...rubbed elbows with Farmer-Laborites but have preserved a state of truce. This year, in return for staying out of Wisconsin's gubernatorial primary, the Federation besought Governor La Toilette's aid for the Progressive candidacy of Representative Thomas Amlie for the Senate. Having earmarked the Senate seat for his faithful Lieutenant Governor Herman Ekern, the Governor supported Mr. Ekern against Mr. Amlie, although he tactfully refrained from making any speeches. Candidate Ekern trounced Candidate Amlie last week after a bitter Progressive primary, in which Amlie also had the support of Milwaukee's Socialist Mayor Daniel Hoan...
...20th Century traditional theology has taken a back-seat to political ideology, has not even done much back-seat driving. Reason: theologians, unlike political ideologists, have not known exactly where they want to go, nor how fast. Princeton Theological Seminary's President Dr. John Alexander Mackay, an articulate, lofty-minded Presbyterian with missionary experience, summed the matter up in his "historymaking" inaugural address at Princeton last year: "The new crusading religions (Fascism, Naziism, Communism) . . . are schooled in massive thought systems, which make the average Christians who come up against them feel like infants. . . .

But important seminarians averred that young men were taking a new interest in theological problems, are this year showing that interest by attending seminaries in larger numbers than before...
Presbyterian Princeton Seminary last week took a strategic seat in the theological van. To Princeton as guest professor (one year) of Systematic Theology -and possibly to fill permanently its Hodge professorship in that subject- came one of the ablest of European theologians, Dr. Emil Brunner, late of the University of Zurich. Princeton thus reinforced its support of the "New Orthodoxy," the new theology based on old revealed truths and largely associated with the name of Switzerland's Karl Earth (TIME, April 25). Often bracketed with Earth, but not his follower, Dr. Brunner is a Bible theologian, orthodox enough...
...hearse outside," the woman explained. The clerk's eyes widened. "I must get him to Boston," pleaded the woman, "his funeral's tomorrow." Too busy was the harried clerk to find out whether the woman had intended upending the cadaver in the other seat, or whether she supposed that airliners, like trains, carried baggage cars ahead...
