Debarking in the morning, his body clad in soiled seersucker, his mind in deep anxiety, this President who needs only a world peace crown to make him perhaps the most memorable ever, did not tell the press what he had done. When he reached Washington, Mr. Roosevelt saw his State Department chiefs, Cordell Hull and Sumner Welles. Before dinner they also drafted and dispatched appeals to Adolf Hitler and Poland's President Ignace Moscicki. But Mr. Roosevelt warned correspondents that his next morning's press conference would probably yield no major news. At the conference, he referred almost...

Buttressed against wartime demands for working capital, it had $5,768,158 cash, 31% more than last summer...
...wharf friends and kin of the Itacare's passengers braved the ugly weather to greet them. They watched the steamer strain closer, her prow dishing up small seas at every step. Suddenly a huge wave whammed her, sideslipped her into a deep sea-trough. Next instant she dived prow-first. Down she sank, spewing out 36 of her passengers & crew, drowning the rest. It was one of the worst sea disasters of recent years...
