...citizens doubtless will. Among them is John David Sweeney Jr., blue-eyed, sturdy, unmarried, 23. After graduating last June from Princeton, where he belonged to Colonial Club, he took a month off in Bermuda, then went to work as shipping clerk in his father's business the Royal Eastern Electrical Supply Co. of Brooklyn. He lives with his family in a 15-room house in suburban New Rochelle, N. Y. Like his father, mother and younger brother, he voted for Landon last month.

Professor McIlwain's masterly discussion for today's CRIMSON of the constitutional reverberations of England's matrimonial uproar presents the case for the King with all its strength most advantageously arrayed.
