Hailed before NLRB as a sample Rand-Bergoff employe was hog-necked, 260 lb., Sam Harris, better known as "Chowder-head" Cohen. A ubiquitous character whose appearance and language have made him the delight of the Press, he waddled into the news last winter as boss "fink" in New York City's elevator strike, again last autumn as witness before the Senate's civil liberties committee, again last month when he was set upon by striking seamen (TIME, Nov. 16). Last week he was quickly entered on the Board's books as a "hostile witness." A strikebreaker...
...many boys raised in Iowa go to sea, fewer still become admirals. Perhaps William Daniel Leahy would today be a corn-hog farmer if his Iowan parents had not moved when he was still young to Ashland, Wis., on the shore of Lake Superior. As it was, when he graduated from high school he wangled an appointment to the U. S. Naval Academy, and last week President Roosevelt announced that, effective Jan. 1 Admiral William Daniel Leahy, Commander of the Battle Force, will be Chief of Naval Operations, No. 1 U. S. sailor. He will succeed Admiral William Harrison Standley...

This month in the rugged Great Smoky Mountains of southeastern Tennessee in Cherokee National Forest, a few U. S. sportsmen will have a chance to gain closer acquaintance with the animal...
...birth lightning will strike, only large urban communities are medically prepared for it. No one expected a prodigious childbirth in the Bridges log cabin last week. When it did occur, Dr. Speidel, who delivered a dead set of quadruplets 30 years ago, imperturbably anointed the four Bridges children with hog lard, wrapped them in towels and rags. He told the wide-eyed neighbor women to give the babies, who weighed only 2½ to 3½ lb. each, "a little sugar water now and then." Next morning the boy and a girl died, next day a girl. The survivor, transported...
