...parents and churchmen alike had a right to rub their eyes in wonder last week at the news from Britain. In the U.S. almost every State makes it a crime to give sectarian instruction in the public schools, but within a few weeks Parliament will actually make religious instruction and daily worship a statutory requirement for every school in the United Kingdom...
...hand last week to wish Centerline Godspeed, Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox and Rear Admiral William Henry Purnell ("Spike") Blandy, chief of Navy Ordnance, had good reason to rub their hands with satisfaction.

Keeping a baby spot trained on its former Berlin man, CBS since last July has had him covering home plate in its nightly European news roundups, named him last week to substitute for vacationing Commentator Elmer Davis. Meanwhile, plans were going ahead to feature him a fortnight hence on a Sunday-evening show (5:456 E.D.S.T.) called William Shirer and the News. After three weeks...
