...farms mainly serve as meat factories. Last week the beef cattle situation, though it made no great headlines, was causing the Department of Agriculture its principal worry. Throughout the stricken cattle country water holes and ponds had dried into cakey mud. Unless farmers could raise a bumper autumn crop of forage, which seemed unlikely, cattle would die by droves this winter. One of the states hardest hit by the drought of 1934, which reduced the total U.S. cattle herd some 9,000,000 head below normal, was North Dakota, which lost, either by forced slaughter or shipping...
...olive-skinned Fulvio Suvich as Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs, appointed him Ambassador to the U. S. in place of Augusto Rosso. Last week President Roosevelt returned the compliment, announced that his good friend Undersecretary of State William Phillips would succeed Breckinridge Long as U. S.

Last autumn, with The Story of Louis Pasteur, Warner Brothers made the astonishing discovery that straightforward biography, long a well-rewarded branch of literature and the theatre, was equally adaptable to the cinema. The White Angel, another apple from the same branch, is not only a worthy but often a fascinating study...
...change. To illustrate his own faith in the legend of Joe Louis, he got married two hours before he fought Baer. The more perfectly he lived up to the weird picture of himself created by the Press, the more frantically the Press worked to improve the picture. By last autumn Louis was not merely the ablest fighter of his generation but the greatest of all time. His opponents, crediting the myth, approached the ring as though it were an abattoir. Chicago's pugilistic chopping block, King Levinsky, lasted 141 seconds. Tough old Paulino Uzcudun did better...
