Originator of the weekly lunchtime sessions is Bangor's mild-mannered School Superintendent Homer Hendricks, 40, a Methodist. After hearing a talk by a local Roman Catholic priest stressing the need for closer ties between Bangor's churches and its youngsters, Hendricks decided to fill the gap. With the support of local clergymen and parents, he made available each Tuesday a classroom for any minister who would spend the 45-minute lunch recess with pupils of his faith. Attendance is entirely voluntary. For the first sessions, held early last month, 100 pupils showed up, some with their Bibles...
Indiana's Republican Senator Homer Capehart decided to get in a few political licks: Did Funston agree? Funston neatly dodged the question. Said he: "I would agree it shows confidence in the future, but what the exact reason is, I don't know." Fulbright wanted to know if the exchange's campaign to get more investors in the market was not "inflationary" in that it contributed to the shortage of stocks. The object, said Funston, was not to persuade people to buy but "to create a climate where our members can sell stocks." To the "two miracles...
...plan is simply to divide all English humor into nine categories, with samples, and prefix one long introduction and nine shorter ones. Perhaps there is some virtue in classifying humor in this manner, as much, anyway, as there is in making nine arbitrary divisions of, say, literature since Homer.

Potter himself must realize this, when he says of humor: "Perhaps its history is its meaning...
...Dwight Eisenhower's brand of Republicanism. On the other side is U.S. Senator William Ezra Jenner, who stands in the core of the G.O.P. element that opposed Eisenhower before the Republican Convention in 1952, and still opposes him much of the time. Somewhere in between is U.S. Senator Homer Capehart, who has been on the Jenner team but appears to be edging toward the middle...
...Craig makes a good record and can hold control of Indiana's G.O.P. machinery, he will have a good chance to name his successor in 1956 (Indiana law bars a governor from succeeding himself). He has said he will not run against Homer Capehart in 1956, but he has not said what he intends to do in 1958, when Jenner's present term ends. With firm power Craig might be able to control both senatorial nominations. On the other hand, if Jenner can stop Craig from consolidating his strength, Jenner will stand a good chance of seating...
