...National Education Association by saying: "The place of the national government is not that of supplying funds in large amounts for carrying on the administrative functions of education in the communities, but to develop methods, ideals, and procedures and to present them, to be taken on their merits. . . . The object of those of us who seek the greatest possible advantages for all from education can, it seems to me, be accomplished without disturbing the initiative and responsibility of local and state units of government. . . .

Object of last week's attack, however, was not directly American Tobacco Co., but Merlin Aylesworth's National Broadcasting Co., nation-wide radio chain. Possibly despairing in their endeavor to convince the Lucky Strike makers of the evils of their course, the sugar & calorie forces turned their attention to the broadcasting...
...Washington last week of pneumonia. During his long medical career he had performed 1,500 post mortems including those of President James Abram Garfield and his assassin Charles Jules Guiteau; and Grant's second Vice President, Henry Wilson,† "I, Daniel Smith Lamb," he wrote in his will, "object to burial or incineration and had rather after my death, and if practicable, before any embalming is done, that an autopsy be made upon my body by some competent person." The competent person whom he preferred is Dr. Aleś Hrdlička, who is a doctor of medicine...
