...Paul speech was the peak of a gratifying week. At every village, town and city, the crowds waited in startling numbers. Dayton turned out more than 50,000 strong. Akron's rubber workers and the Democratic machine put on the biggest political show in the city's history; more than 60,000 stood for two hours along the main streets, cheering wildly as Truman passed. In Springfield, Ill., the oldtime campaign flares were burning and streets were packed twelve deep. In Duluth, half the city (pop. 110,000) lined Superior Street for more than two miles, clambered...
Last week fast-moving ECAdministrator Paul Hoffman made a fast trip to Europe to try to stop the dismantlement and removal-for reparations-of industrial plants in Western Germany. Eastbound, he rode on the presidential plane with Secretary of State Marshall. ("It was," said Hoffman, "the highest-level hitchhike in history.") Next day he conferred with sprightly Foreign Minister Schuman in Paris; the next, with tired, grumpy Foreign Minister Bevin in London; and a day and a half later, he was back in Washington, holding a press conference. He was natty in a dark blue suit but he needed...
...bells of St. Paul's Chapel tolled the zero hour (2 p.m.), a 700-man academic task force debouched from Nicholas Murray Butler Library and cut across the campus north to Low Memorial Library.

Oxford was represented by British Ambassador Sir Oliver Franks, the University of Pennsylvania by President Harold Stassen, Kansas State College by President Milton...
...Nation, 83-year-old journal of opinion, was among the missing. A little digging uncovered what the board of school superintendents had not announced. The board had voted not to renew its 18 Nation subscriptions, on the ground that the weekly (circ. 42,000) had printed articles by Paul Blanshard, onetime New York City commissioner of accounts, criticizing the Catholic Church's stand on fascism, science and censorship of books and movies. The offending copies were yanked out of the school libraries...
Paramount Pictures' Paul Raibourn. who has made his studio a TV pioneer, sounded optimistic about the movies' future. But he gave the new living-room wonder its due. His own research staff had reported that a new television set in the home not only does away with radio listening while it is on,* but also cuts 20% to 30% off such leisure pursuits as driving, reading-and moviegoing...
