Each of the four crimes of violence mentioned in your article, committed during the last month or so in Marion County, Ind., has been definitely solved by the state police, the county sheriff and the Indianapolis police force, with the result that the twelve criminals involved are now all under arrest, all have confessed, and the cases will very shortly be called for trial...
...many of you undoubtedly know from reading your newspapers and TIME, one result of this effort by the U.S. press to tell its readers about the Navajos' plight has been a cascade of letters to Congress and the White House. Significantly enough, several Congressional committees have now visited the Navajo reservation. Another result, of course, has been the multitude of contributions from all over the U.S. for Navajo relief. In case there could be any doubt of their necessity, a letter we have received from the justly famed American Friends Service Committee speaks for the accuracy of the press...
...once there was a shining semblance of unity in France: unity against the Communists. As a result of unity, there was victory. Future battles might have different outcomes, but in this one, at least, France had beaten the "Cocos."

Breeding stock as well as steers have been slaughtered. Result: the total of U.S. cattle has dropped to 76 million, down 3,000,000 in a year. This has saved grain for Europe, but it will mean much less meat for the U.S. next year. Furthermore, the production of beef, which rises and falls in a regular seven-year cycle, is now on the downgrade and will slide till...
