...best a makeshift solution. If the University again begins to encourage acceptance of restricted funds, there would be no reason why scholarships could not be established for any group that the donor thought was being treated unjustly. Money that could be put to valuable use would again pour into funds for men named Murphy or South Boston Newsboys or residents of Greater Los Angeles. As long as there is no evidence that the University employs discriminatory practices in its admissions or scholarship policy, unrestricted funds and gifts are greatly preferable to bequests for anyone's favorite underdog, even when...
...rules in Florida last week, and the knee-action and eye-gougings could be felt from Pensacola to Fort Lauderdale. Fast-talking George Smathers had learned the art of campaigning from Senator Claude Pepper. Running against the master (TIME, April 3), he showed that he had learned how to pour salt in Pepper's old wounds. Fishing out an old newspaper clipping at every campaign stop, Smathers read Pepper's reported 1946 advice to the U.S.: pray for Joseph Stalin because he is; the kind of man Americans could trust...

...stuck to the picture to point up the lost opportunities. The film begins promisingly with the trumpeter as an unloved, unhappy kid (well played by Orley Lindgren) who first discovers music in a mission house piano and musicians in a nightclub's Negro band, then starts to pour his soul into a pawnshop horn. Grown up into a hot trumpet man under the tutelage of the Negro bandleader (Juano Hernandez), he knocks around gin mills and boardinghouses in the sleazy insecurity which hounds all small-time musicians devoted to an unpopular cult. But just when Trumpeter Douglas begins...
