...acute, the administration decided that unless there was a future opening for a young instructor he must seek a position elsewhere after a period of apprenticeship. An impartial committee of eight professors appointed in 1937 to study this matter arrived at essentially the same conclusion as the administration. Their report submitted last spring has been accepted in principle...
...fodder. Skeptics, figuring out that this would mean a daily delivery of 16,666 tons, doubted that the Russian railroads could handle such volume, believed it would take at least a ship a day leaving Black Sea or Baltic ports to transport the fodder. >From Dairen, Manchukuo, came a report, later broadcast from Berlin, that the Russians had agreed to transport 1,000,000 tons of Manchukuoan soybeans over the Trans-Siberian Railroad to Germany within the next few months.

So they are afraid to bid for jobs taking two years or so to finish. Thus, in New York City last fortnight, only one bid was offered for a whopping new Criminal Courts Building...
...hrer's mental collapse. Although he can no longer claim to speak with a patriotic objectivity, Dr. William Brown, director of Oxford's famed Institute of Experimental Psychology, last week upped the number of such diagnoses to 14: "Sir Nevile Henderson's final report on the actions of Herr Hitler confirms my conclusion . . . that he has every symptom of the paranoiac who is suffering from persecutory mania and whose brainstorms and megalomania will increase until his madness is so apparent that he must be isolated...
