...stop salt machine, the President was discovering that his New Deal liberalism was undamming an undisciplined torrent of independent Leftist movements all over the country: Huey Long's Share-the-Wealth Clubs, Prestonia Mann Martin's "Commons & Capitals," Dr. Francis Everett Townsend's pension scheme (TIME. Oct. 15). There was an EPIW in Washington. Some 200,000 persons were said to be enrolled in the Utopian Society. If this sort of thing kept on, conservatives predicted that they would probably be clinging to Franklin Roosevelt as the last man left in the country to defend property rights...
...Bavaria, but those there are as stubborn as Scots Calvinists. Of all the 28 onetime independent Lutheran state churches of Germany, only two up to last week still held out against the whip-snapping of Adolf Hitler's bullet-headed Realm Bishop Ludwig Müller (TIME, Oct 1 et ante). This bold pair were the provincial churches of Bavaria and Württemberg. Though 95% of Württem-berg's clergy had voted to support their anti-Nazi Bishop Theophil Wurm, the Nazi whip cracked early last week and Bishop Wurm, suspended last month, was permanently...
Chief revolter was Francisco Largo Caballero, who claims to be a purer Marxist than Stalin. As allies Largo Caballero had beguiled the pinkish Socialists of onetime Premier Manuel Azaña and the sectional patriots of perennially seceding Catalonia.

Sweden's aged King Gustaf, who mortally fears Soviet Russia, was having the Communist jitters again last week. Last month the League of Nations took U. S. S. R. into its fold of respectability (TIME, Oct. 1). Straightway King Gustaf, by no complicated chain of associations, thought of the Aland Islands. The Aland Archipelago in the elbow of the Baltic Sea separating Sweden and Finland is the ticklish spot in Sweden's naval strategy. Overlooking the harbor of Stockholm, the Alands are some 300 sandy, stony little islands and one big one. They are full of Swedes...
...defeat on another matter when the Bishops voted (49-to-38) that the Church's 213 deaconesses may marry and, furthermore, preach. ¶ Ordered by the Presiding Bishop to dispose "once and for all" of the seventh plea for reinstatement of Heretic William Montgomery Brown, ousted bishop (TIME, Oct. 8), a committee did so by, advising the Bishops to reject it. The Bishops concurred. ¶ A Young People's Conference tingled to a Leftish speech by Very Rev. John W. Day, dean of the Topeka, Kans. Cathedral, who flayed NRA as capitalistic, exhorted his hearers not to bear...
