...this cure is to be administered. Here is how it came to his hands. The Senate, fortnight ago, passed the McNary-Haugen bill, 47 to 39. Party lines were torn to shreds; the vote was almost purely sectional-the West and South against the East. The House, last week, threw aside its own farm relief bill, adopted the McNary-Haugen bill exactly as it came from the Senate. Thus, the delay of a conference was obliterated. The farm bloc, with grey-haired Representative Haugen at the helm, bowled over the regular Republican organization with steamroller tactics that recalled the days...
...Fascismo at its furious apogee, kindred militant Christians in Southeastern Europe are gathering strength once again to repress the Jews. The anti-Semite movement in Hungary is very marked and some ugly details of how Rumania deals with her Jews (TIME, Dec. 13) came to light when Queen Marie threw the spotlight of world interest full upon the Danube. Last week repercussions of this anti-Semite movement prompted an article in Harpers Magazine by the Austrian publicist Josef Bard. Striking shrewdly at the roots of antiSemitism, Herr Bard postulates five attributes possessed by Jews which give them an advantage over...
...Denverites scrambled thither to see the hurtling-into-space, the drop, the crash, the wreckage. A block party on Champa Street (outside the Post offices), with 21 bombs fired, bands playing, revelry-to signalize the opening of a tunnel through the nearby Rocky Mountains (see p. 9). Dance halls threw themselves open. Radio reported a Manhattan prizefight (Delaney-Maloney, see p. 27) and "as a special feature" a death dive -a man hanging by his teeth to a pulley, sliding down a wire from the Post's roof to the street...
...chose up sides. Each lady was then allotted one club, shape and style determined by drawing slips of paper from a hat. The teams crowded around the first tee as their rival captains prepared to drive. Suddenly a premeditated bedlam broke loose. Ladies hooted, screamed, blew tin whistles, danced, threw clubs in air, did their utmost to superinduce inaccuracy among the opposition. Nothing save outright mayhem was barred. The match (two-ball) continued, team members shooting in rotation, regardless of allotted implements. The bedlam continued with increasing fury; no lady was spared. The ninth green found the contestants so exhausted...
...treatment of sick souls. A good priest, through the confessional, can develop a treatment for the individual and we have nothing to compare with it. For six years I have conducted-Baptist though I am-what I call a confessional. I am not afraid to recover things the Protestants threw away- beauty of service and the confessional. I have an office where people who know they are spiritually sick and mentally disturbed can come with their problems. Why shouldn't I minister to them? Never again will I be without such a place where people can meet me alone...
