Last December, however, a Parliament-inspired committee of inquiry headed by Lord Cadman began poking into Imperial's affairs. Few months later it decided the company was defective in management, intolerant of suggestion, unyielding in negotiation. It recommended complete reorganization...
John, Baron Cadman of Silverdale is a traveled, reserved, clean-shaven Staffordshire native, 61 years old, who walks from two to five miles for a breakfast appetizer, speaks phonograph-taught French. As plain John Cadman, he devoted his life to coal, gas and oil, spent twelve years' professorship of mining and petroleum technology at Birmingham University before he became head of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Co. Ltd. and was raised to the peerage. When a British M.P. last year accused the Government-backed Imperial Airways of being "the laughing stock of the world," Lord Cadman was named...
...scathing was Cadman's castigation that the Government withheld the report, despite violent press criticism, until they had remedies to offer. Last week the Government offered the British public both.

...inquisitive Second Clarinetist Muenchow, a mild rebuke for steaming off Composer Cadman's title. Julia Mood Peterkin's 1928 Pulitzer Prize Scarlet Sister Mary, a somewhat less scandalous book than the title led the Portland Junior Symphony Orchestra to believe, inspired Composer Cadman to write Dance of Scarlet Sister Mary. After he had watched a New Orleans Mardi Gras he rewrote it, keeping the theme but less than half of the actual music of the original...
