Ohio's Vic Donahey has lately boasted that he will vote against the Pope-McGill Farm Bill pending in the Senate on the ground that he cannot understand it. This was practically the only complaint not offered by various rebellious members in the House last week, as Chairman Marvin Jones of the Agriculture Committee maneuvered his 86-page Farm Bill toward the first vote taken in either House on a part of the President's program for the special session...
Since the House bill is destined to be rewritten in Conference after the Senate passes the Pope-McGill Bill, Administration leaders completed the first month of the special session with the hardest part of their No. 1 job still ahead. Both House and Senate bills aim to give Secretary Wallace more power to deal with mounting farm production than he possesses under last year's makeshift Soil Conservation Act.

Her father, Count Camillo Pecci, was Commander of the Noble Guards of the Vatican and a leader of the "Blacks" who, before Conciliation with Mussolini in 1929, upheld the Papal Court in Roman society against the "Whites" who honored the King. Her mother was the Spanish Marquesa des Bueno, descendant...
...Pope Pius XI has not yet given U. S. Roman Catholics the new, fifth Cardinal that many of them feel entitled to, but he has consistently created new archdioceses wherever he has felt that Catholicism was flourishing. Having since 1922 made archiepiscopal sees of San Antonio, Los Angeles and Detroit, Piux XI last week did the same for Newark, N. J. and Louisville, Ky., which brings the number of U. S. archbishops...
