Most Naval officers sided with the Admiral. They still had tongues in cheek when Charles Edison finally had the Navy award prizes for the best U. S. mosquito and subchaser designs (TIME, April 10), later let contracts to U. S. manufacturers for four 110-to 174-foot chasers eight 59-to 81-foot mosquitoes. Last week the Navy's Brass Hats ate crow. They conceded that: 1) their civilian Secretary was right, and 2) they now had to turn to the British for the best mosquito boats...
Fiction: Scholem Asch's "The Nazarene" is a fine and compelling account of the life of Christ, occasionally marred by the somewhat unnecessary framework. . . .

...Lacey can probably win the 175 pound position even reporting late, but another Junior, Dunc Longscope, and Senior Dick Lewis will let him know that the has been through a real dog-fight. Sophomore Dick Aldrich is close on the heels of both men. Almost the same thing applies to the heavyweight class where grappler-manager Tudor Gardiner holds forth. Big Vern Miller will undoubtedly learn a lot of wrestling in a few weeks under Pat Johnson, but hard-working Gardiner will give him a good battle before being displaced. Dick Harlow's endorsement of wrestling for many...
