...Flat-faced, awkward King Levinsky Chicago heavyweight pugilist and onetime fishmonger, encouraged by the shrieks and squeals of his sister and manager Mrs. Lena Levy: a ten-round bout against slick-haired, skilful Tommy Loughran, who was three times knocked clown by Levinsky's right hand; in Manhattan...
Last week the third and greatest unit went into operation when Safe Harbor Water Power Corp. started its first generator, began to deliver power to Baltimore. Safe Harbor, Pa. got its name many years ago when the mouth of Conestoga Creek offered shelter to Susquehanna flat boats. In 1929, when work began on Safe Harbor dam, it was a quiet village. Little work had been done when the stock-market crashed in November but construction went on at a faster pace. The company's bankers, Aldred & Co. of New York, supplied money to Arundel Corp., construction engineers, whenever they...
Thus M. Laval, a typical petit bourgeois, nailed his political flag to a popular French policy perhaps impossible of realization. Already the British Conservative Party (an overwhelming majority in Parliament) has served notice that German private debts must have priority over Reparations-in flat contradiction of M.

C. last month rejected the roads' plea for a flat 15% rate-upping as an emergency revenue measure, it proposed, as a substitute, an increase in carload rates ($3 and $6) to add between $100.000.000 and $125,000,000 per year to carriers' income (TIME, Nov. 2). But the Commission tied a strong string to its proposal: this extra revenue must be pooled and from the pool weak roads which could not pay their bond interest and other fixed charges must receive as outright gifts whatever they needed in cash to escape bankruptcy...
President Hoover was supposed to have agreed to this "French thesis," and Premier Laval has been repeating it with insistence to German Ambassador Leopold von Hoesch at Paris (TIME, Nov. 9 et seq.). But in flat contradiction the German note declared last week that the new Young Plan committee "must examine the problem in its entirety" both as to non-postponable and postponable annuities "and must especially take into account that the question of Germany's private indebtedness must be newly regulated in good time before the end of February...
