Dr. John Robbins ("Jack") Hart Jr., Philadelphia Episcopalian, last summer founded an Anti-Mothball Society (TIME, July 12, 1937). Its motto: DON'T SLOW UP. Unlike many another church promotion scheme, which quietly expires after getting some publicity, the Anti-Mothball Society last week had by no means slowed up.

Last week, after long pondering St. Paul's School's offer, he returned a nolo docere, turned down...
...Orsay, last week was a stately military parade, enlivened by wave on wave of cheering, and by Gaelic chaffing at the expense of "That scared rabbit Sarraut!" As the King's car reached the Place de la Concorde, there broke out from the Eiffel Tower an enormous Union Jack, said to be the largest flag ever made, promptly cartooned by Robert Edmond Sparling in the Washington Herald as "A Warning to Dictators...
