While I have previously experienced no trouble in getting twin heifer calves bred, I now have a pair of twin purebred Jersey calves six weeks old, one male, the other female. Numerous experienced breeders advise me the female will not breed. On the other hand, about the same number of breeders say they have never experienced any difficulty in breeding the heifer when one of the twins is a male. The veterinary who attended the mother for a mild attack of milk fever says the contention, that heifer calves who have a male twin will prove to be sterile...
...executive council be empowered to expel suspended C. I. O. unions at its own discretion. The rebel unions marked for first expulsion were John L. Lewis' United Mine Workers of America and Sidney Hillman's Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America-C. I. O.'s twin financial pillars. Least likely to be ousted was David Dubinsky's International Ladies Garment Workers, for Mr. Dubinsky has long wanted peace. Moreover, Mr. Dubinsky, who has always played second fiddle to Mr. Hillman in the needle trades, though his union is bigger, is now in a jurisdictional war with...
...among the more conscientious watchers of U. S. letters, the question still smouldered: What's to happen to Hemingway?

Miraculously the fog blew away in a few minutes, and he saw the twin towers of lighthouses that stand on Thatcher Island, and the lovely shoreline shining in the afternoon sun. He thought of the buoys, charts, and lights, the aids to navigation, that make it possible for modern man to travel on the sea in safety; he thought especially of the first faint, fitful...
Last week Seventh District voters chose Billy Connery's successor: a bald, magnetic, music-loving Irishman. Add seven years to and subtract about 15 pounds from Lawrence J. ("Larry") Connery and the result is a twin for his late brother Billy, whom he had served as secretary since 1922. Nineteen years ago Sergeant Billy refused a promotion because it entailed separation from Sergeant Larry. Both became lawyers after they reached Washington. Last year Billy swamped his Republican opponent by a 3-2 margin; last week Larry won by 3-2. His first official announcement: he would re-introduce...
