Fifty-six Military Science 3 men visited Camp Devens Saturday, after arriving in a ten-car convoy executing a military problem. First touring the Recruit Reception Center, quartermaster warehouses, firing range, and a mechanized cavalry unit, they later moved into tents for a night camp...
...hands, which have held down India's industrial development and hence her war effort. A recent Indian cartoon showed the Viceroy hunting, with the legend: "This week the Viceroy shot down 247 enemy partridges." His persistence in official dignities has come in for criticism.

President, was out to impress his name yet deeper in The People's memory. Until Congress adjourned, polls of public opinion had shown New Deal popularity on the wane-not Franklin...
