...number of supplementary bills now necessary to make up deficiencies. With one bill covering the whole budget, Congressmen would be more fully aware of the extent of their expenditures. Responsibility for the public debt would be more sharply focussed on one all-important vote. Realizing this, Congressmen would hold pressure groups in much less regard. An omnibus appropriations bill, however, would hamstring the President completely, unless he were allowed an item veto...
Walt Stahura combines speed and hitting power in the cleanup to hold center-field, but the other two starting outfield positions continue to be doubtful as five men battle for the jobs. At present, Hugh Slotkin is in right and batting seventh, and Ken Hathaway, who has three hits for three at bats, plays in left.

...preliminary opinion, an ICC official held that McGinnis and friends are al ready violating the ICC act, which forbids one railroad to take over control of another without ICC permission. At the annual meeting of the New Haven last week, Pat McGinnis strengthened his hold on that road.

...Blackstone challenged a carpenter's union to build a box that could hold him. Shortly afterwards he found himself tied fast, squeezed into a box measuring 40 inches square. He was lowered by crane into a fast-rushing river. But suddenly the shaft-pin broke and the box fell into the water. When Blackstone smashed thought the pine wood bottom and came to the surface, he was dangerously close to some falls. He was but feet from the edge when he freed himself from his ropes and grabbed a cable stretched across the river to keep boats from going over...
