With all its other worries, the U.S. Department of State last week was worried about the answer to two questions: Where in the world was Baron Franz von Werra? Who had helped him to skip the U.S., jump his $15,000 Federal bond...
Held in the U.S. for deportation, under $15,000 bond, Werra stayed in the Westchester home of a German consular agent, was kept "under surveillance" by Department of Justice agents. Recently these hawkshaws, checking up, were told that the Baron had gone South on a hunting trip. Actually, he had sailed for Peru, on a Swiss passport, three weeks before. Red-faced, Attorney General Jackson closed the stable door with a bang. Hereafter, he said, escaped prisoners would be turned back at the border. He denounced German consular officials for conniving at Werra's escape. They chuckled. Since...
Colonel Roosevelt is the only one of his famed father's four sons now in U.S. service.

Treasury bonds-haven of many a former stockmarket dollar-yield less than 2% compared with 3.6% in 1929, a 5% peak after World War I. Top-flight industrial liens yield only 2.3%, half the 1929 rate. Biggest mystery in Wall Street is why investors will grab the bond of a Government-harassed utility paying $30 on a $1,000 investment, but close tight their checkbooks on Chrysler common, which returns $60 a year on exactly the same outlay...
