...Year's Eve, 1932, the Delmars drove from Hollywood to Agua Caliente, lost so much gambling at the Casino that they had to borrow money for gas to drive home. When they came to file their joint income tax return for 1933, Eugene remembered to deduct the $1,200 he had lost at chemin de fer, Vina the $300 she lost at roulette. Under the Revenue Act of 1934 this posed the problem as to whether the Delmars had undertaken their gambling for recreation or profit. Called before the Board of Tax Appeals, chunky Eugene insisted he had gambled...
Almost as soon as the McDuffie-Tydings Bill was passed it began to be reconsidered. Last year a joint committee of U.

Harold Gear conducted Zoltan Kodaly's beautiful Te Deum, written...

It required some resolution on my part to assure my caller that this war would not start before the next morning and he might, therefore, retire...
...disclosed, but grapevine rumor reported him as dubious of its practicality. He was also reported to have asked that no wages be cut by the roads. When George Harrison and fellows emerged from the White House after two hours all he would say was: "We presented the joint views of railroad labor and management. . . . The next move is up to the President." With many a major road ready to totter at any moment, it seemed unlikely that Franklin Roosevelt would delay more than a few days...
