Behind the blare of retail trade marched the solid indices of industry. Electric power output last week was 8% above the same week of 1933 and last fortnight touched a 200-week high. Steel production inched upward for the eighth consecutive week to 32.7% of capacity. That still meant losses for the industry but the price of scrap steel, a good key to steel's future, jumped to $13 per ton, up $3 from the autumn low. Building supply companies, aided by the Government's remodeling drive, reported sales up as much as 150%. American Telephone & Telegraph added...
Last March, with a premature blare of headlines, Attorney General Homer Stillé Cummings announced that he was going to prove that Mr. Mellon, while Secretary of the Treasury, had been guilty of tax crookery (TIME, March 19, et seq.).

Last week a handful of potent radiomen began examining them with two questions in mind: 1) Since most radio singers preserve the illusion of being unmarried, did these lyrics contain too strong a note of physical abandon? 2) If so, what was to prevent some outside organization from attempting to clamp a boycott on radio as the Legion of Decency has tried to do on cinema...
...hoarse little housepainter, the rise of the Third Reich, the triumph of Nazi ideology. The word once to be found only in musty lexicons screamed from every morning's newspaper. If the scientific underpinnings of Aryanism were flimsy, the fact was obscured in the dust of marching feet, the blare of bands, the drip of blood...
