Editor notes reprint from Reader's Digest of General Douglas MacArthur's poem A Father's Prayer. The sermonlike, exhortative piece asks God to build a strong, humble son who faces weakness, learns from hardship, honors past, pursues future, and retains humor and compassion.
The piece argues North Carolina should grant the governor a veto with a simple majority override in each legislative chamber. It contends such a veto would curb rushed bills, force reconsideration, and protect the state without creating federal‑style domination. The author cites frequent last minute bills and the need for legislative accountability.
Rep. F Edward Hebert faced a furious New Orleans constituent outraged that her son’s discharge papers listed him as Caucasian. Hebert's aide clarified the code C stands for Caucasian and that the son was discharged under that designation. The mother remains unimpressed and continues her protests through letters.
A Washington column defends the Constitution as the nation’s law bound guide. It cites Judge Pine's steel seizure ruling, warns against executive overreach, and critiques welfare state and inherent powers concepts. The piece recalls political banter with Hebert and a Tombstone anecdote about Truman’s epitaph line.
A sermon recounts Jesus healing a woman bent by an evil spirit on the Sabbath. It discusses Sabbath laws, Jesus as Lord of the Sabbath, and the shift from Jewish to Christian Sunday observance. The piece urges reverent rest, worship, and aiding others as central to true Sabbath practice.
The remarks pair a European standard for youth dating with a critique of American marriage and a call for a fair democracy. Marlene Dietrich cites dates and social norms while Gov Earl Warren argues for a just system. The excerpt also notes lobbyists thriving on money and televised sessions.
Walter Winchell surveys a flood of gossip from New York on Arab claims and Eisenhower on Meet the Press May 11. He mentions Gloria Swanson, Marilyn Monroe, Red Channels, and industry chatter about Shuffle Along payrolls, Joe Walcott, Prince Philip, and the Stork Club scene.
Senator Alexander Wiley of Wisconsin signals a bipartisan foreign policy pivot akin to the late Arthur Vandenberg. If Republicans win in November he may chair the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, after praises and criticisms from editors and peers over his stance on arms aid NATO and Asia policy.
