...attempted. The new National Association of Broadcasters code, if enforced by the 51 stations constituting Father Coughlin's pickup chain, would effectively bar him from the air as a lone-ranging controversialist. One station (WIRE of Indianapolis) has already barred Father Coughlin, but the showdown on all 51 may not come for some months. And before then there may be a new choosing-up of sides. Said the liberal, anti-Coughlin Christian Century last week: "We regard this as the worst possible way of dealing with his brand of demagoguery...
...national day of prayer, the Archbishop of Canterbury said: "The whole people of the United Kingdom, as they enter upon the terrible ordeal of war, may be able to join together as one company in committing the national life and cause to Almighty God."* Said Roman Catholic Canon Martin Hewlett: "They at home . . . should invoke the powerful aid of the Queen of Heaven to protect England, her dowry, in this time of crisis...

One curious brake on this big advance is contractors' fear that war, if it lasts more than a year, may more than double costs, as it did last time. So they are afraid to bid for jobs taking two years or so to finish. Thus, in New York City last fortnight, only one bid was offered for a whopping new Criminal Courts Building, and it was nearly...
