Especially distressing to many Britons was the seeming complaisance of the Labor Party leaders with the way Government was going. Their position became clearer last week, in shabby, tobacco-smoky Westminster Central Hall, where the British Labor Party held its 40th annual conference. At the end it seemed that the fears which seized many Laborites when the Churchill Coalition Government came into being last year had been fully realized -in the old British fashion the Conservatives had stifled the opposition of the Laborites by absorbing them; the Laborite leaders had become an echo rather than a goad to Winston Churchill...
Unlike baseball's Immortals, golf's deities are all still hale & hearty. Last fortnight all four could be seen competing in the Masters Tournament at Augusta. Attorney Jones, 39 (winner of four U.S. Opens, five U.S. Amateurs, three British Opens, one British Amateur), finished 40th in a field of 47.

Then he served successively at two wealthy, influential parishes: Grace Church, Chicago; St. Thomas', New York. At the latter he reared what many a critic considers the loveliest Gothic church in the U. S., increased...
Biggest rise, according to the Crossley findings, was that of The Aldrich Family, which was in 40th place a year ago. Biggest fall was that of Pot o' Gold, which plummeted from 10th to 57th place. Gratifying to radio's peers and commoners alike were Crossley's observations that programming had improved, that radio had more people by the ear than ever...
