Imperial imperturbably grounded the 234-mile-an-hour ships to get the bugs out of the landing gear. At week's end the ships were restored to service.

...Friends. Chief insider in the 'Beaverbrook set" is fat, bland, arrogant Valentine Edward Charles (''Val") Browne, Viscount Castlerosse, who is regarded in London as an English Walter Winchell, gets $25,000 a year for turning out a half page of heavy chitchat for the Sunday Express and Daily Express.
