...bullets from one of the machine guns with those found in the bodies of seven gangsters slain in the Moran whiskey depot last winter strengthened their conviction that Burke had led Chicago's famed St. Valentine's Day massacre (TIME, Feb. 25). To him are attributed at least four other murders, among them the killing of Brooklyn Gang King Frank Uale (TIME, July 9, 1928). The Federal government and six States want him for shootings or bank banditry. Rewards between $60,000 and $75,000 (depending on the number of convictions obtained) are set on his head...

S. wants him to do, a course in which too many Presidents of Mexico have flunked. Speaking of the U. S. last fortnight he said: "We" Mexicans . . . know that this...
However, Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the American Medical Association's Journal, with his usual salutary skepticism, editorialized: "With little if any apparent warrant, it is again announced, for at least the tenth time in five years, that the causative organism of influenza has been discovered and that it is hoped to prepare a vaccine. There is thus far little or no evidence in scientific medical literature, or even in spoken addresses, to indicate that I. S. Falk, Ph.D., and his associates have progressed any further toward the solution of this problem than have workers in other parts...
