...speakers defended the service and its law-enforcing methods. But what now struck them as funny was an explanation of why Coast Guardsmen drink the liquor they seize in the service of their country. The explainer was Representative Car roll L. Beedy of Maine, a consistent dry upon whose bald head Rear Admiral Frederick Chamberlayne Billard, the Coast Guard's commandant, had been looking down approvingly from the gallery as the Congressman praised the Admiral's service. Describing how the liquor-laden Flor del Mar had been towed into New London in a sinking condition, there...
...Episcopalian ministry. The suit is still pending. Last year he went abroad to stump for Britain's Labor Party. Lately he has been preaching at St. Columba's Church, Hull, England.

This judgment, if you are not lulled to sleep by a series of marches and countermarches in boudoir land, is open to dispute. For despite its tail coats, pajamas and cocktails, the play is a pungent pastry out of the same...
...captain and a farmer's daughter. He has studied in Paris, practiced in the U. S. for 30 years (newspaper cartoons, stained glass windows, smartchart layouts for Vogue, oils of every description). Large and athletic, with a greying red beard, a monkish bald spot, he likes modern French painting less than modern Mexican painting. When Mexican Diego Rivera's paintings (TIME, May 6) were first hung, seven people were shot. Says Robinson: "I'd be glad if someone stepped on a policeman's toe when I show mine...
