None of this means that Douglas MacArthur's hat is in the ring for the Republican presidential nomination. The general has repeatedly declared himself no candidate, a position he emphasized again last week by withdrawing his name from the New Hampshire primary (see above). Nor does it mean that a professionally organized MacArthur boom, or even boomlet, is under way. The G.O.P.'s state and local pols have eyes fixed on the Taft-Eisenhower duel; most of them are inclined to discount MacArthur's chances. The news, however, is that far more pro-MacArthur sentiment now exists...
During the war years, chemists from outside the state began taking notice of Fisher's experimental substation near Lubbock. The first sample of 2,4,5-T for tests on mesquite ("just enough to put in your hat") was delivered to him in 1945 by Dow Chemical Co. Later American Chemical Paint, which holds the original patent on 2,4,5-T, and Du Pont joined in. Today all three firms manufacture the chemical. Fisher started testing it on 80 five-acre plots, went on to larger areas which he sprayed from a plane at leafing time. In three...
Scandal Sheet (Columbia] takes a faded leaf out of such newspaper melodramas as Five Star Final (1931) and Gentlemen of the Press (1929). Reporter John Derek never takes off his hat, scoops not only the opposition but also the cops; ruthless Editor Broderick Crawford prints anything to get a rise out of his circulation.

...Spanish, anxious for U.S. aid and hospitable by nature, worked hard to make the fleet feel at home. A U.S. sailor's white hat was enough to get him free streetcar rides, free tickets for movies; wine was on the house in many flamenco joints. No one took exception to U.S.N. wolf-whistles at the señoritas. The Falangist Informacion Nacional helpfully printed, in its own enthusiastic English, the complete text of President Truman's State of the Union "Speack." Falangist party bigwigs were ordered not to wear their black uniforms, or to give their Fascist salute...
...tall, gaunt man in a wide-brimmed hat, accompanied by his Russian-speaking daughter, climbed aboard a Soviet DC-3 in East Berlin one day last week and was whisked off to Moscow. There the Russians rolled out the Red carpet for their guest : 60-year-old Pastor Martin Niemoller, head of the German Evangelical Church in Hesse, World War I U-boat captain, onetime Hitler follower and then for eight years Hitler's personal prisoner. Niemöller's mission to Moscow was clothed in strictly clerical garb. He simply wanted, he said, to confer with leaders...
