Labor Boss Jouhaux might have chosen to order a General Strike when Premier Daladier broke up the French Popular Front (TIME, Nov. 7), or on account of the "rape of Czechoslovakia," or immediately after Daladier announced his latest batch of decree-laws. In fact, a Labor leader chooses to general-strike when he gets a hunch he can win. It was on such a hunch that Labor Tsar Jouhaux acted last week. He has his desk in the control tower of the French General Labor Confederation's renovated, seven-story Paris "skyscraper." There last week he telephoned, telegraphed...
Grynszpan was being held under two charges: the capital crime of murdering the German Embassy Third Secretary Ernst vom Rath; and the technical but grave charge of having remained in France in defiance of an order issued to expel him from the country as an undesirable alien some time before his crime. Previous Paris dispatches saying he would likely be guillotined for the murder were superseded by guesses that he would be let off without hard labor...
Contents of The Upper Room: daily Biblical quotations, brief homilies, prayers and "A Thought for the Day," each page contributed by a different churchman or layman (usually but not always a Methodist).

While U. S. campuses rang with denunciations of Adolf Hitler, the Führer last week decorated five U. S. pedagogues with the Order of Merit of the German Eagle. The New York Times promptly wired the professors to find out if they would accept the awards. A reply came from Iowa-born Karl Frederick Geiser, a retired Oberlin College professor whose highest previous honor was a teaching fellowship in Germany during 1936-37. Author of a work called Democracy versus Autocracy (1918) and of a translation of Sombart's Deutscher Sozialismus (1937), Professor Geiser wanted to keep...
...other possibilities, and the strongest of those is Judge Lehman of the New York Court of Appeals and brother of the Governor. Reports were rife last September, when Governor Lehman was being urged to save Democracy from Tom Dewey, that if the Governor would only run, his brother could order a new black robe and take his place at one end of the Supreme Bench. It is just because those reports were so frequently heard that it would be extremely embarrassing now for the President to appoint Mr. Lehman...
