Eleven men and a girl are slated to aid the Deacons in making merry after the Chicago tilt this Saturday. Nye Mayhew will play from 9 until the State curfew rings at midnight, and there is a possibility that the decorations will be maroon. A feature of the dance will be the Kirkland House buffet, which gained considerable renown last year. The dance, which will be informal, is being managed by Thomas S. Galdwin '39, chairman of the Kirkland House Entertainment Committee, and William C. Hurtt '40 will act as head usher...
...assisted by Dr. Townsend's dark-haired young son Robert as secretary-treasurer, has found only 155 Congressional candidates worthy of T. N. R. P. endorsement.† About two-thirds of them are Republicans, including the three incumbents already re-elected in Maine and Senator Gerald P. ("Neutrality") Nye of North Dakota...
Through their waving wheat fields, North Dakota Republicans went to the polls last week to decide whether they would renominate (and thus virtually reelect) lean, jut-jawed Senator Gerald Prentice Nye, or send to Washington hulking, jut-jawed Governor William Langer instead.

...Messrs. Morgan. Morgan & Lilienthal are being delved into by a joint committee headed by Ohio's industrious, gum-chewing Senator Vic Donahey, with $50,000 to spend (TIME, June 6). Because Vic Donahey knows he is not a born inquisitor like such famed Senators as Black, Wheeler, Nye, La Follette and the late Tom Walsh, his committee last week retained a paid inquisitor just as the Senate's Wall Street investigation in 1933-34 hired Lawyer Ferdinand Pecora. The TVA committee's choice: Francis Biddle, 52, a Philadelphia lawyer who followed Franklin Roosevelt through Groton and Harvard...
Meanwhile, the cities involved, quick to recognize that they would not need to levy taxes if they could charge royalties on their underwater oil, suggested gently that they, not the State, held the title. In Washington, the House Judiciary Committee, holding hearings on a Nye resolution to make the undersea oil lands a Naval reserve, has spent most of its time wondering if anyone at all holds the title. The question has become important only recently with the development of offshore drilling, and the committee had few judicial decisions to guide it. The Senate applied the Nye resolution...
