...sedate Hotel Plaza bustled and hummed last week with brisk activity. After more than a year of thoroughgoing preparation. Promoter Adolph Oettinger Goodwin was ready to launch his Goodwin Plan by which church people will promote the sale of certain manufactured products and thereby earn 2% commissions (TIME. Dec. 4. 1933). Despite the criticism leveled at it last year by church papers, the Plan has whetted the pious appetites of churchgoers who plan to give the proceeds to Ladies' Aid Societies, home mission boards, Christian Endeavor, et al. Furthermore, devout buyers are assured that manufacturers will devote the profits...

From a grandtier box wired for sound two of the reporters filmed the action and music on the stage, the swank audience. Others followed Gatti-Casazza backstage, saw what he saw through his private peephole to the stage...
...Francisco Call-Bulletin because, against office orders, he insisted on attending the Guild convention in St. Paul. When after much transcontinental haggling the paper refused to reinstate him, the National Labor Relations Board recommended that NRA take away the Call-Bulletin's Blue Eagle (TIME, Dec. 24). Instantly the newspaper publishers of the U. S. sprang to arms. Dodging the merits of the Jennings case, the publishers insisted that the Labor Board had no jurisdiction over newspaper employes' complaints; that the Newspaper Code provided a special Industrial Board, composed of four employers' and four employes' representatives...
