With all due regard to your reputation for accurate reporting, I cannot accept without a certain amount of skepticism your statement, in TIME, Oct. 18, to the effect that Yankee Outfielder Myril Hoag performs his baseball chores on feet that would do credit to any 5-ft., 100-lb. toe dancer in Hollywood...
...gratifying indeed to note that under the able tutelage of his wife, Mr. Lewis' education has progressed to the point where he is familiar with Messrs Gladstone and Disraeli.

To businessmen who have wondered whether the current market troubles presage a major catastrophe such as occurred in 1929, this low figure was a bulwark of optimism. It proved that Wall Street credit was not over-extended as it was in 1929 when brokerage loans toted up over $8,000,000,000. Except for this strong argument the Reserve Board would almost certainly not have yielded to the Wall Street demands for lessened Government restriction...
