...yards away, were the Bismarck and the Prinz Eugen. The Suffolk ducked back into the fog in a hurry (the Bismarck's guns had a range of 40,000 yards), then gingerly shadowed the big ship by radar through the night until the British battle cruiser Hood and the new battleship Prince of Wales could go into action. What happened next shocked British witnesses and was soon to shock the world. One minute the swift battle cruiser Hood, biggest ship of the English fleet, was methodically firing from her 15-inch guns as she closed with the enemy...
According to Teacher Willis E. Anderson, the subject of Giuliano arose via a report presented by one of the 29 pupils at the morning program period, which they plan and conduct. Another pupil doubted that the outlaw was a "Robin Hood" and, after investigating the deeds of the original hero of Sherwood Forest, a majority of the class agreed. The rest dissented so vigorously that it was decided to try Giuliano for murder, one of the Italian Government's charges against him.

Colorado Territory (Warner) sets long-legged Joel McCrea to work on an old plot in a handsome new location.

Among the contributors were the late Historian Charles A. Beard, Novelist Betty Smith, and the university's ex-president (now U.S. Senator), Frank Porter Graham. Each took a different phase of the Henderson chronicle...
...senior this year (he is a Navy veteran), Wally wears his swimming fame lightly, but diligently grinds through 2,000 yards of daily practice. Iowa Coach David Armbruster says his star pupil has "a natural, aggressive heart," and better yet, "horses under the hood." Wally's own formula, he says, is knowing when to pull out when other swimmers are relaxing, and "usually that's enough to sneak me in." Swimming that way, he managed to sneak in ahead of ex-Yaleman Alan Ford at London last year; but he has yet, swimming that way, to sneak inside...
