...case of U. S. v. Mary-Helen Coal Co., et al., fully deserved the intervention of able Mr. McMahon and distinguished Mr. Johnston. For at issue was the repute of Harlan County's coal barons and deputized thugs, whose propensities for murder, assault, and general repression of miners' tendency to join John L. Lewis' U.M.W. was disclosed last year by the La Follette Civil Liberties Committee (TIME, May 3, 1937). At issue also was the question whether a Federal statute enacted just after the Civil War to protect Negroes from Ku Kluxers could be invoked to reenforce...
...worked out a technique for growing flowers and vegetables in shallow tanks of water, containing in solution the minerals that plants must have. Dr. Gericke calls this kind of crop-growing "hydroponics" (Greek, hydro, water; ponos, labor). His tanks have yielded some remarkable results (TIME, March 1, 1937, et seq.), but there has been much argument over whether hydroponics has any commercial value. Nevertheless, several commercial growers are using the Gericke system, foreign governments have asked questions, and the National Resources Committee has spot lighted hydroponics as one of the applied sciences which may be of future importance...
Scandalous to U. S. moralists has been the increase, during the past three years, of petty gambling-bingo games and the like-under church auspices (TIME. Dec. 27, et ante). Whether or not they consider gaming sinful in itself, high-minded churchmen hold that the church bemeans herself by acting as croupier. Yet out of more than 200 U. S.

New York's austere Episcopal Bishop William...
...Bituminous Coal Commission established a set of minima, but after coalmen brought suit, charging the Commission's methods were too dictatorial, these minima were shelved, B. C. C. Chairman Charles Franklin Hosford Jr. resigned and there was a general collapse of the coal price structure (TIME, Dec. 27, et seq.). Since then the Commission has wearily begun all over again, this time under the guidance of Percy Tetlow. Last week, with data for new minima almost complete and with Sunshine Anthracite Coal Co. of Arkansas filing the only suit now pending challenging the B. C. C.'s constitutionality...
Three graduate students also received $300 apiece from the Bowdoin fund. They are Philippe Dur 2G., A.B. '35, of New York City, who wrote on "The Use of History"; Raymond A.
