...fish") Long. By last week it appeared that his grip was gradually weakening. His prestige has been badly damaged at home because patronage from President Roosevelt has been going to anti-Long men, a situation which caused Senator Long to blurt out at a Milwaukee veterans' convention: "To hell with the Administration!" And over his head hangs the threat of Federal court action on charges of income tax evasion...
...columns of the most florid writing since the death of James Gibbons Huneker. Excerpts : Edward Alden Jewell (Times) : "Yet if the Crucifixion be esteemed a truly inspired example of the Flemish miniaturist's artistry . . . full of a robust tenderness that climbs in the Christ to agonized sublimity . . .

Dr. Cummins detests Anglo-Catholicism, helped found the Protestant Episcopal Church League to combat it. When his name was suggested as suffragan to New York's high-church Bishop Manning, Dr. Cummins announced he would be "errand boy" to no bishop (TIME, May 19, 1930). "Gadfly" Cummins has long...
