...Christian pragmatist, I am disgusted by the action of President Goheen and his trustees against Father Halton. It reminds me of the mama's boys who won't play unless they can make the rules.

...report, and the sure thing gurgled down the drain. New York's population is now 7,795,471, down 96,486 in seven years. Mayor Wagner refused to accept the figures. Then the state attorney general eased the pain by ruling that state aid would not be reduced unless the next regular count confirmed the decline.

...refused to argue the case at The Hague-and thus all but ended Interhandel's long struggle to regain the company. As a founder of the World Court, though never a defendant there, the U.S. exercised its treaty right to refuse trial in "matters essentially within domestic jurisdiction." Unless the U.S. Supreme Court (which has already turned down one appeal by Interhandel and now has another to consider on a technical point) reverses its position, the sale of rich (1956 sales: $133 million) General Aniline by the Justice Department is assured in the near future...
