...emergency, greatly reduce production costs. The Army & Navy could see no reason why advanced models developed with U.S. Government dollars should be made immediately available to foreign powers and the manufacturers got nowhere with their arguments. Nevertheless, they continued to apply pressure. Reports have circulated freely this autumn that the British Air Ministry was preparing to buy 1,500 fighting planes from unnamed U. S. manufacturers. Last week Secretary of War Woodring and Secretary of the Navy Swanson, wearying of the pressure, decided to have the question of foreign sales settled formally and finally by President Roosevelt. After a White...
...these, only Major County, up on the Cimarron River near the Kansas border, failed this autumn to vote the Democratic ticket for President and Senator. Last week at Major's county seat of Fairview, which lies on the main line of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe R. R., Gerald Vincent Underwood, publisher, and Cass Alonzo Carr, editor of the Fairview Republican, took matters into their own hands. Announced they in their paper...
...Woman's Symphony Orchestra through its tenth, most gratifying season (TIME, Dec. 16, 1935). Long before her last concert it became clear that the Opera's loss was the Symphony's gain, that the woman's orchestra might look for more subscriptions, bigger patrons this autumn.

Of course, this was not additional work: it was work done in the autumn and winter which would otherwise be done in the spring. But it meant that nearly 100,000 more motor workers had jobs when they most needed them. In the industries which supply the motor trade like steel, glass, rubber, chemicals, textiles, the pre-year plan made another 50,000 winter...
This complete dependence on timing is one reason for the motormen's bitter opposition to union labor. They are too vulnerable to be comfortable. In the autumn of 1933 a tool & die makers' strike tied up most of the industry, many a model at the 1934 show being practically handmade. The strike in the Chevrolet transmission plant in Toledo two years ago temporarily crippled the entire Chevrolet organization. Since that experience General Motors has done what Henry Ford did previously-made sure of at least two sources of supply. The haunting fear of possible famine had something...
