With hollow tubes inside their vests, wily Prohibition Agent H. H. Porter and assistants last week deployed on Atlantic City's boardwalk and drank with oldtime beer-hounds. While the beer-hounds drank, Agent Porter and crew put their liquor into their hollow tubes, to which access was available through the top vest-button. When the tubes disgorged their contents, the agents thought the giant Drink would be slain in Atlantic City. They had seen every sign af drunkenness in 15 different bars visited...

Due to the urgency of Compagnie Generale Aeropostale, a French government-subsidized line running from Buenos Aires to Natal, Brazil, the French government has forbidden NYRBA landing at or flying over French possessions, unless NYRBA carries mail for Aeropostale and gives the latter access to its airports. The U. S. State Department last week was chaffering with the French government on this matter. Watching the situation was not only NYRBA and Aeropostale, but also the German Condor Line which also parallels much of the Aeropostale route, and Pan American Airways which intends to parallel NYRBA...
