...scholars had no reason to complain of lack of public attention. Scripps-Howard's glib Columnist Westbrook Pegler wrote two pieces about what he referred to as "Highbrows' Old Home Week." A new extension of geometry which made it appear that the whole is not equal to the sum of the parts (see below) served as a pat allusion for an editorial writer commenting on the cordial meeting between Alf Landon and Franklin Roosevelt (see p. 13), for a sportswriter gloating over the winning spurt of the New York Giants.

Early last week dispatches from a vacation spot in Colorado began to rustle through the becalmed leaves of the nation's Press.

In 21 months of Republican incumbency, he has flirted with Dr. Francis E.
