Bulwarked by such patriots, Mr. Dies with perfect confidence last week asked the House to extend his inquiry for a year beyond next Jan. 3 (when his present authorization expires). Having spent most of the $125,000 so far appropriated to his committee, he announced he would ask for $100,000 at the next regular session of Congress. His awed fellows in the House had talked seriously of letting him have up to $500,000, seemed certain to vote one-fifth as much...
Transcontinental Broadcasting System, Inc., Elliott Roosevelt's venture, is scheduled to go into business Jan. 1 with some 100 stations. All last week at The Blackstone in Chicago, the lure of Elliott's name, plus the promise of some 60 hours a week of steady if cut-rate business, kept customers coming. B-S-H had already contracted for 15 premium night-time hours a week; Emerson Radio & Phonograph Corp. scheduled its noisy commentator, Elliott Roosevelt himself, on Transcontinental. Dorothy Thompson was courted; Boake Carter and Father Coughlin were possibilities. There were no such headliners as Jack Benny...
...ended! Your place, (Czechoslovak citizen, is today in the front line. . . . The Allied aircraft will often appear over your towns* and will bring you encouragement and assistance. . . .

Last summer, Chemist James English Jr. and James Frederick Bonner, working at the California Institute of Technology with famed Dutch Plantman Aire Jan Haagen-Smit, announced that they had solved the mystery of that healing juice. In a kitchen-simple experiment, they butchered a batch of fresh Kentucky Wonder string beans, dribbled the hormone-rich juice into the pod-linings of other wounded beans. In a few hours, large clumps of healthy...
...Scrap. Fourth quarter steel earnings will not be as lush as production because sheets will be going at June's cut prices until Jan. 1. And there is a menacing squeeze in raw materials. September pig iron production rose only 12% because blast furnaces for making pig iron are in worse shape than furnaces for smelting steel ingots. Quick to profit from the scarcity of pig (price $22.50) have been the railroads and other sellers of its rival raw material, scrap, who have put the price up to $26 a ton (Aug. 31 price: $15.25). At $26, sheet mills...
