...help train a crew for the Navy's first dirigible, Shenandoah. Out of Navy employ, he formed a company three years ago in Atlantic City, N. J. to build and sell "air yachts" (small blimps) for $10,000 each (TIME, Nov. 3, 1930). He built & flew one, for demonstration, made no sales. Next week the demonstration ship (104-ft. long, four passenger) will be auctioned in Atlantic City to satisfy a claim...
...Havana five days prior. Senator Walsh had married Senora Mina Perez Chaumont de Truffin, a wealthy Cuban widow (TIME, March 6). For all his 73 years and a stiff back the grim, grey Montanan was feeling fine & fit for a short honeymoon. From Havana he flew with his plump bride, 20 years his junior, to Miami where he received official notification of his appointment to the Roosevelt Cabinet. He called at the hospital where Chicago's Mayor Cermak lay close to death. Going on to Daytona Beach Senator Walsh, an honest Dry, told newshawks that under him the Department...

Strangely enough, no monarchical...

As would any airline pilot, he followed the radio beacon toward the airport by watching a needle on a dial and by listening to the blend of dots & dashes in his earphones. Buzzing louder& louder as he neared the field, the dots & dashes suddenly stopped. That, the pilot knew, marked the "blind spot" directly over the beacon itself, hard by the airport...
Attorney General. Thomas James Walsh, 73, Senator from Montana, was more excited last week about taking a wife in Havana than about his seat in the Cabinet. Long a widower, he flew to Cuba where he was the guest of Ambassador Guggenheim. At her suburban villa before 30 witnesses he was married to Senora Mina Perez Chaumont de Truffin, fiftyish, socialite widow of a wealthy Cuban sugar planter. Senator Walsh met his bride in New York two years ago, courted her mostly by mail. One of Mrs. Walsh's two stepdaughters is the wife of the Mayor of Havana...
