...first metallic booming fills the morning air, a taxi slithers rudely along the curb, and an elderly gentleman disembarks. His frock coat is spotless and lately pressed, although it no longer accomodates his increasing girth with the proper tailored case. If the warm spring breeze should rustle his coat tails the gardenia vendor on the opposite curb would notice that the back of the gentleman's trousers has a guilty sheen, but mercifully, there is no such mischievous breeze. The cab fare amounts to 75 cents, and the gentleman hands the driver a dollar. He is embarassed to hold...
There is no doubt that President Roosevelt's action will meet with a warm, popular response in this country. At the same time it must be noted that it represents a sharp change from recent general policy. For the past fourteen years there have been serious restrictions upon immigration; so much so that not more than about 140,000 persons have been allowed to enter the country annually as against the earlier average of 1,000,000. During some of the depression years after 1930 the United States actually lost more aliens, through their returning home, than it gained through...

...noteworthy exhibitions of paintings in Manhattan last week. Both were highly admired by artists and students familiar with modern art. Each provided exhilarating exercise for eyes trained on visual commonplaces. Because nine out of ten people want about as much exercise from painting as they want from a warm bath, neither artist was likely to become popular with the man-in-the-street. But it was extremely improbable that either would come in soon for such horseplay as Buffalo enjoyed last week with surrealism...
...Class 1 railroads had an operating deficit in February for the first time in 17 years- $2,136,481, against a net operating income of'$38,792,779 in February 1937 and $58,367,529 in February 1930. Two days later Franklin Roosevelt told a press conference at Warm Springs, Ga. that the special railroad report of ICCommissioners Splawn, Eastman & Mahaffie, given to him fortnight ago, would not be made public until after he had conferred in Washington this week with a group of operating railroaders. Then, said the President, definite recommendations would be sent to Congress...
