Dean M. Kerl, in his letter to the Oct. 2 issue of TIME, makes a good point but overlooks, I think, the latent power to be represented that is actually in the hands of voters between the ages of 21 and 30. Unless I am greatly mistaken voters between the ages of 21 and 30 outnumber the older voters. If this is so youth, in the interests of youth, and old people like me, should forget party affiliations and force an amendment to the Constitution.

A plastic and gracious personality, she likes to travel (24,000 mi. on a speaking tour through Britain during the past year) and particularly in the U.

The Viceroy told her the best way to understand the American people was to attend their national political conventions. She went to both in 1936, then went coast-to-coasting in a fifth-hand Buick. To understand the Americans...
...Bishop Sheil said: "What he [Cardinal Mundelein] authorized me to say was controversial-something he would not have wanted to have said for him-except that he felt that others had created a situation which might be mistaken to compromise the position of the Catholic clergy toward the Congress of the United States, and toward his great friend and admiration, the President. ... It constitutes disrespect for wisdom and experience, and is a positive impediment to our democratic process, deliberately to bludgeon Senators and Congressmen with letters and telegrams which can only be counted and not read...
