...third set 14-12 before losing the match in the fourth. The final between Budge and von Cramm was interrupted once. That was when Queen Mary arrived at her box just after the first set. Two years ago, Budge amused Wimbledon by greeting the Queen with a wave of his racket. Last week, more formal, he bowed from the waist. Before the interruption, Budge had won the first set, 6-3, taking the last five games in a row. After it, with almost unplayable serves and drives that made chalk fly from the corners of his opponent's court...
...industry when it hired Will Hays 15 years ago. Educators have long been unsatisfied with the radio as an educational medium. Two years ago they gave the industry a scare by plumping in great numbers for the unsuccessful Fess and Wagner-Hatfield bills calling for a Federal allocation of wave bands for educational purposes. This year NBC is devoting a record total of 4,360 hours, 44% of the network's total broadcasting time, to a miscellany of speeches, lectures, concerts, meetings, all labelled "educational programs." Most of these are "sustaining" (non-sponsored) and of widely varying quality. When...

...ordinary low-power, short-wave radio set could conceivably be depended upon to carry 100 miles or more through the air. Possibly inspired by American Telephone & Telegraph Co.'s coaxial cable which can carry a frequency band wide enough for television for thousands of miles (TIME, Oct. 14, 1935), the Los Angeles engineers installed, at each end of the line, low-power transmitters using about 80,000 kilocycles, and these high frequency signals are impressed on the electric power cables. Through this broad channel they ride easily so that messages are clearly heard by any patrol car, provided...
...Muslim Society, pre-eminent among the 200 or so Britons who held to the faith of Allah and his Prophet. A Westminster and Cambridge athlete who had written textbooks on boxing, he was a civil engineer, a road-builder in India, one of the world's authorities on wave and tidal action and the protection of foreshores. Whether on a Christian or Moslem impulse, Lord Headley during the War urged that ten interned Germans be put to death for every British child or woman killed by bombs. He made his pilgrimage to Mecca, earned the title...
