Most Popular Red. In Russia the political setup has now come to such a pass that production of the Soviet Encyclopedia of Literature has been halted, Soviet history books printed only recently have been withdrawn from the schools by order of Stalin, and a dispatch last week announced that the Commissariats for Education were expected to put some old Tsarist history books into Russian pupils' hands again. Reason: Soviet educators can agree that the Tsarist history books are wrong, cannot agree that any history of Russia written since the Revolution is even approximately right, and cannot find an eminent...
Stockbroker Starr and Frank G. Marcellus, who claims he is a cousin of the late Mrs. Garrett, quietly became administrators of the residuary estate, but four years passed before a public accounting was made at the instance of persons who became aware of the fortune. Two years ago, when the court was to pass on the audit, the fourth floor of Philadelphia's City Hall was as crowded as a County Fair, and Case No. 2552 of 1932 became a real problem for the Orphans' Court which William Penn set up 248 years ago. Within four months...

In New York's Bowery or Boston's Scollay Square any landlubber could buy papers saying he was an accomplished Able Seaman. Many authorities blamed this situation in part for the Morro Castle disaster. Last June, Congress passed the Copeland Sea Safety Bill, which...
Without doubt the United Auto Workers would be repudiated if 7a were applied, for a majority of the men seem to be opposed to that union. A form of compulsory arbitration is the pass word out of the impasse, assuring justice as far as it can be determined and saving the faces of both sides. Owners and unions alike ought to be haled into court if they cannot work together smoothly, for just as it has police power to coerce disorderly citizens, the public should have machinery to stop the endless and costly bickering of the current strikes...
