...useful function for staff members whose connection with the House and its going-on has been purely nominal. In this twin role, a series of review sections in each field requiring the graduation exams would identify non-resident members of the House staff with the House, and lend the seven divisions of the College something more than a dormitory aspect. Although this type of project has no precedent in the short history of the House Plan, there is no reason why it right not be fitted to the current need...
...show lacks is a usable plot, reasonably funny writing, good direction, and competent acting. Bits here and there lend a professional touch: Two songs, "Love Is a Random Thing" and "A Slight Case of Ecstasy" ought to make the rounds of the dance bands despite their indigestible lyrics.

...House of Representatives, where a Republican majority is even more likely, such men as Joe Martin, Charles Eaton of New Jersey, and Harold Knutson of Minnesota would assume leadership. Martin, who would replace Sam Rayburn as Speaker of the House, is on record as opposing Lend-Lease, the draft, and its extension, while advocating a general reduction of taxes for a government whose economic realm has been tremendously enlarged by national emergency. Facing Martha Sharp in the 14th District here, he has opposed workable trade agreements, price-control, and even a federal program of hot lunches for school children...
