...Supreme Court Justice Aron Steuer to set aside the order. Grounds: the State Labor Relations act is unconstitutional; in any event it does not cover insurance agents; "The only Constitutional sanction for [union recognition by State decree] is to be found in the Constitution of the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics of Russia." Last week Justice Steuer turned down Mr. Seabury, upheld I.I.A.U.'s half-blind, brusquely able Attorney Louis B. Boudin, ordered Metropolitan to bargain. Sole comfort for Metropolitan was in Justice Steuer's stipulation that agents who prefer to bargain individually may still...
...Moscow since the Revolution -yet last-week the famed Communist Union of Militant Atheists took it lying down. The Secret Police kept hands off, evidently on instructions. In his youth, Joseph Stalin studied for the Orthodox priesthood, but that in 1938 priestly offices would be performed in the Soviet capital for a Queen of Orthodox Rumania-and such a Queen as orchidaceous Marie-is something few Reds ever expected...

French Premier Edouard Daladier, although his personal...
Although Angelica Balabanoff tells many a damaging story about famed revolutionists, harshly criticizes the Soviet Union, her book gives no comfort to conservatives. At Lenin's insistence she became first secretary of the Third International. But intrigues, double-dealing - principally by Zinoviev - and unscrupulous measures taken to discredit opponents soon disillusioned her. No hero-worshiper, she considers Lenin chiefly responsible for the weaknesses of the modern revolutionary movement, says she often remonstrated with him about ruthless Bolshevik tactics. Closing one eye, he would stare at her "with an expression which was more sad than sardonic" and ask, "Comrade Angelica...
