...food situation became so acute that Commander-in-Chief Walter Waters flew to New York to beg supplies. There Adam Hat Stores, Inc. donated 90 tons of food, of which 1,500 Ib. of beef was rushed to Washington by plane. In Commander Waters' absence, Communist John Pace, leader of the Workers' Ex-Service Men's League, arose to attack his dictatorship. A thousand conservative Veterans began closing in on the noisy little Red. Suddenly out of nowhere appeared General Glassford. "Pace has just as much right to speak here as anyone," he shouted...
According to Havana police, the 6 Ib. of dynamite were placed at a street-corner which the President was scheduled to pass in his automobile.

Orientals pay more than $100 per Ib. for hog gallstones. The ultimate remainder is brewed, dried and ground, sold...

S. producers through Copper Exporters, Inc. Last week the first tangible evidence of the split was seen when four big foreign producers resigned from the export body. They were: Union Minière du Haut Katanga, Chile Copper, subsidiary of Anaconda; International Nickel Co. of Canada; Cerro de Pasco with prolific mines in Peru. Coppermen thought Copper Exporters would eventually cease to function, that U. S. producers would...
