Father Maguire was just the man for such a dispute. A native of Ireland, a onetime student at Oxford, he went to the U. S. as a newspaperman to report a big Labor trial, became a Roman Catholic soon afterward. Seldom does he figure in the news, but midwestern Labor and employers account him their best and most active mediator. He helped settle the long, bloody Kohler of Kohler (plumbing) strike in Wisconsin five years ago, has calmed many another row before it reached the headlines. Now sixtyish, he is a husky six-footer with a lined, full face...
London and Paris. From the democratic countries, correspondents could not report news as electrifying as the Führer's bombshell. There were no bold moves, flaming pronouncements, or grandiose imaginative surprises aimed at unnerving their potential enemy.

At week's end the Polish radio, protesting that "the limit of Polish patience is very near," turned from straightforward reporting of developments to a satiric debunking of the provocative propaganda its people were hearing from over the border. One German radio report had it that a certain retired Polish Army captain had been leading forays against Germans in Poland. Polish officials investigated, found that the captain had been dead...
...only a few U. S. industries-chiefly those which make war machinery for air and sea. One U. S. company which makes war machinery for both air and sea is Sperry Corp. What rearmament has meant for Sperry was told in part last week in that company's report for the first half...
