First official visitor was rotund Flyer Roscoe Turner bringing greetings from the Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce. William Randolph Hearst had inspected the plant, repaired, repainted and 90% new in exhibits, three days before (see p. 38).

He raised the question of the Hungarian loan and asked, in essence, Who holds the bag? Obviously not Skoda; it had paid a dividend of 28 1/2 per cent in 1930, with never a recession in its steady year-by-year increases.
