During the current race some independents have accused the CCA of levelling blanket attacks at all unendorsed candidates. It would be hard to deny this. The Association has too often tended to lump all independents into one group in campaign literature--the opposition, "politicians," "grafters," or just poor choices. The CCA does have a case, however, in that many of the strongest independents are opposed to Plan E government, and sworn to remove at least the PR section of the city Charter. With the system working well now, and expected to do better, there is little reason to elect...
Recent publicity about cancer, the two doctors declare, "seems to focus on a lump in the breast." Five years ago Saltzstein and Pollack got only the more serious cases, so that they performed as many operations for cancer as for "benign" (nonmalignant) tumors. Nowadays, women with less serious ailments rush in for consultation, and the doctors are performing twice as many operations for benign tumors as for cancer. And almost half the women who rush in, the doctors find, need no surgery...
...quite obvious that Mr. Friedrich has failed to distinguish between a movie which arouses prejudice, and one which, through method of interpretation, offends the arbitrarily imposed moral standards demanded of all pictures by one religion, but in no way attacks or stirs up hatred against this group. To indiscriminately lump the two into one category is both unwarranted and distinctly dangerous. There is a fundamental difference between propagation of hate and a disagreement over moral standards...
...associated nations." About half of the equipment would come from U. S. World War II surplus stocks. The material would be tailored for use against a big land invader, specifically Russia, including jet-driven aircraft, modern artillery, and small arms; the countries receiving the material would probably lump their armed services under a single command such as General Montgomery's brand-new "Uniforce," although the U. S. would retain no control as to the material's final disposition or use. The equipment cost one-and-a-half billion dollars...
That could be fixed. Angel Farrell paid a lump-sum $1,300,000 for the Warner Theater ("a cash deal is best") and closed Hold It! until he could reopen it in his own property. He shelled out $200,000 to make the house the town's plushiest and, with its silk-damasked walls, probably the gaudiest. When contractual snarls developed over transplanting Hold It!, Farrell switched from musicomedy to revue, signed up Comics Bert Wheeler and Paul and Grace Hartman, tossed in another $250,000 and put on All for Love. It was a critical flop...
