...their heads shaved when they refused an order to cook on the Sabbath. (Ben-Gurion revoked the jail sentences, but could do nothing about the sidecurls, particularly precious to orthodox Jews.*) Even Rabbi Fishman, who had been protesting the official use of government cars on the Sabbath, had a complaint to make. His own official automobile-with "Minister of Religion" printed prominently on the windshield-had been seen on the Sabbath cruising about the streets of Tel Aviv...
...Murray, AEC Chairman David Lilienthal replied last week that refusal to take the oath was not the sole complaint; there was "a serious question" about loyalty. To Fitzgerald, Lilienthal said that AEC was ready to talk the issue over with U.E. leaders, but would demand "full and candid" statements on their past & present Communist affiliations, if any.

When the House of Representatives set up a special committee to investigate subversive propaganda, in May of 1938, about the only complaint came from Fritz Kuhn, leader of the rambunctious German-American Bund.

This figure suggests that some of these irritating fees could be abolished...
Drop the Peg. Until recently there has been little complaint about pegging of Government bonds. Bondholders liked the guaranteed market. But as commercial interest rates edged upwards (Reynolds Tobacco Co. had to promise 4½% last week on a $26 million issue of preferred stock, compared to 3.6% on an issue in mid-1945), big bondholders, notably insurance companies, began to unload on FRB. They could put their money in better paying private issues or out to loan. Had the unloading reached such a point that FRB should stop supporting the market...
