Supreme Court decision empowering them to close their primaries to Negroes on the ground that the Democratic Party has the status of a private club in regulating its membership, the news that 1,500 Negroes had nevertheless voted in Fort Worth in last month's primary provoked a bitter intraparty squabble...
...trial which had filled the press of New York City and the nation with surprises for a month, this was a fittingly strange ending.

On August 15, the 52 divisions of the German Army had begun a month of divisional training. Corps maneuvers in the 18 corps areas were under way this week.
