Wandering Chicagoan. At the Rehn Gallery, Chicagoan Aaron Bohrod, 29, showed new and better work than the half-comic paintings of sleazy Chicago scenes by which he is known. Pontificated New York Times Critic Edward Alden Jewell: "Between the minor if vaguely haunting tightness of those minutiae and the ripe, fluent graciousness of the present work, a vast difference publishes itself." Still this side of graciousness but studied with uncommon depth were Aaron Bohrod's new subjects: poor whites, exhausted interiors of tourist cabins, a trailer camp, a sidewalk in New Orleans...

Last week President Weber called representatives of radio, cinema and record companies...
When cherubic Winston Churchill, who feels keenly that he received no bid to enter the Chamberlain Cabinet and is making the Prime Minister pay dear for this slight, arose with his innocent air, the House of Commons was ripe for the deft amendment he proposed. This was that the House, instead of approving the Government's proposal to partition Palestine and submitting this act of the Mother of Parliaments to the "yes" or "no" decision of the League of Nations, should simply send the Government proposals to Geneva. Thus, if the League says...
