...crusading publisher (Gary Grant) launches an attack upon Taronian and all other foreign loans. Princess Nancy is offered $5,000 extra to distract the publisher's attention from his front page. She succeeds so well that the two fall in love. A sleuthing reporter and a low-grade actor uncover Nancy's true identity, are on the point of exposing her when the real Princess intervenes. Thirty Day Princess is light entertainment, competently acted. Typical shot: Nancy lulling the publisher's suspicions that she is also the Princess by chewing gum eating with her knife...

Surtaxes which begin at 4% on net income (after personal exemptions) of more than $4,000 and grade up to 59% on incomes over $1,000,000. (Old law: surtaxes began at 1% on net income exceeding $6,000 and graded up to 55% on incomes over $1,000,000.)

The surtax brackets are arranged to scale up more steeply so that men with incomes between $25,000 and $1,000,000 will pay more. Increased revenue...
...Goucher is also distinguished. His paternal family is of old French stock. His great-grandfather and two great-grand uncles were the founders of Goucher College for Women in Baltimore. He was the 14th in a family of 17 children; his schooling had extended only up to the third grade; he had been a cabin boy and a music hall singer; his wife was an actress whom he married when she was 14; and he owned a sausage factory in California. Ordinarily such a candidate ought to be sausage meat for Mr. Gerry. But this opponent could not be ignored...
Pennsylvania's team is built around Captain Don Kellett, the outstanding short stop in the League, and Johnny Powell his veteran partner at second. In the pitcher's box Hal Sked and Andy Barton will share honors, with both men capable of turning in a Grade A performance. For Harvard, Fred Mitchell will stick to the winning lineup that took Princeton and Cornell. Ben Prouty in center field and Phil Hines at second have given the Varsity an extra punch it didn't have before they were sent into the second battle with the Ithacans, and Mitch isn't going...
