...Though it has been fully celebrated in song & story, swing music has been neglected in the graphic arts. But circulating among swing fans in Chicago last week were a number of scrupulous lithographs on the life of swing. They were the work of one George von Physter, an oldtime doghouse slapper (string bass player) who went to Hollywood as a designer, returned to the smalltime bands with an itch to make drawings of them. The results were so deep-scarred with authenticity that swing musicians in Chicago last week had them tacked over their beds. Included: a jam session...
...programs. Conductor Furtwängler resigned his job in protest, cried: "It is a crime to attempt to defame and drive him [Hindemith] from Germany, since none of the younger generation has done more than he for the recognition of German music throughout the world."

Therefore, factories outside Akron have been able to make their products more cheaply than those remaining there. Said Goodrich last week to its workers: "Where 40,000 rubber jobs existed in Akron two years...
...beginning of Lent last week reminded Christians throughout the world of the last days on earth of the Prince of Peace, churchmen were everywhere considering with renewed soberness the tenuous prospect of peace on earth. Though many Protestant clergymen are out & out pacifists, most Catholics have been restrained on that subject. Newsworthy was it, therefore, when an eminent Catholic divine opened Lent with a ringing pastoral letter on the subject of peace. He was the Most Rev. John Timothy McNicholas, the forceful, ruddy Dominican who for 13 years has been Archbishop of Cincinnati. He wrote...
