...bill to permit exports of helium in ''non-military" quantities; a bill authorizing $2,760,000 to be appropriated for restoring U. S. wildlife (see p. 48); a bill providing $2,000,000 to purchase reindeer herds for Alaskan Eskimos and Indians.

Before the Labor Board could pass on the case, the A. F. of L. took its iron-clad contract to a Federal district court, which ordered National Electric to live up to its terms-an order the company gladly obeyed. Last week, just as National Electric was posting this order throughout its plant, the Labor Board cracked down with a thunderous ruling that the A. F. of L. contract was "void and of no effect."

Erickson, four other American residents, Commissioner Fields, eight Negroes grabbed rifles, tear-gas guns, cartridges, shot their way clear to the launch...
...built to God's glory in California. Two are in ruins, one has become a museum, the others are partially restored and used for religious services. The Jesuits had evangelized Lower California from the time they appeared in the New World, but by 1767 -six years before the Order was suppressed by the Pope because of secular outcries against it-the black-cassocked fathers and their work in California became unpopular and they were ousted. Their work was taken over by brown-cassocked Franciscans under the leadership of 54-year-old Fray Junipero, who had been born in Majorca...
