Saltonstall, former Speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives, and unsuccessful Republican candidate for Lieutenant-Governor of Massachusetts, touched humorously on his own defeat last November and explained the Democratic victory on the grounds that the G.

...Legislative Executive-Judiciary struggle now raging at Washington with a shining new essay, distinguished for its inconsistency. Professor Corwin, like President Roosevelt and his colleagues, is one of that specie known as "impatient liberalists"--the specie which continually bemoans the "slowness and impracticality" of the amending process.

It concerns one Buzzy Bellew (Fred MacMurray), leader of a swing band which, reaching Vienna in a continental tour, ruins the business of the Franz & Elsa Strauss Waltz Palace. In the U. S. consulate, Elsa (Gladys Swarthout), who has gone...
