The MARCH OF TIME Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine OMINEE NO. 93— WASHINGTON — Starting with list of 60 men, the department of justice last month began careful rebing of the private and public lives of candidates to succeed reed Associate Supreme Court Justice Willis Van Devanter, finally reduced the list to 20 and sent to the president. Then, one by one, Franklin Roosevelt blue-penniled more names until last week when his mind made up, he wrote in longhand his long-awaited message to the senate: "I nominate Hugo L. Black of Alabama to be an associate justice of the supreme court." The nomination fell as a bombhell to the press, if not to the cominee himself, whose previous experience on the bench consisted of a year-and-a-half as a "boy judge" in Birmingham's police court in 1910—three years after he had left poverty-bitten Clay county with $1.20 following the burning of the law office he had managed to set up when he graduated from the University of Alabama law school. One of six candidates for the U.S. senate vacancy created when Alabama's Oscar Underwood declined to stand for re-election in 1926, Hugo Black campaigned the hardest and bitterest, drove his battered Model T into every cranny of Alabama, often after an overnight stay at a farmhouse left family and neighbors convinced he was one of them. Most important, he gained the support of Alabama's Ku Klux Klan, which meant election in 1926, but caused Washington wags to say last week: "Hugo won't have to buy a robe; he can dye his white one black." ert Wagner rose and said: "Mr. President, I move that the senate proceed to the consideration (of) the bill... to assure persons within the jurisdiction of every state equal protection of the laws and to punish the crime of lynching." The fat was in the fire. For some 30 years to bring an anti-lynching bill to the senate floor has been the signal for a filibuster by southern senators. Senator Barkley jumped to his feet to protest that Senator King was to have been next recognized. But Senator King had not been quick enough and the rest of the day was given to the anti-lynching bill. That afternoon Alben Barkley moved to adjourn (instead of recessing) overnight and thus clear the calendar for a fresh start on another bill next day. But to his dismay, the harmonious Democrats split and the motion was voted down 35 to 27. Said disgusted Leader Barkley: "That was a hell of a harmony dinner we had last night." CANCELED CHECK— WASHINGTON — Since 1867 Alaska has produced roughly $1,000,000,000 in gold, silver and copper, has in a single year produced salmon shipments worth as much as $42,000,000; but Alaska cost just $7,200,000 when the U.S. government bought it from Russia. Payment for this colossal real-estate coup was made by a check on the treasury signed by U.S. Treasurer Francis Elias Spinner, drawn to the order of Russian Minister Edward de Stoeckl and dated Aug. 1, 1868. When Alaskan Delegate to Congress Anthony Dimond last week many—a drop of 86,000 during July. These few facts are the one outstanding economic achievement of the Hitler government. Though most Germans are quick to admit that 90% of it is due to rearmament and the sudden expansion of the German army, that achievement is the secret of Hitler's popularity at home. Though Nazi authorities have seen to it that important munitions plants be well supplied with help, an actual labor shortage exists in several agricultural districts and smaller industrial centers. This fact was last week grim news for many a slovenly business clerk, for Adolf Hitler's personal newspaper "Volkischer Beobachter," gave intimations of a new Nazi plan: to have government agents comb the personnel of banks, business houses, department stores, newspapers, and to ship all white-collar workers "not fitted for commercial employment" out to work as common laborers in factories and fields. REVENGE— BREMBISEN, France — When her pig bit her on the leg, vengeful Mme. Heno of Brembisen set fire to the straw on which the pig was lying. The pig and the entire village of five houses burned up. MEN vs. WOMEN— NEW YORK—Issued by the American Automobile association last week were the results of a survey of 10,000 persons between 20 and 40 years old in 35 U.S. cities proving clearly that men are better drivers than women. Their average wheel grip measured 114 lb. against 63 lb. for women. They could withstand 58 units of light, whereas women could withstand only 55.1 and could recover in 5.55 sec. from glare which blinded women for 7.47 sec. Other tests indicated that men generally have 1926, Hugo Black campaigned the hardest and bitterest, drove his battered Model T into every cranny of Alabama, often after an overnight stay at a farmhouse left family and neighbors convinced he was one of them. Most important, he gained the support of Alabama's Ku Klux Klan, which meant election in 1926, but caused Washington wags to say last week: "Hugo won't have to buy a robe; he can dye his white one black." Some senators contended that Hugo Black was constitutionally ineligible for the supreme court because he helped increase the emoluments of justice by voting for the retirement bill under which Willis Van Devanter stepped down. Moreover, Senator Borah insisted that no vancancy existed because Mr. Justice Van Devanter is still subject to call for service. But to Hugo Black, as to most of the senate, these arguments were mere conservative rumblings and disregard of senatorial courtesy. The 93rd man ever nominated for the post, 51-year-old Hugo Black soon received senate approval (63-16) as the 80th supreme court justice in U.S. history. LIES— WASHINGTON — Circulating briskly in Washington last week was a lively White House anecdote which, whether or not true, concerned fiery General Hugh S. Johnson, whose columns in Scripps-Howard newspapers have lately been devoted almost exclusively to flaying the administration. Called into Franklin Roosevelt's office, General Johnson found half a dozen of his recent columns spread on the president's desk. Said the president, underlining sentences in the columns: "Hugo, that's a lie . . . that's a lie . . . that's a lie . . ." Said General Johnson: "Mr President, you are the only man in the United States who can call me a liar and get away with it." CLOSE HARMONY— WASHINGTON—All but nine of the senate's 75 democrats assembled in the Pall Mall room of Washington's Raleigh hotel one evening last week to celebrate the accession of new Senate Leader Alben Barkley of Kentucky, to drown old woes in new harmony. Boosted to the leadership last month when his Democratic colleagues were divided with great salmon shipments worth as much as $42,000,000; but Alaska cost just $7,200,000 when the U.S. government bought it from Russia. Payment for this colossal real-estate coup was made by a check on the treasury signed by U.S. Treasurer Francis Elias Spinner, drawn to the order of Russian Minister Edward de Stoeckl and dated Aug. 1, 1868. When Alaskan Delegate to Congress Anthony Dimond last week asked permission to transfer the check to Juneau for permanent display in its historical library, general accounting office authorities were forced shame-facedly to announce that the historic draft—long since canceled and filed in U.S. archives—had been unaccountably mislaid. Fortunately, in the U.S. treasury, as in an old-fashioned attic, valuable relies may be misplaced but rarely lost. After three days' frantic search, the Alaskan check turned up in a musty drawer of the general accounting office where it had reposed since 1921. But by this time the senate committee on territories and insular affairs decided that since the check (a piece of national property) was so easily lost, it would be better to send a photostatic copy to Juneau and send the draft itself for safekeeping in the brand-new National Archices building. "RALEIGH" ROMANCES— VILLEFRANCHE, France — Married to four good-natured French girls by the mayor of Villefranche one afternoon last week were for members of the crew of U.S. S. Cruiser "Raleigh," on independent duty in the Mediterranean, thus bringing to 15 the season's total of weddings among the "Raleigh" crew. A 16th wedding was postponed because Seaman Charles Shapperly of Haw River, N.C., had neglected to post his banns ten days in advance, and the "Raleigh" sailed for Marsville. Main feature of "Raleigh" romances has been that, since none of the brides could speak English and none of the bridegrooms French, all have been conducted in a "sign language," about the officiacy of which, through an interpreter, brides and bridegrooms last week were equally enthusiastic. Said Bridegroom Joseph Lionel Archambaud of Pittsfield, Mass., "I don't understand a word she is talking about but . . . anything she American Automobile association last week were the results of a survey of 10,000 persons between 20 and 40 years old in 35 U.S. cities proving clearly that men are better drivers than women. Their average wheel grip measured 114 lb. against 63 lb. for women. They could withstand 58 units of light, whereas women could withstand only 55.1 and could recover in 5.55 sec. from glare which blinded women for 7.47 sec. Other tests indicated that men generally have quicker reactions, better hearing better concentration when at the wheel, although women drive more slowly, distinguish colors better, have better vision from the corner of the eye. Quipped Safety Director Burton W. Marsh, who conducted the tests: "The ladies may not find it tactful to cite that men have higher blood pressure, because the men might say it's caused by women drivers." LIQUOR RULINGS— TRENTON, New Jersey—"Get Lit at the Lighthouse' is no fit sign to hang outside a saloon. If I allowed you to get away with it we should be flooded with signs such as 'Get Soused at Sousa's', 'Stewed at Stuart's', or 'Pie-eyed at the Pianola'." Thus did New Jersey's $13,000-a-year publicity-wise state alcoholic beverage control commissioner D. Frederick Burnett last week rule on the question of fit signs for bars. Anxious to please the press, Commissioner Burnett seldom让 a week go by without turning out on his mimeograph at least one newsworthy wisecrack ruling. Some of his decisions which set a new high in liquor control: When a bartender was accused of using a baseball bat on an unruly patron's head: "It is a crime, but not moral turpitude." Of a nude picture over a bar: "The painting is medioere, the color flat, the style eclectic and the subject trite . . . (but) this picture is not obscene. Therefore I shall not order its removal." When an Italian saloonkeeper was accused of advertising his place as "Muldoon's": "It is a subtle compliment to the Irish." On Mulligan, a concoction of whiskey, gin, beer or ale with dry peppers: "I do not think offhand of any objection if someone wants his beer a la Tobasco." On keeping whiskey chilled in summer: "You may keep it on ice." CLOSE HARMONY— WASHINGTON—All but nine of the senate's 75 democrats assembled in the Pall Mall room of Washington's Raleigh hotel one evening last to week to celebrate the accession of new Senate Leader Alben Barkley of Kentucky, to drown old woes in new harmony, Boosted to the leadership last month when his Democratic colleagues were divided with great bitterness over the supreme court issue, Alben Barkley could with his original handicap removed, lead a reunited majority through a triumphal finale in a closing congress. Senator King, head of the subcommittee which drafted the vehement report recommending that the president's court bill be overwhelmingly rejected, put his arm affectionately around Alben Barkley's shoulder. Senator Pat Harrison, defeated by one vote for the post Senator Barkley won, spoke in tribute to his successful rival. Franklin Roosevelt was not present., but Vice President Garner read the president's culogy of the new leader. Senator Byrnes sang "When I Grow Too Old to Dream," and Alben Barkley himself rendered his favorite "Wagon Wheels." Trying to continue this close harmony to put through final legislation, Leader Barkley next morning sent to Vice President Garner's desk a memorandum outlining the order in which bills were to be considered. Senator King was about to be recognized to call up the District of Columbia airport bill; but as he rustled his papers, New York's Senator Rob- Main feature of "Raleigh" romances has been that, since none of the brides could speak English and none of the bridegrooms French, all have been conducted in a "sign language," about the officacy of which, through an interpreter, brides and bridegrooms last week were equally enthusiastic. Said Bridegroom Joseph Lionel Archambaud of Pittsfield, Mass., "I don't understand a word she is talking about but... anything she says is O. K...." Said Mme. Archambaud: "When he asked me to marry him, I understood right away." Said Seaman Shappler who plans to marry Yvonne Jeanne Gagelias before leaving France, take her back to his home in Haw River, N. C.: "I'll soon have my sweetie talking hillbilly instead of sign language." One "Raleigh" bridegroom, under age, wired home for permission to marry, got back a cable: "Good luck. Can't be much worse than one you had here."

Jesus' words, from John, are the Golden Text: "The Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: that all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father." One of the Bible selections in the Lesson-Sermon presents these passages from the Acts: "The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; ... And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: ... For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you." The Lesson-Sermon includes also this statement from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Maker Eddy: "The Christ was the Spirit which Jesus implied in his own statements: 'I am the way, and the life:' I and my Father are one." This Christ, or divinity of the man Jesus, was his divine nature, the godliness which animated him." Sheppard Opens Offices Sept. 5 Congressman Harry R. Sheppard will return to his district September 5th, he announced this week.

"Since our district is so large in area I feel that our congressional office should be moved from time to time in order that constituents may contact my office without traveling an unreasonable distance," Sheppard said. "They are entitled to this service and I want to be in as close a contact with every citizen of our district as possible.
