The Nebraska primary result showed Sen Hugh Butler defeating Governor Dwight Griswold by nearly two to one prompting discussion on the propriety of outsider support. The piece argues outsiders have a right to express views but questions whether such interference is proper in state political races.
The editorial argues the president should push a temporary extension of the Wagner act via a Case bill amendment. It suggests a fixed period with automatic termination to force congressional study of long‑term, permanent labor regulation, addressing fears from opposing factions and limiting current legislation to a temporary framework until a lasting law is devised.
A reminiscence by Robert Quillen traces a boy’s rite of passage from barefoot summers to social polish. He recalls muddy feet, well-water baths, and the moment he joins the ranks of cleanly dressed youths, framing dirt as a marker of class and maturity.
The text recalls a 25 year old clash between figures named Bugs Baer and Lewis amid coal industry memories. It mentions coal dealers promising clean slate, a Consumer's League delegate in the Mud Flats, miners facing work, a Pennsylvania boarding house landlady remarking on hats blistering wallpaper, and a quip about dividing desires by six to please all.
David Lawrence argues the Truman veto message misleads the public about labor policy and the Smith Connally act. He contends the president relies on aides rather than personal study, rendering the White House image as politically motivated and evasive.
A Soviet film praised for showing Japan’s attack on Port Arthur and Russia’s 1905 war effort also depicts a single handed Soviet WW II victory. An American official, granted a private screening in Europe, noted officials appeared sheepish by the end. The film’s portrayal shifts with a central claim of Soviet triumph in war.
George E Sokolsky reviews the controversy around Justice Jackson and Justice Black amid FDR’s court-packing moves. The piece condemns selective history in films and radio as propaganda, noting Soviet wartime broadcasts and the Iron Curtain’s influence on public opinion and anti American sentiment.
Dr Brady discusses the unpredictability of respiratory illnesses and criticizes how authors attribute colds to weather. He cites Boyd on cold or coryza and urges careful, precise medical language while noting common misperceptions about diseases like malaria and syphilis.
Washington insiders say Justice Robert Jackson’s outburst against Justice Hugo Black stemmed from hurt over not being named chief justice and a suspected Washington plot to curb Black’s liberal stance.
