...make the Third Reich economically self-sufficient, state capitalism will follow. This sounded more ominous in light of persistent rumors from Berlin last week that Minister of Economics Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, who has kept the Reich going by rabbit-out-of-hat financing, will resign because his economic views differ widely from those of Economic Dictator General Goring. 2) Timed to coincide with the blistering notes exchanged by Russia and Italy over the Mediterranean crises, the Fuhrer's Proclamation warned that a "community of interests" exists among Germany, Italy, Japan aimed at "safeguarding Europe from chaotic madness" and dedicated...
...members of the Society of Friends. Their organized groups, called "meetings," are spotted irrelevantly over the map of the world. Largest is the London Yearly Meeting, with 20,000 members. Next in size is the Five Year Meeting of Indiana, located near Richmond, Ind. with 16,000 members who differ from most Quakers in having formal services with paid pastors. The combined Race Street and Arch Street Meetings of Philadelphia (15,000) are now practically reunited, after having been respectively Hicksite and Orthodox Quakers as a result of a schism a century ago.* Next largest are the Africa Eastern Group...

The finger prints of another recent murderer, John Hamilton, proved useless to police who found his body a year after his death. Identification of Hamilton...
...first big Westinghouse coups was the installation of 36 top-speed (1,400 ft. per min.) elevators in Radio City's 69-story Rockefeller Tower. These smooth performers differ from Otis elevators in the use of photo-electric cells instead of the usual electrical contacts for braking and for leveling off at each floor. In en- gineering innovations Westinghouse has kept in stride with Otis by matching Otis' double-decker elevators in Manhattan's Cities Service Building with a system for running two elevators in the same shaft. But Otis' great advantage lies in its maintenance...
