Atherton's survey was ordered by the Conference two years ago, when faculty delegates, after years of non-intervention while Pacific teams paid off the mortgages on some of the most glamorous football hippodromes in the U. S., decided to take a hand to keep commercialism from running hog-wild. Atherton, a stocky, black-maned, 43-year-old lawyer, onetime consular official and G-Man, now head of a Los Angeles investigating firm, started by questioning some 500 letter & numeral men on 1937 Conference teams. He got cooperation by promising: 1) no punishments, 2) no publication of details...
...tracks at year's end were some 85 streamliners, made by Pullman, Budd, American Car & Foundry and in railroad shops. A few were still being pulled by skirted, dressed-up steam locomotives, but the best records were being set by the Western roads that had gone whole hog and plumped for Diesel-electric power. Speeds had been stepped up enormously : Burlington's Fort Worth-Houston and Chicago-St. Paul trains were running on a 66.6-m. p. h. schedule; Union Pacific-Chicago & North Western's two City of Denver trains were averaging 65.4 between Chicago and Denver...

Although the writings of Mr. Hicks are specifically cited in the article as illegal liquor, the Civilization Plan has gone the whole hog by asking the scholarly radical to lecture here...
...private letters he said the things he should have said in public. He was almost smug about refusing to use his patronage powers to bring Congressmen into line. He outmaneuvered the silken Senator Nelson Aldrich on the tariff, forced substantial cuts, then watched the whole country go hog-wild over a headline which twisted a few forthright words in one of his speeches. The muckrakers were abroad in the land and Taft lacked T. R.'s flair for handling them. The great "scandal" of his administration, and a chief cause of Roosevelt's resentment, was drummed...
