Infinitely far up over in the east, a little star burned and its light pierced the haze and noise like a burnished steel point. The Vagabond stole away softly and followed...
Until this letter had well sunk in, Chancellor Hitler lay low last week, then sent up an amazing trial balloon. Nov. 10 will be the 450th birthday of Martin Luther.

What to do with this national defense investment provided a 13-year controversy ended by last week's bill-signing. Henry Ford bid for it and was turned down. Alabama Power Co. unsuccessfully offered to take it off the Government's hands. American Cyanamid Co.'s bid was also rejected...
