...Senate had stopped Mississippi's bigoted Theodore ("The Man") Bilbo from taking his seat in the Senate, had finally confirmed David Lilienthal as chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission. Taft shared credit for the first job and blame for the long delay in the Lilienthal case. Under the whip of Arthur Vandenberg, the 80th had backed the "bipartisan" foreign policy.

...fourth inning rallies by Leverett and Dunster spiked all victory hopes for Adams and Lowell Houses in intramural ball game yesterday, as the Bunnies piled up five runs to down the Bellboys, 7 to 3, in baseball, and the Deacons capitalized on seven Adams errors to whip the Gold Coast softball team...
