Ranking with Captain Erhard among the hopeful harriers is two miler Bill Wright. Jaakko has hopes for Wright as a successful cross country man. On the track last year he showed steady improvement. Though earlier in the season he steadily trailed Henry Marcy in the long run he gradually drew up to Marcy and finally claimed the lead. Roswell Brayton is a man who may come into the light this year. Whereas Erhard and Wright are coming into their last year of college and intercollegiate competition, Brayton has the advantage of being only a Junior this year...
...first nine years in office were a period of first boom and then depression, and A. F. of L. memberships shrank steadily from 2,800,000 to 2,100,000. During that era corruption and abuse permeated several craft unions but Labor politics made it hard for Bill Green to take action even against known A. F. of L. racketeers.

This time the brazen star reporter is a female named Timmy Blake (Joan Blondell). She loves her apparently unconcerned managing editor, Bill Morgan (Pat O'Brien). He loves her too but has no time for foolishness. Between the first sequence and the last, Joan Blondell swoops through a breathlessly foreshortened flight of pseudo-newsfalconry. She gets an innocent woman indicted for murder, flattens a leering lounger with a right hook...
...anticipated fortnight ago when tense young James McCauley Landis retired from the chairmanship of the Securities & Exchange Commission to become Dean of the Harvard Law School, tense young SECommissioner William Orville ("Bill") Douglas was last week elected to succeed him. Like his predecessor, a missionary's son, Bill Douglas was born in Minnesota 38 years ago, grew up in Yakima, Wash., since 1932 has been Sterling Professor of Law at Yale. On leave from that top-notch teaching berth since 1934 to assist the SEC, he has been a commissioner since January 1936. Upon his election to chairman...
