...Help Thy Neighbor in two and a half years has helped place 13,000 persons. Chicago's I Need a Job, over WGN and later WCFL, has placed some 2,400 in less than a year. Last week Detroit's I Want a Job, conducted by the Michigan State Employment Service over WWJ, turned its first birthday. It had placed a modest 225 of 346 applicants who appeared on the program. More interesting than its 225 successes were some of the men for whom it found no jobs...
...Olympics, the No. 1 hero was Negro Jesse Owens of Cleveland, winner of the 100-meter dash, 200-meter dash and broad jump.

Ordinarily, the matter would not have been discussed until the bishop's resignation came before the Episcopal House of Bishops, at its meeting next November. But last month two Michigan laymen brought suit against the bishop and four trustees, demanding an accounting and restitution of the funds. And last week the Chicago Tribune splashed out stories picturing 51-year-old Bishop Ablewhite as a worldly prelate, a drinker of Scotch whiskey and champagne...
...enjoyed, and to other restaurants where shows have been as good or not as good. It is no crime to eat and drink for enjoyment. . . ." As for the diocesan finances, Bishop Ablewhite said he could reveal nothing until Bishop Tucker felt ready to release a formal statement which the Michigan bishop had sent him. After Bishop Ablewhite's hasty trip south, Bishop Tucker gave reporters a statement which upheld Bishop Ablewhite's personal honesty, cast some doubt on his judgment...
