...chief whiskeys in General Foods' eye, and also Gordon's Gin. The last was a cause for much debate and speculation. The importing company that had Gordon's in the old days had come sufficiently to life to give DCL legal pause in assigning this agency afresh. Observers waited to see whether the Gordon prize would fall to the General Foods crowd, led by its hustling Chairman Edward F. ("Ed") Hutton and Thomas L. Chadbourne, or to National Distillers for whom, for the sake of his insurance business, James Roosevelt was doing some discreet wangling, including...

If a veteran was so permanently and totally disabled in civil life as to become a public charge, the Government would help him-but no other...
Saito Next? Touchy Japanese patriots boiled afresh last week at rumors that Premier Admiral Viscount Makoto Saito recently "affronted" Emperor Hirohito by speaking out of turn and ahead of His Majesty at the Imperial New Year's Banquet. In or out of turn, what Premier Saito spoke was a eulogy of his Emperor, yet zealots of the Imperial Banner Immortality Association began to distribute a "proclamation" which many a Japanese considered a death threat to Saito...
