...Senate of the U. S. on Dec. 16, 1929 passed a bill authorizing the Federal Radio Commission "to appoint a Chief Engineer, who shall receive a salary of $10,000 per annum, and not to exceed two assistants to such Chief Engineer at salaries not to exceed $7,500 per annum. . . .'

Easiest way to pacify the students, popularize the Cabinet, seemed to be to appoint the champagne-cocktail Duke as Minister of Education. To oblige his pal and King, blithe Alba took the stodgy post, settled the students' strike in a day, helped immeasurably with his national popularity and prestige to bolster the otherwise undistinguished new Cabinet...
Cadet Parham, appointed from Chicago by Negro Congressman Oscar De Priest, entered the Academy last summer (TIME, July 15). Almost at once he fell behind his class in mathematics (algebra and geometry). Once when he was about to resign Congressman De Priest came to see him, urged him to "stick it out."

They feared that if German politicians could depose the head of the Reichsbank they might...
...been less than lukewarm to the dictatorship, continually giving awkward hints of a return to parliamentary government "as soon as conditions warrant." A month ago Madrid cafes buzzed with gossip that the King was about to demand the resignation of Dictator Primo de Rivera as Prime Minister and appoint that elegant grandee, the Duke of Alba, in his place (TIME, Dec. 2). Dictator Primo de Rivera quashed the rumor, sternly announced that the present dictatorship would continue "indefinitely." King Alfonso was not amused. Fortnight ago when the Prime Minister presented his Cabinet's program for the coming year, King...
