...likes to have his ox gored, least of all A. F. of L. Counsel Joseph Padway. Last February in Madison, Wis., Mr. Padway bellowed as though he himself were on the horns. The Legislature of his home State, in step with the rightward trend of U. S. politics, was considering bills to amend Wisconsin's famed, liberal State Labor Code of 1931 and its Little Wagner Act of 1937, which Joe Padway helped to draft. Having yet to emasculate Mr. Padway's State Labor Relations Act, Wisconsin's newly conservative Legislature last week made over the Labor...

Almost before the latecomers in the choice $7.70 seats had a chance to count their change, Budge was leading 5-1. Perry changed rackets, but the unsmiling Budge boomed off the seventh game, and the next set was on. For the first four games of this, Perry held the redhead even with a great and foxy effort, but Budge...
...Navy officers. Less costly ($950 a year) and less swank than such Eastern schools as Miss Porter's (Farmington) or Foxcroft, Stephens nevertheless has luxurious dormitories. a stable of 36 horses, a country club and other necessary equipment for turning out elegant young ladies. But fertile-brained James Madison ("Daddy") Wood, Stephens' president, believes that elegance is not enough. Eighteen years ago he hired an expert to find out what women do besides being elegant, learned that they busied themselves with 7,400 activities. To prepare his students for these-including a variety of professional careers-he installed...
