Best laugh of the campaign was provided by a widely circulated picture showing grey, bespectacled Mayor Shaw seated in an automobile with President & Mrs, Roosevelt with the National Capitol in the background. The picture's caption: "This heretofore unpublished photo shows President and Mrs. Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Los Angeles' dynamic Mayor, Hon. Frank L. Shaw, motoring near the National Capitol during Mayor Shaw's recent visit in Washington." Candidate Ford offered "final and conclusive" proof that Mayor Shaw had not motored with the Roosevelts in Washington, that a picture taken when Mayor Shaw rode through...
...reached Labrador at dawn. It swam slowly down the coast all day. At Portland, Boston and New London it dipped in courtesy gestures. About 4 p.m. it nuzzled in over Long Island to New York City, while six airplanes buzzed around it. With the sun glinting on its silver-grey sides and the four huge red swastikas on its fins, it circled once over Manhattan, then headed for its berth at Lakehurst. But a sharp thunderstorm came up and when he reached the Naval reservation, Captain Pruss took no chances, turned off to sea. At dusk, while a drizzle fell...
Among U. S. editors and statesmen the prestige of Foreign Affairs, sobersided, grey-backed quarterly, is high. Its circulation is modest (9.500). When Foreign Affairs' thick-thatched, sobersided editor, Hamilton Fish Armstrong, addresses his audience, he does not hope to be heard by the U. S. at large.

R. It was Mr. Abbott's duty to put that dilapidated 1,600-mi. railroad on the auction block. By court order he was to offer the road at "the main entrance of the division superintendent's office at the Cedar Lake Shops." Arriving at the precise spot on the second floor...
...Stockbroker Young's swank Park Avenue apartment that evening, Manhattan financial writers got a further taste of how the self-styled "babes" in the Van Sweringen corporate woods do business. After munching sandwiches and drinking coffee in Mr. Young's tapestried dining room, newshawks met short, grey Frank B. Bernard of Muncie's Merchants National Bank, who will represent the Ball Foundation on Alleghany Corp.'s board. Next to be introduced was ruddy-faced, bald-pated Charles Leininger Bradley, chairman of the Erie R. R. and one of the late Oris Paxton Van Sweringen...
