...knew where prices might go under the new law. Much depended on the three-man OPA Decontrol Board. It would be all-powerful in determining what commodities and goods would be under price ceilings. In choosing the Board the President was expected to follow a well-grooved pattern: one member to represent labor, one to be an industry-management spokesman, one to sit for the public. But the Board named by Harry Truman fell into no such groove. The three men nominated for the $12,000 jobs were...
Jubilantly, progressive Republicans prepared to bury Midwestern isolationism. But most political prophets were cautious about building local results into a national, or even a sectional pattern. Last month, North Dakota voters had returned diehard isolationist Bill Langer to the Senate. And in Minnesota isolationist Congressmen had been renominated, in contests where Stassenism was not a factor. The defeat of Henrik Shipstead caused scarcely a ripple in congressional cloakrooms, changed no votes in the battle in the House over the British Loan (see The Congress...

...announced that the New State would be based on two great calls for social reform-the Rerum Novarum of Pope Leo XIII and the Quadragesima Anno of Pius XI (see RELIGION).

Soon little boys, well-shod and sporting Balilla-like uniforms, were marching in the wake...
Last week a presidential fact-finding board, appointed only a few hours before a pilots' strike deadline at Transcontinental & Western Air, Inc. last May, released its recommendations. There was comfort for both sides. The board, which hoped that its recommendations would form a pattern for the airline industry, upheld the pilots' plea to bargain individually with lines. The board also granted 1) an increase in base pay of international route pilots of $750 a year, 2) an increase which could be as much as 30% for copilots, 3) revision of the twelve-year-old overall hour & mileage...
