...Presidential boomlets, that of patient Secretary of Agriculture Henry Agard Wallace has probably laid the biggest egg. Weary Mr. Wallace, toiling like Tantalus in Hades, has pushed the farm problem up the hill countless times, only to have it roll back and crush him anew each & every time. Trapped in a six-year mesh of cumbrous grabbag legislation, alternately burned by droughts* and swamped by bounteous Nature's overproduction, still he comes up with a dogged smile, pushes his greying cowlick out of his eyes, and tackles the irresistible forces with new enthusiasm. But still U. S. farmers rate...
...years ago Labormaster John L. Lewis, after long study of the meat industry, slapped his paunch impatiently and sent his No. 1 soapbox fireball, Van A. Bittner, to organize Chicago's 24,000 packinghouse workers for the Congress of Industrial Organizations. Last weekend, two years of patient preparation matured in a mass meeting in the Chicago Coliseum. John Lewis was ready to move against Armour, second packer in the Big Four. In 17 Armour plants from St. Paul to Los Angeles to Birmingham, Ala. to Milwaukee, the Packinghouse Workers Organizing Committee had either been named sole bargaining agent...
...hormone which is manufactured by male sex glands, was discovered in The Netherlands in 1935, and made synthetically in Switzerland the same year from the fat of sheep's wool. In the hands of competent doctors, testosterone has definitely helped cases of pathological sex inadequacy, by bringing the patient's sexual functioning up to par. But there is no evidence that it retards the natural sex decline and general debility of old age. Last week the experiments of Dr. V. G. Korenchevsky of Britain's Lister Institute proved that testosterone prolongs potency in neither man nor beast...
That class, says Professor Pitkin, is patient, mute, productive, yet is put upon by the predatory rich, the predatory poor, the lunatic fringe, the criminal fringe, the racketeers (including crooked politicians). He wants the Middle Classers to fight back. He wants to start a newspaper, a magazine, a radio forum. Joiners will pay 2? per day dues. The Middlers' revolutionary committee (headed for the time being by Professor Pitkin) was urged by the professor to "use the nonpolitical organizations you already have, such as Rotary, Kiwanis, teachers' federations, labor organizations and all the rest; have a clearing house...
...Israel hospitalized his patient last week, called in two colleagues and an X-ray technician. The X-ray photographs showed that she was carrying in her belly what doctors call a lithopedian ("stone baby")-a retained fetus which has calcified. It was in the normal knee-chest position, head down and perfectly formed. Obviously the baby had died just at full term. Other lithopedians have been recorded, but they were invariably formless round masses. Dr. Israel decided that he had the only full-term lithopedian known to medicine...
