about "synchronize" from glib auto

Washington may interfere with the
re-opening of our institutions of
higher learning next fall. Beginn-
ing with the influx of the celebrat-
ed Roosevelt brain trust. the fac
ulty Of Columbia University has
been depleted by drafts on their
personnel. Now and then d profess
or from some other seat of learning
IS added to the government payroll,
but Columbia still holds q monopo
". College friendships are notori-
ously apng-lived and the teaching
friends OF Professors Moley, Tug
well and Berle are capitalizing on

embarrassment. So many OF their
fellows wanted authority to order
captains OF industry about and

suddenly discovered sand on the
track Of their hopes. The Federal
Industrial Recovery Admin s r A.

teal business men familiar with
their industries are more welcome
