...publishers, young men both, were William LaVarre, former circulation promoter of the New York Times and New York World, and Harold Hall, former business manager of the New York Telegram. They told of purchasing four papers: the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, the Columbia (S. C.) Record, the Spartanburg (S. C.) Herald and Journal. All purchases were for cash and the entire sum, $870,000, was supplied by International Paper & Power Co.

At Pinehurst are Donald and Alec Ross; at Augusta, Dave and Alec Ogilvie; at Belleair, Alex Smith. Gene Sarazen is at New Port Ritchey, Fla. At Miami...
...eight 10,000-ton cruisers authorized by Congress in 1924 and now abuilding, six had been named-the Pensacola, Salt Lake City, Chester, Chicago, Houston, Augusta. Last week, Secretary Wilbur named a seventh, for obvious reasons, the Northampton. For the eighth ship, a building in Puget Sound, Pacific Coast Republicans urged the name Palo Alto. Iowans protested it should be the West Branch...
