...there on the dot, but not Mr. MacCracken. He drove up at 4 p. m., explaining that he had started out without knowing just where the jail was, lost his way. Lugging well-labeled suitcases, he marched inside the dingy red building, was searched and fingerprinted. Past the cell-block where ordinary jailbirds are cooped he was led into the mess hall reserved for "short-termers," then into the short-termers' dormitory. Next morning he took up his duties as file clerk. His jailer announced that he would be allowed outdoors "twice a week," could entertain visitors...
...District Judge Charles Irvin Dawson at Louisville, like Judge Nields at Wilmington, belongs to that huge company of Federal jurists which the Harding-Coolidge-Hoover regime left behind to plague its successors. Not only is Judge Dawson a "Block" Southern Republican but also a Businessman who resigned some years ago as board chairman of Kentucky Home Life Insurance Co.

When tea time came, he too had tea brought into the men's bath, like the morose old Magyars staring at him dully through the mist...
Month ago Pittsburgh newspaper publishers flew into a swivet because Kaufmann's department store, biggest in town, began to broadcast news over the radio (TIME, Jan. 28). The newspapers, Hearst's Sun-Telegraph, Paul Block's Post-Gazette, Scripps-Howard's Press, were prevented from doing so by the year-old Press-Radio "truce." Lacking the nerve to hit back by throwing Kaufmann advertising out of their papers, the publishers last fortnight did the next-best thing, canceled their own truce. Publisher Hearst took to the air with a news program simultaneous with the Kaufmann schedule...
