Caraway was born in Missouri 60 years ago. His father, a Confederate veteran, was murdered in a back-country feud. Young Thad did farm work at 7, sweated as a railroad section hand, sold patent medicines, taught school. Later he studied law. In 1912 he was elected to the House of Representatives where he served three quiet, inconspicuous terms. Not until he came to the Senate did his quality as a political gadfly on the broad complacent back of the G. O. P. elephant become apparent. A friendly, amiable man out of politics, he shunned Washington Society, put two sons...
...Feud. Mr. Gardiner began growling at President Hoover before the London Naval Conference of 1930. He said the President was "starving" the Navy. He accused him of "congenital pacifism." He loudly deplored the London agreement, which required the U. S. to put part of its auxiliary naval strength into small 6-in.-gun cruisers, as a "surrender to the British."

Founder Giannini announced his resignation had been presented last June "because I could not approve of the plans, policies and procedure of my successor, Chairman Walker." Ironic was this statement since Founder Giannini is supposed to have chosen Mr. Walker carefully to succeed...
Captain Nakamura. A more obvious cause is the age-old feud between China and Japan which roots in the dislike of any peace-loving, impoverished people for pushing, successful, militaristic neighbors. This feud has been fanned by China's realization of her gradual loss of Manchuria. There is a Japan Boycott Society with branches throughout China. For over a year there have been anti-Japanese riots throughout Manchuria. Last month a Captain Shintaro Nakamura of the Japanese Army left Mukden to make survey maps in the Manchurian interior. He was provided with papers giving him full permission signed...
...bitter is the feud between the Army and Navy over the aerial defense of the U. S. seacoast. Each service claims this duty by right, insists it can do a better job than the other repelling an offshore enemy from the air. Last week this argument flared up again when the Army Air Corps tried and failed to sink with bombs a target ship off the Virginia Capes...
