...HAVE NEVER RECEIVED QUESTIONNAIRE YOU MENTION. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT CATHOLIC WAR VETERANS AND I QUESTION SERIOUSLY WHETHER ECCLESIASTICAL AUTHORITY WOULD EVER SUPPORT CATHOLIC WAR VETERAN . . . IN DEVELOPMENT OF POLITICAL YARDSTICK AS TEST OF TRUE CATHOLICISM...
First Shot. The C.I.O. and A.F.L., working separately but on parallel tracks, opened their legal campaign. There was ample precedent for such tactics. All important laws get their court tests, and labor laws get the most stringent tests of all. In 1936, management blasted away at the Wagner Act with 83 test suits in the first ten months...

The A.F.L.'s General Counsel Joe Padway and some 100 A.F.L lawyers went over the law's text word by word...
Mach .81. Modern test pilots and designers do not measure a fast plane's speed in miles per hour, but in "Mach numbers." Mach 1 is the speed of sound in the air through which the plane is passing. In the warm air near the ground it is about 765 m.p.h., but it falls (to about 650 m.p.h. at 40,000 ft.) in the cold air of high altitudes. Well below these speeds, the "sonic barrier" makes itself felt, jamming an airplane's controls, destroying the lift of its wings. The P-80R got up to Mach...

The experts at San Francisco heard a report on the first large-scale test of streptomycin. More than 800 cases were treated by the Veterans Administration, the Army and the Navy...
