...road to a reasonable body of workable labor laws. In one it ruled that Republic Steel Corp. need not reimburse WTPA for the wages it paid to discharged and locked out Republic employes during the Little Steel strike of 1937. The ruling spanked the Labor Board for trying to make a penal statute out of the Wagner Act, which is essentially remedial...
...Viceroy last winter. Said they, quoting Will Durant: "British ownership of India has been a calamity and a crime." This manifesto obviously broke the four missionaries' pledges. But the British authorities wisely lay low, let the Methodist bishops in India (who rule 256 churches, 106,237 communicants) make the running by asking their Board of Foreign Missions in Manhattan to recall Jay Holmes Smith of Lucknow, Paul K. Keene of Mussoorie, Mr. & Mrs. Ralph T. Templin of Muttra. Missionaries Smith and Keene obediently went home. The Templins refused at first, finally returned to the U. S. last month...
...Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, directed by swart, 44-year-old Leonide Massine, onetime maitre de ballet for Colonel de Basil, had opened in Manhattan, had now begun a 22-week tour of the U. S.

Massine's ballet, St. Francis, whose music by Paul Hindemith is among the best in the modern theatre, has slipped from the repertory; Sol Hurok does not like it. Among the new ballets now presented by the two companies, the best...
While total war flames around Eire, Irish archeologists have peacefully dug into their country's prehistory. In 1934 some 30 excavation projects were set going by the Irish Government, to make work for laborers as well as to illuminate Eire's antiquity. Last week, with the 1940 season wound up at Lough Gur in County Limerick, word came from there that a continuous chain of human habitations had been traced back-through the Norman and Viking invasions, through the Bronze Age to the Stone Age-to the oldest known village site in Eire. It was dated...
