...Fletcher Bill, intended to wipe out the intellectual slums. The bill, which would appropriate $72,000,000 for Federal aid to education in the coming year and raise the ante to $202,000,000 by 1944, embodies the recommendations of the President's Advisory Committee on Education (TIME, March 7). Because it would permit Federal money to be used for books, bus service and scholarships for pupils in parochial (e.g., Roman Catholic) schools, it is opposed by Catholicophobes, led by Columbia University's Professor George Drayton Strayer. Meanwhile, to drive the bill out of the hostile House committee...
After a life of 48 years, during which it achieved a unique place in U. S. journalism, the Literary Digest last week was taken over by TIME, thus ceasing to exist as a separate publication. First issue of the Literary Digest appeared on March 1, 1890. Its publishers, Isaac Kauffman Funk & Adam Willis Wagnalls, classmates at Wittenberg College (Springfield, Ohio) and ordained Lutheran ministers, conceived the magazine as "a repository of contemporaneous thought and research as presented in the periodical literature of the world.'' In 1905 this formula was extended to include newspaper comment on the news...
Meditated for six years by the directors of Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art, this exhibition differs significantly from the great exhibition of British art now on view at the Louvre (TIME, March 14). It is neither blessed nor ornamented by any authority of the U. S. Government beyond the routine sponsorship of Ambassador William C. Bullitt. It is not confined to paintings. Besides 200 canvases, 40 sculptures and 80 prints, the exhibition includes probably the biggest historical show of native and derivative U. S. architecture ever displayed, an important collection of photographs, and an exhibition of stills...
Much as they love and respect other Christians, Baptists love more the saving grace of baptism, the freedom of worship without the ministrations of a priesthood. Baptists may well be the most sizable group of Christians who will not march toward world church unity with the World Council of Churches (see col. 2). Last week in Richmond. Va., 5,000 "messengers" (delegates) to the Southern Baptist Convention representing 5,000,000 Baptists in 18 States, applauded two frank statements of the Baptist position on unity. A committee thumbed down "any federation, council or what not that would hinder...
...Exchange found that on March 31 the 452 member firms handling margin accounts in the metropolitan area were custodians of free cash balances of $245,562,000 belonging to customers. After sampling 60 presumably representative firms with aggregate free customers' balances of $51,349,000, Exchange accountants last week confirmed Mr. Simmons' assertion. The Exchange discovered a general disregard of a joint opinion of seven law firms representing the largest brokerage firms on the Exchange. This opinion, written in 1934 as an aftermath of the Banking Act of 1933 which divorced deposit banking from underwriting and brokerage, held...
