That was steamy stuff, not to be compared with the mere wiggling of Reds. Governor Murphy is up for re-election in a key State where the Republicans have a chance to win. He also is a maybe-maybe-not prospect for the U. S. Supreme Court. At all events he is a devoted friend and follower of Franklin Roosevelt. But now one of his pet oxen was being gored. Although politicians have long assured businessmen and others that it is perfectly proper for Congressional investigations to permit biased witnesses to air scandalous charges against honest citizens, in this case...
...they should win at Princeton; even Mikkola is pretty confident--"if they'll all just click," he says. Yale and Princeton are good, for the Elis have been winning consistently, and the Tigers, while losing to the strong Army and Navy teams, are a potentially powerful group. But Harvard is different. On paper, from last year's records, the Crimson should be weak. Their undefeated record shows how Jaako has built that team...

Result in funds raised...

Last week the Future Farmers of America, of which Hunter is one of 173,000 members, convened in Kansas City, Mo. under the auspices of the Kansas City Star to confer their coveted honor of Star Farmer, which carries a $500 prize. "I sure would like to win that," said Hunter, who did not think he would because last year's Star Farmer, Robert Lee Bristow, now assistant manager of a farmer's cooperative, hailed from a nearby Virginia county. Ignoring that circumstance, the judges decided on Hunter Roy in record time. After figuring that...
