...perusal are voluminous reports by many a committee, on such innocuous matters as goodwill, race relations, broadcasting, finance, education, etc. etc. But large questions loom. Has the Federal Council been too liberal in its talk, as in the guarded Birth Control pronouncement which caused the Southern Presbyterians to withdraw, the Northern Presbyterians, Northern Baptists and United Lutherans to threaten withdrawal (TIME, June 15, 1931 et seq.)? Should the Protestant Mouthpiece be muffled, be supervised more closely by the individual denominations? This week there would doubtless be hot debate in Indianapolis, but out of it would most likely come a conservative...
After their first raptures the critics acted a little shamefaced and attempted to withdraw some of the praises they had strewn in the hot haste of their first love. They discovered that there was nothing original here, only six or seven glittering stars perfectly cast, good lines, and a swift-moving plot, worked up with great care.

...part of their consent, General Electric and Westinghouse must get rid of their RCA shares which together equal 51% of the total.

In Warsaw the antiJewish students grew excited because it was the anniversary of the death, during a riot, of Stanislaw Waclawski a Christian student at the University of Vilna. ''Revenge yourselves on the Jews!" they cried. "They were responsible for Waclawski's death!" They...
...outcome of the battle appeared to hinge largely on the success of the Harriman-Lehman group in rounding up proxies from the many substantial stockholders known to them. Banker Harriman himself had begun to withdraw from the aviation scene. Last month he resigned as Avco board chairman, was succeeded by his friend Banker Lehman (TIME, Oct. 31). About the same time Harold Ellstner Talbott Jr. resigned the North American Aviation chairmanship. His place was filled by George Newell Armsby, chairman of Bancamerica-Blair Corp. which sponsored North American. Guessers everywhere tried to connect the two resignations with the presence...
