Only since 1863 has Thanksgiving had a consistent year-to-year day, but football coaches were furious: 30% of them had games scheduled Nov. 30 which would now play to ordinary weekday crowds. Calendar-makers took the blow quietly except for Elliott-Greer Stationery Co. of Amarillo, Tex., which happily discovered it had designated Nov. 23 as Thanksgiving Day by mistake. Alf Landon sounded off in Colorado as follows: ". . . Another illustration of the confusion which his impulsiveness has caused so frequently during his administration. If the change has any merit at all, more time should have been taken in working...
...Japanese Army was furious with its Government for removing Tientsin negotiations to Tokyo, and has been trying to sabotage the parleys all along. The Army hopes for a holdout, and a breakdown of the Tokyo negotiations. "Such a development," said pudgy, suave Major General Masaharu Homma, Commander of the Tientsin Garrison, who learned to hate the British as an Oxford student, "can only be welcomed.

...found the blue sedan, a stolen one, and a fired gun, but not the killer. They were mystified until Republican District Attorney Tom Dewey's office down in Manhattan called up to ask a bodyguard for Philip Orlovsky.

To his mind this just showed how right he was in seeking to rid his party of such obstructionists. And a Senator who voted with George was Iowa's Guy Gillette, another purge-marked man. Mr. Gillette denied that his motive now was revenge for 1938, but that made Franklin Roosevelt feel no better about his worst defeat of all this session. He conferred with Cordell Hull about what they should do next...
...Government first learned of it from news dispatches came, however, as a surprise. Two months ago in a speech at the Embassy he violated diplomatic good manners by accusing Great Britain of a "foolish and criminal campaign of lies" against Germany and Italy and scoffing at the democracies' "furious impotence." But it was hinted that the Ambassador had spoken as a result of explicit orders from Rome and under protest, for he has been considered a moderate. Optimistic Britons hoped last week that his recall indicated that Dictator Mussolini wants him in Rome to put the brakes on Foreign...
