Labor Boss Jouhaux might have chosen to order a General Strike when Premier Daladier broke up the French Popular Front (TIME, Nov. 7), or on account of the "rape of Czechoslovakia," or immediately after Daladier announced his latest batch of decree-laws. In fact, a Labor leader chooses to general-strike when he gets a hunch he can win. It was on such a hunch that Labor Tsar Jouhaux acted last week. He has his desk in the control tower of the French General Labor Confederation's renovated, seven-story Paris "skyscraper." There last week he telephoned, telegraphed...
...Pasadena's Rose Bowl, original of the dozen copies of the countrywide Bowl fashion, is still the No. 1 post-season game of the U. S. Contrary to popular impression, it is not a contest between the best Western and best Eastern team.

Last week Liddell Hart published Through the Fog of War, contributing little new material, but .including a moving epilogue as fine as anything he has written. People who talk of preventing war are already two years...
Considering the title and the trite subject matter, "Hold That Coed," current feature at the University is good entertainment. The gags go over well; the songs are fair. George Murphy, the coy hero, might be popular with the Radcliffe girls, but he doesn't stand up against John Barrymore who really acts in spite of his absurd part as governor-politician who gains reelection by backing his successful college football team. "Broadway Musketeers" is slushy-sentimental and not recommended. A short on gliding and soaring is well worth seeing for those interested in that most wonderful of sports...
