Administrator Elmer Frank Andrews of the Wage-Hour law last week announced selection of his strong-arm man: the Assistant Administrator in charge of compliance. He will be bald, stoutish Major Arthur L. Fletcher, 57, since 1933 North Carolina's commissioner of Labor, a War veteran lawyer who used to work in his State's tax division with Josiah Bailey, now a Senator. Major Fletcher's chief accomplishment, besides drafting labor laws hailed as models, and condemning "gypsy" factories which exploit communities briefly and then move on has been raising flowers (150 varieties) in his garden...
...this double negative, Secretary Hull last week, again with the help of Under Secretary Sumner Welles's forceful pen, dispatched an answer. He declared that expropriation without compensation is "bald . . . unadulterated confiscation"; that Mexico's attitude was alien to the constitutions and undermined confidence in the fair dealing of all 21 Republics of the Western Hemisphere; that Mexico ought at least to stop expropriating the lands of U. S. owners, agree to a two-man (U. S. and Mexican) commission to fix values, and start putting aside some cash to pay for lands already taken...
...salient-to-the-sea, Spain's Leftists last week launched another. The second dented the south side of the salient, some 30 miles west of battered Teruel. Taking advantage of the fact that the Rightists had shipped 40,000 troops from the Teruel area to the Ebro front, bald-domed General José Miaja, commander-in-chief on the southern Leftist front, pushed his forces through thinly-held Rightist lines in the Universales Mountains. He drove down the Guadalaviar River valley for six miles, to within nine miles of Albarracin, which commands a broad, unfortified plateau leading to Teruel...
...months, the balloon, billowing up in the Teruel-to-the-Mediterranean front, has been in Leftist hands. Last week, unable to stand up under the downpour of shells, bald-domed General Jose Miaja, commander-in-chief on the Leftists' southern front, inched his troops backward, holed up in new trenches dug across the neck of the balloon in the rugged Sierra Espadan Mountains. Against this straightened, bristling front line of barbed wire, concrete machine-gun emplacements running from just northwest of Viver, 34 miles from Valencia on the Teruel-Sagunto road, to the seacoast 30 miles away, the Rightists...
...utility industry has resembled a poker game with vast stakes and SEC Chairman William O. Douglas dealing. Last week, Bill Douglas dealt a new hand to an intriguing set of opponents-lean, smart, Floyd Odium of Atlas Corp., fat, cunning Howard Hopson of Associated Gas & Electric Co. and bald, battle-worn Harley Clarke, late president of Utilities Power & Light Corp. As this hard-bitten trio of utility financiers studied their cards, kibitzers gathered thick around. For the play was the first test of the notorious utility "death sentence," and everyone agreed that Bill Douglas had dealt shrewdly...
