...House fiction, was one of the Coolidge institutions thrown overboard by President Hoover. Last week the Official Spokesman reappeared, but this time it was no fiction. When all the world was at war and Woodrow Wilson had a great deal to do, he used to send out his then good friend and trusted secretary, Joseph Patrick Tumulty, to tell correspondents whatever it was proper for them to know. Five times so far President Hoover has cancelled conferences with pressmen. Last week, distracted by Tariff, World Court, Arms Reduction and Republican National Committee, he sent his trusted secretary George Akerson...
Last spring Elihu Root, grey Elder Statesman of U. S. diplomacy, good friend of Herbert Hoover, went to Geneva?quite unofficially?and began with foreign diplomats to draw up another set of reservations which would suit both them and the U.S. Last week more than 40 nations had approved the Root formula (see p. 26). So Henry Lewis Stimson, President Hoover's Secretary of State, announced that he had "carefully examined" the new reservations and "satisfied" himself that they would protect...
...Newport News, Va. It was a boiling hot day under a blazing hot sun, but Texans thrive in such weather. There were two good Texans looking the part, Senators Morris Sheppard and Tom Connally. Through the crowd came tripping a little Southern maid, all flowers, Miss Elizabeth Holcombe (daughter of a former Mayor of Houston) followed by a maid of honor.

But the lineup meant little. There are regular Republicans only half-hearted about many tariff items. And all good Democrats want some tariff or other for their people at home. The Insurgents, led by Idaho's Borah, and the Democrats, were agreed that they wanted tax reports made available - as am munition. The tax reports will show what profits numbers of businesses have made under present tariff duties...
...training, his duel with the English ace, Major Lanoe G. Hawker, whose plane he brought down after a fierce, magnificent combat, the producers waste three-quarters of the film telling a poppycock love story about one of his friends. Most of the photography is poor. One of the rare good shots: newsreel of the actual crowd waiting in Berlin streets to see Richthofen's body carried by. Gold Diggers of Broadway (Warner). Avery Hopwood's comedy about a rich man who tried to save his heir from a chorus girl is the framework of an indifferent screen musical...
