...subsequent murders of all but one member of one of New York's wealthiest families. Joseph Calleia gets his oar in, but he is a friendly back-stabber this time. The solution to the mystery comes with the exposure in a most unconvincing manner of the least suspected person as the murderer.

Hitherto French courts have held that such an exemplary mistress, whether or not her master was also married, had a juridical right to share modestly with the relatives of her man in whatever is collected from the person to blame for the accident which killed him.

The American Legion, which last year soothed N.E.A. by withdrawing its support of the hated teachers' oath legislation of 27 States, appeared in the person of Oklahoma's eloquent Senator Josh Lee, who demanded a "draft of all money and materials of war as well as men."
