Nobody contends that Harvard's 1939 eleven will go down in history as a world beater. Nobody who saw Saturday's game would predict a Rose Rowl bid for the Crimson forces. In fact nearly everybody feels we have, at beat. a "just fair" team. .... And bud to relate, those nobodies and everybodies are right...
...four wars, rammed home his main point -that war is beastly-with more armless, legless, headless corpses than had ever appeared on a screen before. The mechanical, impersonal accuracy of lens and film was sickening. Though critics praised the picture, audiences stayed away. But for fascinated fans who saw it again last week, World War II had given the film new, terrible, urgent meanings.

...succeed Northern Pacific's late Charles Donnelly is the job of big (225 Ibs.), reserved, ironhanded Charles Eugene Denney (59), taken from the presidency of the bankrupt Erie.

P. had a whopping $4,300,000 deficit; G. N. a piddling (for her) $2,700,000 profit. Today there is no talk of consolidating the twin grain, iron ore, lumber hauling roads that...
...more definite than that were the other generalizations of the four-day gathering and boat trip. Bankers saw small chance of Government agencies taking over their functions, denounced Federal deficits, deplored the growth of the Government-inspired U. S. "gimme" attitude, felt that no long-run good would come to U. S. business from World War II. On one issue, however, they were with President Roosevelt. They wanted the neutrality act revised...
