Watching from Washington and smelling a stunt, Maritime Commission admirals did not know whether to spank the upstarts or praise them. With characteristic deftness, the Kaisers had delivered the Joe Teal, the 75th Liberty ship from Oregon Shipbuilding Co.'s yard, on the eve of the anniversary of the first Liberty launchings, a day set aside by President Roosevelt for a "Salute to the Victory Fleet." The Kaisers swore nothing had been sacrificed in making their record. A stunt they had done, but not an impossible stunt with modern methods of shipbuilding in which the beginning is not really...
Georgia's famed Atlanta Constitution last week jumped the gun by nearly a year to publish a fat, 144-page 75th-anniversary edition. This haste is typical of the new bounce animating the Constitution in the traditions of its great Editor Henry Woodfin Grady. Responsible was the South's fastest-rising new editor: 43-year-old, 230-lb. Ralph Emerson McGill, who went to the Constitution as assistant sports editor in 1929. In him, the Constitution found the new blood it needed...
...Fifield's drive to pay off the mortgage on the 75th anniversary of the founding of the First Congregational Church is his greatest high-pressure campaign to date.

Last week's meeting, said Berlin, was "marked by hearty friendship." Hermann Göring gave the Baron the Golden German Aviation Medal with Diamonds...
...China's inflation, and whose Ministry has often been accused of aggravating it, is Minister of Finance Dr. H. H. ("Daddy") Rung. Seldom has even a horse-&-buggy doctor operated under such harassments as the coolie-&-ricksha society of bomb-torn Chungking has imposed on aristocratic Dr. Kung, 75th descendant of Confucius. An active ingredient of the inflation has been lack of confidence in the finances of the Chiang Kai-shek Government. Some of his henchmen have been accused of worse things than incompetency. And so a large measure of the responsibility in turning the U.S. and British loans...
