...defective transformer brought all passenger elevator service to a dead stop in New York's' 77-story Chrysler Building, marooned 14 passengers in cars between floors. In the crowded main floor lobby Landlord Walter P. Chrysler waited 25 min. while mechanics tried to fix his elevators, finally ascended to his office on the 56th floor in a slow-moving freight elevator. Hugo C.

...surgeons from famed Mayo clinic boarded a chartered plane shortly before 8 p. m., flew 500 miles to Detroit, motored 51 more miles to Chatham, Ont. behind a police escort, arrived at 1 a. m. Then they performed an emergency abdominal operation on Mrs. Fred M. Zeder, wife of Chrysler Corp.'s famed chief engineer. In a stateroom of the Santa Fe Chief, Mrs. John J. Mitchell, onetime Lolita Armour, whose cure from a congenital malformation of the hip by Vienna's famed ''bloodless surgeon," Dr. Adolph Lorenz, made huge headlines in 1902, waited nervously...
