Nothing of importance was found on Spy Rumrich but crude drawings of a plane and a tank. Spy Hofmann who spoke no English and whose orange-colored hair showed traces of dye, was arrested on the Europa with several letters she had been engaged to deliver, including one offering $1,000 for information about the Navy aircraft carriers Enterprise and Yorktown. Rumrich and Glaser had both been stationed during their Army service in the Canal Zone. Only document of importance which it was suggested they might have stolen was a copy of the secret codes of the Air Service...
...down-&-outers in a hobo "jungle" he distorts them to get an effect equivalent to the ugliness he feels. In last week's show of 22 paintings were several in Evergood's vein of wild, clownish humor. Sunday in Astoria and Recreation, big canvasses composed in bright, crude colors, showed city workers reveling on their day off. Artist Evergood's distaste for rich playgirls was expressed in Beauty...
Tracing the development of communication through the pioneering days of the stage coach, the Pony Express, and finally the first, crude railroads, "Wells-Fargo," which opens today at the University Theatre, is another of Paramount's glorified historical westerns.

Francisco Franco started out with soldier simplicity to create simply a "Government of Order," last week obviously had not fully made up his mind what form of state Spain ought to have. If the potent British friends of Franco should have their way, and if he should win, Spain would...
...Herndon was also a provincial lawyer, cranky and crude, unable to develop his ideas systematically. Consequently when he came to write his own biography in 1888, he leaned on a young collaborator named Jesse Weik to put it into publishable shape. The book contained enough of Herndon's insight and first-hand knowledge to make it a masterly record, but Weik picked and chose over Herndon's materials as he saw fit; the publishers revised the manuscript, and 70-year-old Herndon got only $300 for his share of the work and for his collection of Lincoln documents...
