The effect of Great Britain's de facto recognition is that I am bound to treat the acts of the Government which was so recognized as acts which cannot be impugned.''

Radio. Like the newsreel cameras, 28 radio microphones were strung by British Broadcasting Corp. along the seven miles from the Palace to the Abbey and return. Into a central control room at Broadcasting House, through 472 miles of wire and twelve tons of equipment, poured a Babel of sounds-trumpets, cheers, tramping, coughs, prayers, commentaries-to be sifted and unified, put on the world's ether waves.

However, Governor...

C. & O.'s past connections with another strand, Chicago & Eastern Illinois, meanwhile came under the pained scrutiny of Montana's Senator Wheeler and his committee investigating railroad finance.
