...Chief Franklin Roosevelt last week dipped down past Hugh Drum and the 33 next-ranking officers of the Army. For his next Chief of Staff he chose a man who was a colonel until 1936, has been a real Brass Hat only since last July. Brigadier General George Catlett Marshall, Deputy Chief of Staff, at 58 becomes the only full general on active service, the first non-West Pointer since 1914 to be Chief of Staff. The last was Leonard Wood, who began as an Army doctor...
...familiar activity of U.S. housing administrations is slum clearance. Last week several of them got together for their first experiment in slum prevention. Said Fred W. Catlett of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board: "Home owners with expanding incomes and growing families are continually deserting old, established neighborhoods and moving farther and farther from the downtown business areas.

Brother Herbert (John Carradine) called himself a postsurrealist; he painted sublimations in bathrooms, on bay windows, hired a man to douse him with water when working on a marine subject. Mother Pemberton (Mary Boland) was notable for an insane kind of poise which she maintained even when the cook got drunk and had to be locked in the mop closet, or the downstairs maid tried to touch the family...
...play the tune that night because Ernie ran away after he had knocked a man into the river for trying to kiss the bride.' When Ernie finally came home again he quarreled so with Pearl that she went to New Orleans with an itinerant photographer (Walter Catlett). Following her to a cafe in which she had taken refuge from the photographer, Newt made a hit playing river music on his homemade one-man-band contraption. Pearl, following her husband's second reappearance, was about to clear for Chicago with a crooner, and Ernie was on the brink...
