Enigmatically New Brunswick's masses marched to the polls. When their ballots were counted glum Conservative Tilley was forced to resign and in as Premier breezed Liberal Allison A. Dysart. This made New Brunswick the fifth of Canada's nine provinces to "turn the Conservatives out." Only the smallest province, Prince Edward Island, which will vote this month, remains Conservative. In Ottawa discouragement among Conservatives was so acute that within the Party there was talk that Mr. Bennett might abruptly retire and put in the field some other Conservative whom Canada's mob had not become accustomed...
...bloody Feb. 6, 1934, Prefect Chiappe was charged with allowing Royalists and Fascists to riot their heads off, smashing Communist and Socialist demonstrations ruthlessly. Socialists asked and got the head of Prefect Chiappe as the price of their support of the luckless Daladier government. Prefect Chiappe was forced to resign. To keep him quiet Premier Daladier reached deep into his plum bag for one of the juiciest of all French administrative posts-the Governorship of Morocco. Still gambling on his popularity in Paris, Jean Chiappe turned the offer down...
...that the Brain Trust was all but in the pay of Moscow made a farcical Congressional investigation last year (TIME, April 23, 1934). Second puff flurried up portentously fortnight ago when Ewing Young Mitchell, whom the President had to oust as Assistant Secretary of Commerce because he would not resign, charged that the Commerce Department was rife with "serious derelictions . . . scandalous abuses . . . improper graft and favoritism" (TIME, June 24). Again Congress did its inquisitorial duty and the Senate Commerce Committee spent three footling days last week investigating the Mitchell allegations...
...useless to argue which side is most at fault. Legislators, initiative petitions, green paint, dynamite, burglars, proselyted athletes, and a hundred other things have been used in the fight between the two schools ever since the oldest professor can remember. Presumably it is easier for one man to resign than to fight the firm beliefs and emotions of an entire opposing faculty. But under all the circumstances the failure to bring harmony as Chancellor is no more a complete indictment of Dr. Kerr's ability than the failure of the peace overtures after his election was a discredit...
...conference was called to give Bob Sweitzer opportunity to convince the Board of the elusive funds' whereabouts. For two hours Bob Sweitzer attempted unsuccessfully to "locate his principal" by telephone. At 9 p. m. the Board ended the prolonged Sweitzer fantasy by first offering him a chance to resign, then ousting him by a vote of 14-10-0. Simultaneously Bob Sweitzer's doom was doubly sealed when local Democratic bigwigs meeting at the Morrison Hotel firmly decided to sacrifice one of their oldest and best votegetters on a pyre of his own I.O.U.'s to replace...
