Last week, speaking at a Manhattan banquet of the American Committee for the Settlement of Jews in Biro-Bidjan, ruddy, banjo-eyed Soviet Ambassador to the U. S. Alexander A. Troyanovsky skipped lightly across History and Political Philosophy. He quoted Abraham Lincoln as to how often one can fool all & some of the people.* He unearthed the fact that Russia's Empress Catherine II was disgusted by the American Revolution and refused to recognize the U. S. He said that the U. S. Declaration of Independence was the "first official recognition of the equality of all human beings, including...
...ratifying a "family settlement," a Baltimore court finally ended the lengthy squabble over the $28,000,000 Camel cigaret estate of Zachary Smith Reynolds, who was shot to death during a party at his Winston-Salem, N. C. home in 1932 (TIME, July 18, 1932 et seq.). To his wife of seven months, famed Torchsinger Libby Holman, whose indictment for his murder was not-prossed, the court gave $750,000.

For these reasons the new step is a stop-gap-measure, which, if allowed to become permanent, will result in the impaired utility of the newly-supported sports, since...
...negligible quantity in the opposition. The defenders tried to convert only those objectors who control votes. It might be pointed out, without containing the implication of a threat, that the college students of today are those who will be voting next. It is to be hoped that in the settlement of an issue which has assumed such proportions the serious comment of the non-voting but straight thinking students will be treated with the consideration it merits...
Queried about the possibility of a future peace settlement for Europe originating from Hitler's proposals, he replied that such a development was entirely conceivable. "I don't think that Hitler is a militarist" he asserted. "He is rearming, like everyone else, to protect himself, but the more fact that he is doing it in defiance of an unfair treaty does not make his policy a belligerent one. France and England are strengthening their armies and navies, too, but they are doing it quietly and are not violating the Versailles treaty; therefore they are not 'militarists' in the eyes...
