Sniffing about Europe in search of fun for himself and filler for his column, Scripps-Howard's sharp-nosed, sharp-tongued Columnist Westbrook Pegler last week discovered the extraordinary French magazine named Crapouillot, devoted a cabled column to telling U. S. readers about one issue of it. Unique is Crapouillot in devoting each issue to a single subject. Because it reminded him of Humphrey Cobb's best-selling novel Paths of Glory (TIME, June 3), Columnist Pegler had been attracted by the August 1934 issue, which told the appalling stories of a few of the luckless French soldiers...
...vigorous anti-war crusader himself, Columnist Pegler had stumbled on the work of one of the bitterest and most effective enemies of war in France. Jean Galtier-Boissière founded Crapouillot (name of a small trench cannon) in 1915, at first distributed it only to his fellow soldiers.

The New York Herald Tribune's Sports Columnist Richards Vidmer decried Mr. Mahoney's objections, drew a two-column letter of protest from Editor Isaac Landman of the American Hebrew. The New York Post polled 35 members of the Olympic Committee, found 28 for participation, four against, three noncommittal. In Oakland, Calif., Fencer Helene Mayer, in whose behalf Mr. Sherrill had gone to Germany, said she had received no invitation to compete for Germany. In Chicago, Chairman Brundage of the American Olympic Committee made the sweeping statement which...
...night to orchestra to vaudeville, with a patter & fiddle act. Dramatic Mirror of Nov. 12, 1921, said of him: "We would like more violin and less chatter." Benny ignored the warning, increased the chatter until he was playing comic roles in Shubert and Carroll shows on Broadway. One night Columnist Louis Sobol let him tell a few gags on his radio hour. Benny was a hit. His voice, grating on the stage, "took" on the air. Sponsored by General Foods, he worked up to his present eminence by an offhand amiability and the knack of weaving advertising matter into...
