...brisk October morning last year, in a parking lot at North Arlington, N. J., a policeman, mildly curious, wakened a pimply youth of 18 asleep at the wheel of a large sedan. The boy yawned, told the inquisitive policeman to look in the car's trunk. The good cop did so and shuddered. Wedged in the trunk was the mangled body of Dr. James G. Littlefield, 63, stuffed in the rear seat the body of his wife. The boy, Paul Dwyer of South Paris, Me., then told a strange and horrible story: that he had killed the old doctor...
...every part of the Reich, long lines of workers formed last week at the local branches of German Labor's KdF (Strength through Joy organization). The day had come when they could sign up to buy a luxury never before available to European peasants and proletarians: a motor car. Since Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933, he has driven the conservative tycoons of the German automobile industry frantic by demanding that they produce a really cheap "People's Car." Last May he finally took the job away from them and at Fallersleben laid the cornerstone...
While more blanks were being printed, workers tried to get ahead on the waiting lists by applying for cars in blocs of 100 through KdF leaders. All who signed have to begin at once paying installments of five marks ($2) per week toward a car which is to cost about $400, and no interest will be paid on the weekly deposits. If 1,000,000 of Germany's workers subscribe, $104,000,000 will pour in to help build the KdF factory. Meanwhile, batches of apprentices, supplied with free board & lodging, are in training for the "high honor...
...strut and show off on the set. Like most of his contemporaries, Capra works without mannerisms, confers quietly with his actors and technical crew before each take. In Hollywood, long since ashamed of egoparading outside of working hours, it is now fashionable to have a private telephone number, small car, cottage on the beach and one wife at a time. Frank and Lucille Capra, as befits two of the community's most dazzling celebrities, spend most of the year in a vacation cottage at Malibu Beach, send two of their three children to the U. C. L. A. nursery...
...cruiser Orion was anchored in Kingston Harbor; special police and militia were stationed at every street corner with riot guns and tear gas. At the end of the day 52 people had been killed, some 70 more badly injured-but not in fighting. The front engine of a five-car, two-engine train on the Jamaica Central Railway, packed with Kingston citizens going to the country for the Liberation Day weekend, left the rails going up a steep grade outside Balaclava. The rear engine kept going, pushed the front engine over an embankment, piled four of the five coaches...
