...where voter-qualification tests were required, it now affects only seven Southern states-Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana, Virginia, South Carolina, and 34 counties in North Carolina.

American naval officers shrug off the story as apocryphal, but, say Neapolitans, how could any government admit it? "When that news swept the city...
Died. Emmet McCormack, 84, co-founder and retired chairman of MooreMcCormack Lines, who at the age of 14 became what he liked to call "the world's first syndicated office boy" by working for four companies at $1 each per week, bashed about New York harbor as a tugboat captain before he joined the late Albert Moore in 1913 to form their own shipping company, which now ranks as the country's third biggest with 40 freighters, two passenger liners; of a series of strokes; in West Palm Beach...
