...last week the factional split between Democratic friends & foes of St. Louis' Mayor Bernard F. ("Barney") Dickmann had resulted in nothing more than bad blood, hot words. Last week both sides got their dander up over a city-wide poll on a $7,500,000 bond issue to build a memorial to Thomas Jefferson beside the Mississippi. Following day City Market Master James O. Stubbs and State Representative Lawrence J. Fontana, both Dickmann men, marched with two friends into the office of City Recorder of Deeds John P. English, head of the anti-Dickmann faction...
Early one morning last week in her native Brooklyn Miss Ingalls' new Wasp-powered Lockheed Orion Auto da Fe (Act of Faith) was trundled out of a hangar for a non-stop flight to California. Standing beside the gleaming black-&-silver monoplane, Miss Ingalls' dander rose when a bystander said something about a possible funeral. ''You be quiet!" she snapped, blue eyes blazing.

Said he: "I have the duty of my post to complete: first, because I am the President of the Republic; second, because I am Carlos Mendieta; and, third, because I am a leader- a fact I have never wanted to make...
Chairman Nye, as usual, proved a heavy-handed cross-examiner and got little information without aid from the Committee's investigator, Stephen Raushenbush. Little more effective was plump Senator Bennett Champ Clark, who got everybody's dander up by expressing extraneous personal opinions, by taking the attitude that all the witnesses were trying to put something over on the Committee. Best of the Senatorial inquisitors was Michigan's Senator Vandenberg. Yet with all the dramatic material offered by a munitions inquiry, the best dirt the Committee could...
