Swedish Press Halls Award
To Andre Glide
Although the Swedish Academy
has not forsaken its habit of pref
erably giving the literary prize to
already greying and honored au-
thors," writes Ivan PAUL. in Morg
on-Tidningen, M. Glide is well
worth the award, because of his
literary skill and the honest, I'm
dogmatic idealism that character
ICES his professionalism is not
always easy to understand" Sten
Selander, noted poet and essayist,
states in Svenska Dagbladet that
this years choice shows "a free
dom from narrow prejudices and
proves that the Academy has been
able to look behind the surface
and reach the essential. Right or
wrong. this is a characteristic not
always associated with academies. ;"

 The, mishap occurred when the Ohio Senator ordered the car stepped to take, aboard Rep. Homer R. Jones (R-Wash) who voted against the Hartley bill. Last year Jones defeated former Rep. Hugh DeLacy, Democrat, who led the railroad station hecklers.
 Confronted by organized booing, Taft told last nights audience that the "vociferous" demonstrations such as he then was receiving and had been sut jected to at the rail road station could only result in helping the Republicans win the next election.
 IS. Taft, introduced from the stage, remarked smilingly that the picket line through which she had walked with her husband to enter the ball "booed in a rather half hearted way" She added that "by the broad way some of them smil- ed. I'm sure they must be Re- publicans."
