...soon be financing all sorts of U. S. exports to Russia. While this cotton deal was pending Comrade Litvinov dickered through the Legation of friendly Poland with Rumania, Estonia, Latvia, Finland and Turkey-all states bordering the Soviet Union on the West. Since Russia was having trouble in the East last week (see col. 2). Comrade Litvinov offered secret and highly favorable terms to the Western border states for a pact guaranteeing that none of them will attack Russia's European frontier. Close to midnight verbal promises to sign this pact within 24 hours were exchanged. Reports were current...
...rests from his heroic labors, dashes constantly up and down the Fatherland in multi-motored planes, never smokes and subsists wholly on fruit, vegetables, nuts, and dairy products. Last week the Vegetarian Superman flew over Poland's hated Corridor to a big cozy country house at Neudeck in East Prussia. There he gripped hands with that hearty eater of tenderloin steaks, pork sausages, pigs-knuckles and chopped raw beef & onions, President Paul von Beneckendorff und von Hindenburg. In a sense the meeting was historic. It marked a knife line between the original Hitler Cabinet containing "Safeguard Ministers"-old & trusted...
...Tycoons & Junkers. When worried President von Hindenburg let "Safeguard Minister" Dr. Hugenberg go last week he withdrew support from Germany's most pampered class-his closest friends and neighbors, the East Prussian Junkers (landed proprietors).

As every Junker knows Herr Darré regards their class as a feudal excrescence on new Germany...
...East Savannah, Georgia's First African Baptist Church, Marion Moultrie uprose to begin the service by which he would be ordained a minister. Beside the altar flickering oil lamps lighted the church's storm-cast gloom. Standing below the pulpit, prayer book in hand. Marion Moultrie began solemnly to intone: "We are gathered here this afternoon . . ." Crash! The church was glutted with sound and light. Marion Moultrie swayed, fell dead in the arms of a deacon. . . The blackamoors screamed, then set up such a wailing as they had never before achieved. Police came, took away the body with...
...boom is in reality a tin can boom, for as every one knows tin cans are not made of tin but of sheet steel thinly coated with tin. Exports have soared with the slumping dollar. Nearly 20,000,000 lb. of oil tins were recently ordered for the Far East where after the oil is used they are freely bought & sold for homebuilding, wagon repairs and other purposes. In the U. S. can-makers' inventories are low and a large fruit & vegetable pack is expected. The Hawaiian pineapple pack is estimated at 8,000,000 cases against...
