...happens to the American Labor Party is of national interest, for A. L. P. will have something to say about how the New York vote goes in 1940. Old-line Democrats and Republicans do not forget that the American Labor Party in 1937 gave New York City's Mayor LaGuardia his winning majority, narrowly saved Democratic Governor Herbert Lehman from defeat last year by Tom Dewey...
...nostrils of the dauntless Mayor of Warsaw, "Stefan the Stubborn" Starzynski, as all Poles were calling him, stank last week the corpses of men and horses rotting in almost every street of Europe's fifth largest capital. More than 500 separate fires were blazing in Warsaw, covering the city with a choking lid of smoke and flame.

With food and ammunition almost gone, with pestilence and epidemics feared, it was time for even valiant Stefan the Stubborn to change his tune, and the Mayor did so literally.

What smart municipal management can do with a public utility Colorado Springs citizens heard when they gathered in the city auditorium one night this week to celebrate the mortgage burning. Its symbol was on the stage: shy, onetime sheriff, Mayor George G. Birdsall, who in 18 years on the City Council has drawn no salary, has gigged the city for not a single cent of expense money. Its mouthpiece was beside him: stocky, blue-eyed onetime Utility Engineer Earl Louis Mosley, who has been the city's light and gas plant manager since it was taken over from United...
