Franklin Roosevelt at a press conference, Marriner Eccles in a speech at Boston, last week gave a bit more shape to the big new Spend-Lend program that began looming through the national economic fog three weeks ago (TIME, May 29). Essential nature of this contemplated program is known to be Federal-billions-into-capital-goods.

...Lend-Spenders' minds for their new pump-priming act. Secretary Morgenthau was reported to have traded his support to the plan in return for the President's acquiescence in income tax revision (see p. 16).

On these Morgan tracked down the positions of hundreds of invisible genes (heredity transmitters) each of which seemed to control a single body characteristic-such as eye color, chest bristles, wing shape-in the offspring. When a segment of a chromosome broke off during reproduction, all the features controlled by the genes on that segment were affected...

In his arrangements for part-singing, Walker, like other rural teachers of the time, used queer "shape-notes" (square, triangular, diamond, round) which were supposed to make music easier to read. Southern Harmony contained a treatise on the rudiments of music, and such observations on singing as: "All affectation should be banished, for it is disgusting in the performance of sacred music, and contrary to that solemnity...
