...recognized to call up the District of Columbia Airport Bill. The Helium Bill was passed as Senator King sat near Leader Barkley. He rustled his papers and prepared to get up with the Airport Bill but was slow on his feet. New York's Senator Robert Wagner rose and said: "Mr. President, I move that the Senate proceed to the consideration of Calendar No. 814, the bill ... to assure persons within the jurisdiction of every State equal protection of the laws and to punish the crime of lynching...

It gives the clowning Ritz Brothers the opportunity to extract the last zany twist from such sequences as playing a swing version of chopsticks, dressing as charwomen to break into the Y. W. C. A. To adept Song Pluggers Alice Faye and Tony Martin, Mack Gordon & Harry Revel have supplied a tiptop score of which the most singable...
