Pocatello officials are urged to scrub and maintain streets to present a clean, attractive city to convention visitors. Merchants complain daily dust and dirt encroachment, and the upcoming large state farm bureau gathering heightens the call for visible cleaning efforts before the event.
The piece argues nearly a year after the UN partition vote for clear American leadership to end the Palestine war. It notes Egyptian incursions, Beersheba gains by Israel, British moves toward Arab states, and US indecision from backing sanctions to recognizing Israel. It urges a settlement honoring the UN decision and moral stakes.
A near-complete list of civilian leaders imagined to run the U.S. home front in a future war centers on Arthur Middleton Hill of Charleston as NSRB chairman, with Reginald E. Gillmor of New York as vice chairman and Ralph J. Watkins of Dallas as director of plans. The roster includes George E. Felton of Boston as head of Production, Albert Nickerson of Socony Vacuum in Human Resources, James C. O'Brien as manpower chief, Dr. James A. Crabtree as medical director, and Dr. Edward T. Grether to head economic management.
Paul Gallico notes London joy over the birth of a royal son while highlighting postwar hardship. He laments gasoline restrictions and a Labour government’s social controls including a proposed ban on bottle clubs that cater to the wealthy, leaving the poor with fewer pleasures. The piece critiques curbs on public life and indulgence amid rationing and austerity.
The piece argues a turning point in world history after the Ruhr fell to Germany and urges a cooperative management plan with neutral states to prevent war. It links U.S. bankers to German rearmament and cautions France over Ruhr control, then extols consumer-led governance in Europe.
A poem-style critique of Army Air Force Navy turf battles over defense spending. It argues unity is needed to avoid duplication and waste, urging a decisive leader to align services. The piece suggests potential political change in November to curb interservice squabbling and protect national defense.
In Tokyo, the critic endures a four hour Kabuki performance of Koshi Tsune Sembon Zakura starring Onoye Kikugoro. He mocks the moaning hero, chaotic stage devices, and confusing plot, noting the audience’s cheer and his own plan to seek a burlesque show for clarity after the ordeal.
A gaggle of short items notes daily radio reach of over 50 million across 900 stations in the United States.
