Almost coincidentally with Patriots Day, the bill requiring that all teachers take an oath to support the Constitution passed its third hearing in the lower house and is now to be sent to the upper chamber of the state legislature. This is proof positive of the legislators' patriotism and 100 per cent Americanism--at last to the American Legion, Elks and similar organizations who have waged the fight for its passage. It would be almost unfair to remind them in the glow of their present partial success that patriotism in days past meant staunch support of American traditions such...
...midst of much sound and fury these self-style "patriotic" organizations have campaigned to legislate Communism out of the halls of learning. One of the bill's supporters--in order to be doubly safe-guarded against subversive influences--even proposed that all school employees be required to take the oath of allegiance once a week.

Within an hour the courtroom was jammed with citizens eager to hear Andrew William Mellon defend himself...
...last week Stanley Forman Reed was sworn in as Solicitor General of the U. S. Taking that oath cost him $208 a month because he gave up a $12.500 job as general counsel of RFC to take the $10,000 Solicitorship General. But public advancement meant more than money to Mr. Reed, who is the husband of the Registrar General of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and in his own right a country squire and cattle breeder at home in Maysville, Ky. First called to Washington by President Hoover as counsel to the late Farm Board at $25.000 salary...
