This does not mean that Mr. Banfield has lost faith in his Iron Fireman. Sales of automatic stokers are on the rise. In 1933 one automatic stoker was sold for every six oil burners; last year the proportion was one to 2.2. But he has cogent reasons for surprising his dealers: 1) About a third of Iron Fireman dealers sell oil burners as well as stokers, and he would like them to have a complete line of Iron Fireman equipment; 2) The rest of his dealers want a crack at the new construction market, for most contractors still...
...Most cogent of a string of other objectors to a bigger U. S. Navy was eminent Historian Charles A. Beard whose thesis was the eminently simple one that the only possible excuse for giving the Navy $800,000,000 was to implement the President's desire to "quarantine" aggressor nations; that such a quarantine would mean "aggressive warfare in the far Pacific or the far Atlantic"; and that if, on the contrary, "Congress intends to provide defense for the American domain of interest in this hemisphere, it should make corresponding alterations in the President's program." Historian Beard...
...This cogent and moving episode absorbs about an hour of film. For the next hour Screenwriters Samuel Hoffenstein, Salka Viertel and S. N. Behrman seem undecided what to do for story matter.

Says she: "'The savior of Europe has become a son-in-law." Not until after the retreat from Moscow does Marie have much more to do with the Emperor, except for bearing...
...proved that he lacks the ability to translate his ideas into sound legislation. When Mr. Landon observed that the President has delayed social progress by insisting on the passage of readymade laws which, after trial, prove to be of inferior workmanship, his statement was accurate and supported by cogent illustrations from recent history. The NRA was the most distressing example of Mr. Roosevelt's leap-before-you-look policy, and accounted for two years of confusion and wasted time in the national economy. The Wagner Act and the Social Security Act, also, are poorly-drafted laws which must be done...
Last week a onetime president of the Chicago Dental Society, alert & articulate Dr. Edward James Ryan, offered Hamilton and the children who were burned beyond recognition by the New London, Texas school explosion as cogent reasons for adding charts of every U. S. mouth to the Department of Justice's files. Such charts might valuably supplement the Department's four means of identifying criminals, prove even more useful as a means of identifying unknown corpses...
