...Orleans' newly formed Hibernia National Bank, successor of Hibernia Bank & Trust Co. (saved once in February by a special one-day bank holiday, it was not able to open wide after the big bank holiday). Some $1,500,000 of R. F. C. money matched by an equal amount in stock subscriptions launched the new bank. It will be a national not a state bank like its predecessor. Thereby Hibernia will get out from under control of Louisiana's State banking department which, dominated by Huey Long, has forced Louisiana banks to dance to the mad Long tune...

Quick action is necessary. Therefore, it seems wise to give controlling powers to the president and the Federal Reserve Board. Within broad limits it can be controlled. There is no danger that...
Digressing, the Playgoer has learned that experiments among law school students have revealed that given two men of equal ability, the one studying five nights a week and "making a week-end of it" obtains higher grades than the man who surrenders all seven nights to study. Renders in the Senior and Junior classes are free to discover what implication they will in this finding...
