Hero's End. George White Rogers first got into the headlines in 1934 when he clung to his key in the radio shack of the burning liner Morro Castle, risked the death that overtook 124 others. Having joined the Bayonne, N. J. police radio squad as a patrolman, Hero Rogers was headlined again last March after he handed an electrical "fish tank heater" to his friend and chief, Lieutenant Vincent J. Doyle. The package exploded, nipping three fingers from Lieutenant Doyle's left hand, paralyzing his left leg, laying Hero Rogers open to the suspicion that...
...Algic." Three Algic sit-downers (Seamen Clegg Lowder, Rubel Stewart, James Lampkin) pleaded guilty to "willful neglect of duty," awaited punishment befitting a misdemeanor. Because the U. S. Government owned the Algic (but leased it to a private operator), the freighter's C. I. O. crew got into trouble with U. S. authorities last year for staging a sit-down aboard ship at Montevideo, Uruguay. Fourteen were subsequently charged with mutiny, convicted in Baltimore, given 30 to 35 days in jail.

Once he came stumbling into the shack of a neighbor, shaking and bloody. "Bad cave in," he said. "Nearly got me that time...
...awfullest bus accident anybody ever saw. Sixteen of the 38 children somehow got out alive. But three of them were horribly injured, one dying three days later. Driver Silcox was dead. No bus crash had ever cost so much life; the last biggest at Salem, Ill., March, 1937, took 20 lives. Utah's Public Service Commission, painfully aware of the danger that lay athwart the State's other 2,054 unprotected grade crossings, sought jurisdiction over all the State's school buses, planned to delegate to one older student in each bus the job of flagging...
