...plane coasted down out of the hot sky. From it stepped a heavy-set Nurnberger with a closely-cropped head. Beneath his scowling brows and knifelike nose twitched a small black "Hitler mustache." Not in Nazi regalia, the hero wore a Palm Beach suit and his perspiring head gleamed hatless in the sun. Snapping to attention, the Special Guard saluted His Excellency Julius Streicher. Governor of Franconia, Big Boss of Old Nurnberg and idol of all Germans who hate Jews. In his heavy right fist Herr Streicher gripped his personal trademark, the riding whip he always carries and is reputed...
...taxicab accident was his excuse for missing last week's Tristan. But Philadelphians were no more concerned than when he decided to go hatless, scold subscribers, ride a hobby horse at rehearsals. Stokowski had ''taxi trouble" in 1927 after which he took a leave of absence. He was "hit" again in Manhattan in 1930 when his performances with the Philharmonic suffered in comparison with those of Arturo Toscanini.

But he also knows that hatters are troubled by more & more hatless heads, that clothing dealers are bothered by the growing tendency to leave off undershirts. Author of slogans like "No Metal Can Touch You" and "If You Wore Them Around Your Neck You'd Change Them More Frequently," he lately started a campaign to make men wear their full quota of clothes and accessories. Last week his campaign resulted in the creation of a body called the National Men's Apparel Commission to counterattack nudism...
...omitted was the formal top-hatted delegation which a more conventional Administration would have expected Congress to have sent down Pennsylvania Avenue to say the same thing that Leader Robinson had made a joke of. His children, grandchildren, wife and friends following in four cars behind, the President rode hatless to the Capitol. His secretaries clucked their tongues at the wreaths of mist which hung about their bareheaded chief as he swung up a ramp to the House wing. On the arm of his son James he passed into the well of the House and after a round of applause...
