Voice of the People. Preliminary results of a popular poll on the subject, published last week by the American Institute of Public Opinion, indicated on incomplete returns that although 61% voted for Franklin Roosevelt last autumn, 53% to 60% in various regions were opposed to his Court plan. Only one State, New York, gave it a majority...
...American Airways was the first to act. Mindful of early Boeing flying boats and of the 299's splendid wing design, P. A. A. last autumn gave Boeing a contract for six gigantic Clippers, each to have two decks, carry 60 passengers, weigh 41 tons, speed at 200 m.p.h.

Pilots had to test-fly under all conditions for 15 hours before they could take a Douglas up with passengers. They had to fly a month more before they were allowed to carry passengers...
Police exulted over those tell-tale photo graphs when they raided this abortorium last autumn. But prosecutors did not need to subpoena any of the women as witnesses, for Anna Bartholomeo, 20, inmate of the North Jersey Training School for Girls, testified willingly. This young woman went to the Harley establishment last spring, when she was three months pregnant. Because she had neglected to take out a Harley anti-birth policy, "Dr." Harley wanted to charge her $150 for the abortion. Her "friend," who accompanied her, haggled the charge down to $125, whereupon Anna Bartholomeo was promptly delivered...
