Abstract

In the Wind

This article presents brief descriptions of various events, developments, and issues related to social and political fields. It reports that Chicago, Illinois's conservative newspaper, "Tribune," recently launched a bitter attack on the Works Progress Administration, later known as Work Projects Administration, charging "loafing" on Chicago projects. But illustrations adorning the articles betrayed the bias behind the accusation. Another issue, reported here, is concerned with the fate of baseball in contemporary Japan which has evoked wide controversy during a "revaluation" of the nation's sports program. The article reports that, behind the war headlines, a sharp controversy has been raging among White Russians scattered throughout Europe, especially in Bulgaria and Yugoslavia.
