...came at the beginning of spring-a faint rustle of interest after years of bored silence. As the season drew on, the clap-clap-clapping for a rally that once quickly faded began echoing through the ballpark in confident, continuing waves. By last week fans who had not bothered to see a game since Walter ("Big Train") Johnson retired in 1927 were hurrying to Griffith Stadium in time for batting practice, and dazzled team officials were saying that attendance for the year would be up 40%. The Washington Senators, long known for patty-ball hitting, were flashing the most exciting...
George Washington University's Dr. Winfred Overholser, 67, one of the nation's top professors of psychiatry, best known as superintendent of Washington's famed St. Elizabeths Hospital. Overholser's first interest was economics. A witty New Englander (Worcester, Mass.), he went to Harvard Business School, switched careers after a short stint as an attendant in a mental sanitarium.

The committee tacked on an amendment expressing the "sense of Congress" that the Federal Reserve Board should expand the nation's credit supply by pegging the price of Government bonds. Cried Fed Chairman William McChesney Martin Jr.: "This is an attack on the independence of the Federal Reserve Board. This...
...movie is bound to evoke interest and curiosity. The public will ever have a curiosity as to what goes on behind convent walls. The life of a nun will forever be a mystery to most; and this film gives a sensitive and dignified interpretation. For those unfamiliar with Roman Catholic ritual, many of the ceremonies will appear impressive. To those unfamiliar with religious life, much of the metamorphosis from girl of the world to cloistered nun will appear distasteful. Perhaps there is negative emphasis here. Convent life appears as a series of "cannots" and a continual warfare against human nature...
