...were determined to develop into a frontal attack on Fascism, there might have been likelier promoters than Churchman Brown, the scion of the banking Brown Brothers who married Anne Spencer Morrow and Charles Augustus Lindbergh, who lives well on Park Avenue in Manhattan, and planned after the Conference to golf with other members of the Royal & Ancient Club of St. Andrews. Last week Dr. Brown was far less in evidence than such U. S. churchmen as Union's passionate Reinhold Niebuhr or deliberate Henry Sloane Coffin, Princeton Theological Seminary's John Alexander Mackay, Presiding Bishop James De Wolf...
...years ago, President Mackie went to Princeton Theological Seminary, spent a quarter-century in a church in a Philadelphia suburb called Sharon Hill, where he organized what is supposed to be the only church-owned country club in the U. S. complete with clubhouse, swimming pool and 18-hole golf course.

Crosby golf match finally caught the eye of someone who knew La Verne Moore and was interested in finding him. This was Police Inspector John Cosart of Troop D, Oneida, N. Y., who clipped the article, sent it to Inspector Joseph Lynch at Malone, N. Y. who sent Moore's fingerprints to Los Angeles...
Story of Montague's arrest contrasted sharply with reports of all his previous Hollywood activities. Shy no longer, he last week posed for photographers as often as they wanted, even let them photograph his hands to show how he held a golf club in his celebrated fingers. Asked how he had succeeded in Hollywood he answered: "I let the other guy's girl alone." Still amiable, he discussed the holdup: "I got into a jam when I was a wild young kid. . . . I'm glad it's over. I had intended going East and clearing this...
