Ships. Whereas Homer Martin would like to be a Strong Man and run U. A. W. according to his lights, National Maritime Union's Founder Joe Curran is a Strong Man who believes unions should run themselves. Last week hamfisted Sailor Curran was in trouble, trying to preserve his belief and his union at one & the same time...
...close of the union's first general elections brought N. M. U. feuds frothing to the surface last week. When the ballots were counted, Joe Curran, unopposed in the election, was nominally on top as president. But under him were four hostile members of the new national council of nine officers. Beefy, flaccid Fireman Jerome King defeated Communist Jack Lawrenson for secretary treasurer. Two others also were out & out anti-Curran men. A fourth leaned not so much against popular Joe Curran as against the Communist friends to whom he, though no Communist, turned for counsel in the union...
Last week it seemed that the principal Hearst princeling would be Joseph Vincent Connolly, who fortnight ago displaced Harry Murray Bitner as general manager of the Hearst Newspapers.

Shelley to start a Grand Jury investigation of the Earle regime. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court, 6-to-1 Republican, refused to halt this move. Governor Earle then turned to the General Assembly, Democratic by 150-to-53 in the House, 34-to-16 in the Senate. A special session would cost Pennsylvania's taxpayers anywhere from $300,000 to $750,000 but Governor Earle...
Senator Pat Harrison was vacationing in California, Senator Joe O'Mahoney was in Wyoming resting up for his Monopoly Investigation. So in Washington last week the committee charged with policing 1938's Senate campaigns was stripped down to dutiful little Senator Sheppard of Texas (chairman), urbane Senator White of Maine (the sole Republican), lumbering Senator David Ignatius Walsh of Massachusetts. In an air-conditioned office at the Capitol, this trio scanned reports from ten field investigators, kept the press informed of its opinions on the political campaign...
