ALTHOUGH STORY IN YOUR ISSUE OF FEB. 18 CORRECTLY SHOWS THAT PUBLICITY WAS MOTIVE BEHIND OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY'S BARRING OF NATHAN YAGOL FROM CAMPUS, YOU MAKE INACCURATE STATEMENT WHICH SHOULD BE CORRECTED. FIRST, YAGOL IS NOT AN INSTRUCTOR BUT A STUDENT AT EMORY UNIVERSITY. SECOND, DE KALB COUNTY GRAND JURY FOUND ABSOLUTELY NO GROUNDS FOR CHARGE THAT HE IS A COMMUNIST OR THAT HE HAS EVER ATTENDED A COMMUNIST MEETING. THIRD, OGLETHORPE FOOTBALL SQUAD NUMBERED ABOUT 30 INSTEAD OF 100 AND IT WAS INSPIRED TO ATTACK YAGOL BY COACH FRANK ANDERSON WHO SAW AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADVERTISE HIS INSTITUTION...
...Pittsburgh financier cried "Politics of the crudest sort!" Because Homer Cummings' law firm had handled many a damage suit against the Mellon-controlled Aluminum Co. of America, Mr. Mellon openly accused him of personal animus in going after more taxes.

Since devout Catholic Schuschnigg is a passionate Monarchist he explained to the bored, irreligious French over & over just how wonderful it would be to proclaim deep-dimpled, wavy-haired Habsburg Archduke Otto...
...hill on the west bank. All Budapest joined the usual peekaboo chase after H. R. H.-all except the rickety old Hungarian aristocrats who spend their days steaming stark naked in the hot springs pool of Gellert's Municipal Baths in Buda.* There, far from the grand hotels and cafés of Pest where Edward was disporting himself, the old Magyars went on stewing in their own sweat, with an occasional spot of tea or Tokay...
...might resent a Negro's impersonation of the Deity, invited a group of Southern editors, led by Clark Howell of the Atlanta Constitution, to review the play in Washington. They went home singing the praises of The Green Pastures so loudly that in October 1933 it began a grand tour of the South, which was continued, chiefly in one-day stands, last year. Only section of the nation unvisited by The Green Pastures is the Southwest. Reasons: too few Negroes, too few whites who know anything about Negroes. But elsewhere in the U. S., 2,000,000 people have...
