...mammoth shoes of Clint Frank and Larry Kelley when the product of Odell's first year effort trots into the Bowl. Individual stars are not an essential ingredient in the Odell formula, nor is any November circus stuff to be expected from this Eli mentor who is an avowed fundamentalist...
...Japanese have held three fundamentalist Presbyterian missionaries incommunicado in Manchukuo since Oct. 22. Protests by the U.S. State Department have failed even to elicit the charge against the missionaries. Four days after the arrest at Harbin, the Japanese hustled the trio-Dr. and Mrs. Roy M.

During the 17-month squabble, the parish lost seven of its 26 branch churches, 1,100 members...
Editors of the volume are venerable John Dewey and a fellow philosopher, Professor Horace M. Kallen of Manhattan's New School for Social Research. Although Earl Russell is now safely berthed as a lecturer in the Barnes Foundation art school near Philadelphia, the authors believe the triumph of "fundamentalist clerics, machine politicians and professional patriots" who had him ousted from C.C.N.Y. remains a peril to freedom of learning in the U.S. Some of their points...
