...Congress pass the Wagner Bill, barked Francis J. Dillon, American Federation of Labor organizer in Detroit, to the House Labor Committee last week, or the nation's automobile workers will walk out. The Committee was not impressed. As the results of employes' elections held by the Automobile Labor Board showed, the A. F. of L.. can command only a minor fraction of automobile workers (TIME, Feb. 25). Realistic Laborites know that at most they can call out some makers of parts, perhaps thus cripple production lines...
...brandished over the head of a Methodist conference in Seaford, Del. Asked for an opinion on smoking, Bishop Hughes warmly gave it: "If I felt that I could not live up to my obligations as minister, I would hand in my credentials and stop preaching. I would not walk up & down the streets a self-confessed liar by puffing a cigar. . . . Many ministers complain they are not getting results in their works.

...Father is unable to work because of heart trouble. Mother, 60, so weak from malnutrition that sometimes she can hardly walk, plods ten miles to Wrens to beg a little food. Son, 21, also suffering from undernourishment, has had twelve days relief work since Christmas at $1.20 a day. This family shares its two rag-covered, rickety beds with a young woman who had nowhere else to turn. When the reporters called, not a scrap of food was in the house. All they ever have is cornbread; the meal barrel was empty...
