...most momentous test case in the history of the English law covering abortion packed London's grimy Old Bailey courtroom last week with skilled physicians from Harley and Wimpole Streets, earnest young medical students, smart socialites. Defendant in the case, charged with performing an abortion on a 14-year-old girl who was seven weeks with child, was a lean, greying, studious man, Dr. Aleck William Bourne, 52, top-flight gynecologist and obstetrician...
This decree, coordinating and bringing up to date ordinances dating in Austria back to 1897, in Germany back to 1868, did not make bullish reading for German investors. They remember how in 1914 much German smart money took its prof its and got out of the market just before the War. Nazi newsorgans attributed last week's break to: 1) turning of securities into cash by German firms desirous of raising further working capital amid the Rearmament scramble; 2) forced sales by Jews squeezed in Vienna and elsewhere in Germany by fresh "Aryanization" measures, one of which excludes Jewish...
...19th manager of the 62-year-old Cubs, 37-year-old Gabby Hartnett, in his 17 years, has played under six of them, has become a smart handler of pitchers, a shrewd observer of men.

Ever since the Supreme Court upheld the registration provisions of the Public Utility Holding Company Act, the utility industry has resembled a poker game with vast stakes and SEC Chairman William O. Douglas dealing. Last week, Bill Douglas dealt a new hand to an intriguing set of opponents-lean, smart, Floyd Odium of Atlas Corp., fat, cunning Howard Hopson of Associated Gas & Electric Co. and bald, battle-worn Harley Clarke, late president of Utilities Power & Light Corp. As this hard-bitten trio of utility financiers studied their cards, kibitzers gathered thick around. For the play was the first test...
...holding companies have registered, SEC has the power to force simplification of any utility pyramid into a single geographically integrated system. Most commentators have expected that whatever company Bill Douglas chose to chop up first would ap peal the "death sentence" to the Supreme Court. Here, Bill Douglas was smart - he picked $303,813,000 Utilities Power & Light, which is already in 776 receivership. SEC must pass on such reorganizations anyway. Last week, Chairman Douglas jubilantly called newshawks to his office, announced that it would be unfair to U. P. & L. stockholders to "pull them out of reorganization...
