...Senate had convened that day in a state of sheer hot-weather weariness that the passage of the Housing Bill (see p. 10) the day before had not done much to help. One fair indication of the Senate's state of mind was that, in a rush of minor bills on which there was no debate, it had approved one, to give merchant seamen whose certificates are suspended the right to appeal to the Secretary of Commerce, which had already been enacted. An even better indication was that, after the non-controversial bills were passed, only about 20 members...

...Michelson as a shadow at high noon. In last week's White House press conference he sat glumly as usual at Franklin Roosevelt's right hand. To his poker-playing pals in the Press Club, to whom he consistently loses $50 a month, he seemed not to mind. Not even they could figure why Charley wanted another pay check.

...lightly criticisms of his bill by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Last week he rasped harshly in his hour of triumph at the Primate of All England: "I am bound to say that I am not able-and not for the first time-to follow the workings of that great mind!" C. Prominent Protestant M. P.s such as Winston Churchill hurried with Jewish colleagues like Major James de Rothschild, M. P. to packjam the galleries of the House of Lords last week as it began debate on the Government bill to partition Palestine into a Jewish State, an Arab State...

...this movement has produced, amid much Marxian sentimentality, such eloquent mutations as Archibald MacLeish's Panic, Public Speech, Fall of the City (TIME, April 19). Meanwhile Edna St. Vincent Millay, the best contralto of them all, has kept her verse dainty and her emotions uppermost in her mind. Last week for the first time...
