Since March 1937 this newspaper has taken a pretty resigned attitude towards the Harvard-Yale swimming meet. In the past, it has suggested, among other things, that someone with appropriate authority apply the Sherman Act to the Yalies, and of late is has been content with a little reminder, such as "It Happens Every Year...
...Louisville. Kentucky's top Democrats met to pick their candidate against able Republican Senator John Sherman Cooper, decided to call upon an old and willing war horse: former Vice President Alben W. Barkley. Said Barkley: "I am not ready to give an answer . . . Whether I can be of service to the state and nation will be my sole consideration."

His advisory staff is dominated by the Dewey-Brownell wing of the party which, while touted as the "liberal" wing, has in recent months not lived up to this expectation. Such men as Presidential Assistant Sherman Adams and Brownell have seemingly convinced the President that McCarthy is too valuable an asset to the Republican party, particularly in light of the coming November Congressional elections, for Eisenhower to risk a split with him. Eisenhower has said that he does not want the elections to be fought on the issue...
