...this spendthrift energy produced, beside mob cheers and showers of torn paper, just two addenda to the history of the campaign of 1936. One was the emergence of the Social Security Act as a prime issue. Capitalizing their belated discovery that the 1% tax on wages which goes into effect next January to begin a sinking fund of some $40,000,000,000 for workers' annuities was a vote getter for Republicans (TIME, Nov. 2), Governor Landon and his cohorts hammered it home, while Franklin Roosevelt & friends cried "Shame," "Falsehood," "Coercion...
...four lone bottles credited to Princeton show that President Dodds' request must have had some effect.

In practice, as the partners retired, the buyer elected was generally N. W. Ayer & Son, Inc., which now has 117,000 such shares in its treasury...
Snapped President Batten in a public counterattack: "In today's newspapers appears a statement purporting to emanate from George H. Thornley, formerly a vice president of N. W. Ayer & Son, Inc., to the effect that he has exercised an option to acquire stock control of this corporation. . . . Since he is seeking to establish this contention over the opposition of all parties concerned by litigation, the officers of the corporation are opposed to any attempt to try the case in the newspapers...
