...would be interesting, I am sure, to most of the winter residents as well as to the 350,000 summer residents of Wildwood, to know what prompted you to describe Wildwood as "a hardened little resort town and fishing port between Atlantic City and Cape May," in your article of May 17 on our "Extraordinary Mayor." Just what constitutes "a hardened town?" 1 will gladly admit there is nothing Puritanical about Wildwood, and it is quite frankly a resort city. But that does not mean we are hardened.

Hungary, to the north of Yugoslavia, and Bulgaria to the east, are already in the Italian bag. Rumania is next on the list for conversion by Missionary Mussolini. Significantly Poland's pro-Nazi Foreign Minister Joseph Beck three weeks ago was in the Rumanian capital to explain that "Rumania is necessary to Poland...

Circuit Courts of Appeals and the presiding judges of State courts of last resort. Lawyers, law professors and other judges must be elected. Currently membership in this most austere and respected of legalistic deliberative bodies is only 702, despite a waiting list. Members who miss more than two annual meetings in a row are dropped...
