Behind the Headlines (RKO). Reporters who had to compete with Newsflash Broadcaster Eddy Haines (Lee Tracy) agreed that if they threw him out of the window he would scoop them by broadcasting the news all the way to the ground. Mary Bradley (Diana Gibson), the Star's sobsister, had been engaged to him until he sent her to pick out a ring while he beat her to the story of a round-the-world flight. In her opinion he was such an "utter cockroach" that she hired thugs to bar him from a dance hall fire, news of which...
...sandwiches and drinking coffee in Mr. Young's tapestried dining room, newshawks met short, grey Frank B. Bernard of Muncie's Merchants National Bank, who will represent the Ball Foundation on Alleghany Corp.'s board. Next to be introduced was ruddy-faced, bald-pated Charles Leininger Bradley, chairman of the Erie R. R. and one of the late Oris Paxton Van Sweringen's closest associates.

Louchheirn's Pompoon (clockwise from upper left on TIME'S front cover). Last week the group suddenly dispersed. At Lexington, Ky. in the Blue Grass Stakes, when Brooklyn finished third, behind his stablemate Billionaire and Fencing...
...famed sprinter but bad at long races and 1¼miles is a long race. Brooklyn and his stablemate Billionaire were originally favored because horses from the stable of their owner, whose horses' names always begin with B, have won the Kentucky Derby four times; and because Owner Bradley had bet $10,000 to $11,000 with Owner Louchheim that Brooklyn would beat Pompoon, winter book favorite. Twice Bradley horses have finished in tandem position in winning the Derby (Behave Yourself & Black Servant in 1921, Bubbling Over & Bagenbaggage in 1926). Since last week's race was the second...
