...sonofagun" among Louisiana jobholders was at that moment being returned from a quick trip he took to Canada after dropping some $500,000 of Louisiana State University's funds in the wheat market. Dr. James Monroe Smith, who resigned as president of the university just before he skipped (TIME, July 10), got out of an airplane at New Orleans and was met by a crowd of reporters. To one who began asking him about the irregularities at the university Dr. Smith snapped: "I'll answer those questions later," then added: "I don't know...
