Although President Cárdenas does not want to wipe out the priest or the Church as have some of his predecessors, the job of his village teachers is to combat the in fluence of those "propagators of superstition," the village priests. Individualists and pious Mexicans make things hot for the President's idealistic school teachers. Twenty-five have been murdered so far this year. The peasants have developed a fondness for cutting off the ears of teach ers they do not care to murder. So the President's teachers all tote guns, and frequently have...
Eleven years ago, Rev. Paul Schulte, a strapping, blond German priest of the Roman Catholic order of Oblates of Mary Immaculate, founded the Missionary Communications Association, to keep missionary outposts of the Church in touch with the world. Its motto : Obviam Christo terra marique et in aera ("Toward Christ by land and sea and in the air"). Lately, Father Schulte, a crack pilot who wears his Roman collar under his flying togs, has been in northern Canada planning an aerial transport service for missionaries in the Arctic.

But it was not so routine that Father Schulte, as he flew north with his mechanic, Brother Beaudoin, omitted to inform the New York Times about his activities.

Should he finish the act the audience of 10,000 was waiting for, or return ignominiously to safety? The afternoon wore on, evening came. Still John Warde had not solved his problem. At 10:38 he heard the rustle of a rope...
...enough to go to Marvin College at Clinton. He later put himself through Emory College (Georgia) and the University of Virginia Law School. He got his first job in the law office of Paducah's Judge W. S. Bishop whom Paducah's Irvin Cobb immortalized as "Judge Priest." Slow of mind and body, but powerful and persistent, in his career from there up to Majority Leader he had only two lucky breaks: he voted to seat Franklin Roosevelt as a delegate to the 1920 Democratic convention; and the late Joe Robinson picked him as his lieutenant-leader when...
