...committee cast about for a title for Robert Henry Lucas, now Commissioner of Internal Revenue, a Kentuckian of whom the Hooverites expect much. The title "executive assistant to the national chairman" was proposed. Senator Fess complained it was not sufficiently "illuminating and dignified" for Mr. Lucas. Finally chosen was the phrase: "Executive Director of the Executive Committee of the Republican National Committee." The executive committee failed to fix Executive Director Lucas' salary at $25,000 as prearranged, left the matter to Chairman Fess and National Treasurer Joseph Nutt (also of Ohio...
...Department of Justice's reorganization of Prohibition Enforcement, which it took over this month from the Treasury (TIME, July 7), first notable change was at the biggest, Wettest metropolis in the land.

...Wang will die with the retirement (let us hope not, for another thirty years) of De Wolf Hopper. Indeed if Hopper had not erected it to its "present perpendicular attitude" "Wang" would be already dead and happy in "innocuous desuetude." But Hopper gives the thing its, authority, as the Kentuckian said of the "corn" in the julep. When he is on (which happily is most of the time) whether to heap new polysyllabies on the head of his obtuse Semegambian followed, or to narrate before the curtain the tragic consequences of "The Wrong Flat", the audience laughs itself sick.
