...chronicle of the years 1932-35 in U. S. Government (the last four of his seven years he was on the outside looking in); rich in broken confidences, intimate quotations, facts from the political bedroom. It could have come only from a bitter, frustrated, able man who once was close to the President. By letting the Saturday Evening Post serialize 100,000 of his 190,000 words, Raymond Moley did not make things any better with his outraged successors in the Janizariat. They belittle it as the garrulous grousing of a "shellshocked veteran," note the overtones of its author...
Military Dictatorship. To keep a tight grip on Rumania and pursue the Iron Guard to extinction, King Carol quickly formed a new Cabinet headed by General George Argeseanu, Commander of the Second Army Corps, as Premier. His Majesty's close personal friend, General Ion Ileus, became War Minister and General Gabriel Marinescu was put in charge of the police as Minister of Interior...

...General Motors Corp.'s Allison Engineering Co. (Indianapolis), which is just getting into production on liquid-cooled inline motors. If there is ever a bottleneck in the production of aircraft for war it will be in the compact engine business, but last week it did not appear close. For Pratt & Whitney and Wright had finished their expansions for wartime business, were operating at no more than 70% of capacity and finding no trouble getting workmen. In the propeller business Curtiss and Hamilton Standard (Pratt & Whitney corporate brother) were turning out all the props business needs without straining capacity...
