Lucas v. Igoe. Illinois' downstate Senator William Dieterich got himself elected on the same ticket as Chicago's Henry Horner in 1932, has since distinguished himself in Illinois by attempting unsuccessfully to swing the downstate vote away from his former running mate when Governor Horner ran for re-election in 1936. In Washington he has voted consistently for the New Deal, but last winter any hope Franklin Roosevelt might have entertained to reward Mr. Dieterich's loyalty was thwarted. Governor Horner and Chicago's Mayor Edward Joseph Kelly paid separate visits to the White House, each...

Cardinal Innitzer and the Austrian bishops had admonished Austrian Catholics to vote Ja in the plebiscite, had subscribed that admonition with a fervent "Heil Hitler" (TIME, April 11). The Pope summoned Cardinal Innitzer to the Vatican for an explanation...
...average senior at Manhattan's Columbia college is a strapping fellow old enough to vote. Last month he was asked to vote on a great number of pertinent and nonsensical questions. By last week it was clear that the average Columbia senior expects to be making $5,000 a year five years after graduation. But if by some chance he should be cast away on some desert island, the companion he would choose would be golden blonde Cinemactress Madeleine Carroll. The scholarly reason: her ability to speak French...
