...They attest to a brilliant sun that glinted off the dazzling white of the Panay's squat hull. They show that the attack was methodical, crafty, well-aimed. Because the cameramen (Universal's Norman Alley, Movietone's Eric Mayell) stayed on the Panay to take shots of the wreckage, they missed the machine-gunning from the air of the first boatload of survivors to head for shore, an attack that killed two already wounded seamen. The boat, holes torn in its planking by bullets, was filmed later. Because the cameramen buried their equipment in the mud when...

Measures pertaining to standard rules of eligibility, registration of athletes and investigation...
...Smith recently pointed out, it was the New Deal which walked out on the Democratic Party, and with it walked Herbert H. Lchman. "The high priest of real democracy" indicated that he would support Bleakley as well as Landon, and nothing could more surely attest to the present Governor's repugnance to followers of Jefferson. Anyone who takes to heart former Governor Smith's admonition to separate the political bunk from the facts must come to agree with him and the men he supports...
