestlers, footballers. Dancing, he argued, was originally a male prerogative, forbidden to women. Primitive men have always danced as a natural part of their worship. The young athletes who followed Shawn to his farm in the Berkshires knew that they would often be ridiculed, that they were entering a life which, as Shawn said, "is like joining a church." The training...
...taking the job of publisher with the late, crusading Fremont Older as editor. Virtually his first task was to deal with a reporters' strike. While rival publishers excitedly fired "agitators" from their staffs, Neylan soothingly sifted his own newshawks' grievances down to a complaint that they were forbidden to accept free theatre tickets. He rescinded the order; the strikers went happily back to work. A bitter opponent of the Newspaper Guild today, Lawyer Neylan likes to relate the Call strike episode as somehow illustrating the fallaciousness of a newspaper labor movement...
