Since the day Germany invaded Poland the word Asse ("Axis") has not appeared in the Italian press. The "plutodemocracies," meaning France and Britain (and sometimes the U.

Last winter he gave the American Newspaper Guild his full support in its strike against the Chicago Hearst newspapers, and last summer he sat with John L. Lewis at a C. I. O. rally for Chicago packing workers (TIME, July 24). Bishop Sheil is 51, a year younger than was Archbishop Mundelein when he was made a Cardinal. Auxiliary bishops sometimes, but not always, succeed their superiors. Last week most Chicago Catholics hoped that this one would...
...work of the Study will again this year center at 13 Holyoke Street, once the Big Tree Swimming Pool, which has been enlarged over the summer by the addition of three now offices. William L. Woods and Thomas H. Wright will continue the psychiatric work done last year by Donald W. Hastings, who has left for an important post at the University of Pennsylvania...
