...scope of the questions before the committee was larger than the Williams case. Assistant Secretary Ingalls denied that the U. S. was behind other powers in fast combat planes, though the Navy has been experimenting steadily with aircraft, seeking to develop a combination of endurance and reliability with speed. Lack of funds has been a constant handicap. The Navy's request for $3,000,000 to carry on aircraft development has been cut down to $2,000,000 per year for three successive years. In 1929 the Navy's air fleet was given $32,089,000. This year...

The directors are now seeking contributions that will enable the officers to continue the exhibitions of contemporary painting, sculpture and decorative arts...
...brother triumphant, the noble innocent acquitted, and the guilty confounded in one dramatic toss of the knife. The popularity of the screen version lies in an ingenious plot, ably unravelled by Norma Shearer and the competent Lewis Stone. Its difficulties lie in its adaptation from the original play. The lack of variety in scene and the preponderance of long speeches, compensated on the legitimate stage by the direct contact with audience, avoids monotony by a small margin. On the whole, however, "The Trial of Mary Dugan" can be recognized as a contribution of substance to the talking screen...
