...with the Ditch. The pro-ditchers would not be downed, and they had new support. Their big ace was none other than Senator Bridges. His chilly constituents had convinced him. Last week he spark-plugged a Senate move to override the House action, to attach the Florida barge-canal appropriation to a War Department appropriations bill...
...border broadcast of a big-time U.S.. program were Rumania's ex-King Carol, Mistress Magda Lupescu, U.S. Ambassador George S. Messersmith and wife Marion, pert Puppet Charlie McCarthy and Dandier Edgar Bergen. "Hi, horseface!" yipped Charlie, staring down from the stage at a U.S. Embassy attaché's small son.

...Japanese naval officer. He was a language officer in the U.S. in 1913 and studied law at Harvard for seven months. He even took courses at the War College. In 1928 he commanded a Japanese training squadron which visited Annapolis, was received by President Hoover.

This week Argentina slapped back, requested that the spy be recalled to Germany...
...publicity about the mere periphery and mechanics of music itself, which, unlike football, can't be made a universal pastime without cheapening it beyond recognition. It takes as much practice in listening to understand Beethoven as it does practice in reading to enjoy Shakespeare. It is also foolish to attach some sort of moral valuation to one kind of music, as so many people do, as if you would get an aisle seat in Heaven for listening to "good" music, and roast in Hades for fainting yourself with jazz. Tolstoi thought that all music was an invention of the devil...
