...upon whom Governor Stark sicked Attorney-General Murphy and got him indicted (TIME, April 17). In Kansas, which went Republican last year, Jim Farley got right down to the grassroots, motored from Salina to Topeka with stops at a dozen towns. Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona were on his course, then California, where he may encounter one ambitious Democrat who can be nominated only over Jim Farley's dead body: Paul Vories McNutt, High Commissioner of the Philippines, who sailed for home last week to start his campaign...

Mayer after he saw her on the London stage, hustled to Hollywood, she was tested for a role in Dramatic School, instead spent her time in California having an appendectomy and weathering a siege of influenza. The flu proved lucky, since Dramatic School was a flop. MGM's present plans for her, barring illness, are, first, a part in Susan and God, then the lead in Myron Brinig's May Flavin...
