August Gobel, stoker, and Adolph Weigand. policeman, sat in the boiler room of the Christian Feigenspan ice plant at Newark, N. J. late one night last week. August Gobel knew policemen and liked them. He had spent several weeks in jail, not because he had done anything wrong but because it was safer for him. He was a man of 47 with a wife and children. He and Policeman Weigand sat on a bench in front of the coal pile. From time to time Gobel banged open his fire door and a bloody glow would spread over the coal...
...better team than last year's, would have almost as poor a record. Kadlic of Princeton began to throw the kind of desperate passes that quarterbacks always try at the end of close games; McPartland caught one on Yale's loyd. line but he started to run the wrong way and a moment later Yale had taken the ball on downs again, on its own 3-yd. line.

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has spent $200,000 trying to do so without success; whatever Warner Brothers spent on this picture can safely be listed on the wrong side of the ledger also. This is the fault, not of Douglas Fairbanks Jr. who acts in the picture and helped Niven Busch Jr. write an intelligent adaptation from Mary McCall's novel, but of a weakness in the story itself. Trying to show how a young officer...
...Mason-Dixon line the Negro is deprived of almost every constitutional and natural right to which man may lay claim. Lynchings and packed juries are so common where the Negro is concerned that these evils have never been subject of much comment. Whether the Southern white is right or wrong it is impossible thus cursorily to determine, but one of the great unfaced and dangerous issues of the nation is the legal status of the Negro...
