...lieutenant governor, and naturally would not like to be counted out in the primaries by the other faction of the machine. More startling was another report. The present Governor, Richard Webster Leche, has everything lined up for appointment to the Federal bench when a new judgeship is created "to clear crowded dockets." In some quarters Governor Leche was thought to be the man who quietly arranged the Court decision, for he is trying to woo back to the State some of the industries which Long laws drove away and by the Court decision he could help to reassure them without...
Since 1931 when he turned professional, Tilden has made about $500,000. played an average of 200 matches a year.

A wing would go down five degrees, then wobble back as the other wing dipped. The wallow grew worse. While Wilkins and his co-pilot watched in stricken silence, Capt. Bohnet's plane rolled over on one side as if about...

However, the Federal Reserve not only refused to up its acceptance buying rate to the open market level but actually bought some bankers' ½ bills, for the first time in more than two years, thus flashing its clear distaste for the strength of the money market. When it increased bank reserve requirements last January, the Federal Reserve expected short-term interest rates to firm a little, its chief interest being long-term rates, which it wants to keep low.
