# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains satirical news commentary and a cartoon. The main items reference: 1. **Professor Edwin Seligman** (Columbia University) claiming a "indictment having lost some stay" — the exact meaning is unclear from the OCR. 2. **Soviet Russia stopping musical instrument imports** — satirized as taking its "Geneva Peace Program seriously." 3. **Yakima schoolgirls' apple pie** — a humorous item about a ten-foot diameter pie filled with a ton of fruit. 4. **Governor Theodore Christianson of Minnesota** — criticized for requesting a tariff increase on Argentine corn (described as asking "for the moon"). 5. **A New Jersey man's gold watch** — a joke about receiving it as a travel reward after twenty years, then walking away after one trip. The bottom cartoon, captioned "Old Lady Radio Fan—Hot Dog, what a sweet uppercut!," depicts a street brawl, likely satirizing radio listeners' dramatic reactions to popular programming.
