...oversight or bad reporting that TIME failed to note that Miss Jacqueline Cochran flew an experimental military pursuit airplane, owned and designed by Republic Aviation Corp., when she flew three weeks ago, under rigid test conditions, faster than man (or woman) ever has done before on a 2,000 kilometer course...
...Dealers drew some comfort from the defeat of pompous, unpopular anti-New Deal Senator Edward Burke by popular Governor Roy L. Cochran in the Democratic primary. Burke had antagonized the farmers by voting against parity payments; Labor, by attacking NLRB; Czechs and Poles, by lauding Hitler; Germans, by voting for repeal of the arms embargo. The Republicans had turned down a New Dealer within their own ranks, Arthur J. Weaver, in favor of Grainman Hugh Butler of Omaha, who probably won because he spent enough money to get a professional organization. The Republicans confidently expected to beat Governor Cochran with...

Blonde, jolly Miss Cochran (Mrs. Floyd Odium on the ground) made them mend such talk in 1938, when she outflew nine men and won the arduous, annual Bendix Trophy Race in 8 hours, 10 minutes, 31.4 seconds (male record: 7 hours, 54 minutes, 26.31 seconds). Last week she popped another speed mark into her bagful of trophies and records: 2.000 kilometers (1,242.74 miles) from Burbank, Calif, to Albuquerque, N. M. and back in 3 hours, 44 minutes, 47 seconds...

Senator Burke, elected six years ago on a New Deal ticket, has consistently opposed New Deal legislation, though his chief campaign cry has been that he has generally supported the Administration. His record in the past three years in the Senate: on 42 bills that mattered, he has voted eight times with the New Deal, 34 times against...
Odlum's Meditation: Two months ago Tycoon Odlum went out to the desert ranch which his wife (No. 2), Aviatrix Jacqueline ("Jackie") Cochran, owns at Indio, Calif., 130 miles east of Los Angeles. He had thinking to do. Since end of 1929 U.S. investment trusts have suffered dollar & prestigewise (TIME, March 25). Atlas alone had conspicuously beaten the game. Its asset value per common share had risen from $5.06 to $12.80-153%. It had distributed nearly $60,000,000 of its peak assets, plus around $20,000,000 in dividends. What was left in the kitty was largely profit...
