...regular election, Tammany backed O'Brien again. Jim Farley, with whom Tammany had been on the outs since Walker's trial, arranged a Recovery ticket headed by McKee. Outraged citizens of all parties united to form a Fusion ticket headed by Fiorello LaGuardia. In the election LaGuardia ran first, O'Brien last. Even Tammany saw that Boss Curry had blundered.

President Eamon de Valera ran last week for a third term. Election of an Irish Free State President is by the Dail, itself just newly elected in a poll which failed to give de Valera's Fianna Fail Party the absolute majority for which the President had hoped (TIME, July 12).

Such causes as the Scottsboro trials, if of no elective advantage, may crown the Liebowitz career with a judgeship. As for the clients his talents have freed, not all have lived to praise him.

Convict Max Becker, missing the electric chair for the prison guard's murder, went back to face prison guards who did not forget. The electric chair burns...
