...with obliging helpfulness Senator Vandenberg has proposed a plan which can dispel the heavy fog engulfing government finances and the growing hostility of Capitol Hill. If Congress accept the Michigan Senator's plan for an unemployment census, the President would have a sound basis upon which to formulate his demands and a reliable indication of the true success of his program, Mr. Roosevelt would no longer be torn between two factions demanding from one to three billions for relief, and Presidential estimates would cease to be an economically unscientific but politically prudent mean between...

The best shot in the picture-the horrible apparition of the fatal berg through the fog-is done with...
...best customers are cinema producers, who some time ago discovered that good weather for outdoor "shooting" is one thing that even Hollywood cannot buy. Dr. Krick's uncanny ability to predict, a day or so in advance, the hour when rain will start or stop, when fog will roll in or lift, is reputed to bring him fat fees from cinema coffers...
