...argued that the law recognizes unborn children as living human beings in many other instances. It permits a child to inherit from a father who dies before the child is born. It calls abortion murder. Mrs. Wilson also added an argument: "The doctor's bill started long be fore the child was born. . . . The cost of supporting a child doesn't wait until its birth." The board of Tax Appeals, lacking a precedent to go by, reserved decision...
...patriarch in Franklin Roosevelt surges to the fore at Christmas. Last week the scenes at the White House were magnificently and typically Rooseveltian- swarms of children, hundreds of presents, a reading of Dickens' A Christmas Carol by the paterfamilias, a parade of family & guests to his bedside early Christmas morning to open stockings.

Admission by the University that union wages have almost done away with the annual surplus reaped each year by the Dining Halls brings to the fore again one of the most persistent problems in the administration of College finances. In this case the Temporary Student Employment Plan, which for seven years has been the chief beneficiary of the Dining Hall profits, is directly hit by the probable insolvency of the kitchen department. Again the question is raised whether or not salaries which meet union standards materially detract from the University's ability to give needy students a chance to work...
