...General Johnson and his codemakers, President Roosevelt's new National Labor Board got off to a good start last week as a strike- settler in other troubled fields. Without waiting for New York's Senator Wagner, the regular chairman, to return from a European vacation, Dr. Leo Wolman of NRA's Labor Advisory Board took temporary command. Baltimore-born 43 years ago, this liberal economist has lately shot up to a position of major importance at NRA headquarters. He got his education at Johns Hopkins (A. B. 1911; Ph. D. 1914), taught at Hobart, Harvard and Michigan...
...Timber Point (L. I.) professional named Jimmy Hines, and Mortie Dutra, hulking brother of the hulking defending champion, tied for the medal with 138. Par 70 was broken or tied 16 times and the 31 out of 97 starters who qualified needed 146 or better. In the first round, Leo Diegel lost to a long-driving young Western pro named Willie Goggin, who tied for seventh in the U. S. Open last spring. In the second round, sleek, crinkly-eyed Johnny Farrell put out Olin ("King Kong") Dutra, the defending champion, 1 up. There is always one comparatively unknown golfer...

He promptly loses it in a crap game and Sport Powell (Herbert Rawlinson), who wins it, unnerves Dwight by trying to make a pretty chorus girl (Mary Brian) the leading lady. A tiny vein of originality can be detected...
...Physicians took 25 stitches in his neck, saved his life until the early morning of Aug. 17. Then 25 masked men raided the Prison Farm, seized Frank in his night clothes, streaked cross-country by automobile to Marietta where Mary Phagan had been born. When the sun came up Leo Frank's corpse dangled from an oak tree near Prey's gin mill. After it was cut down, a man ground his heel into its pallid face. Said the Marietta Journal: "We regard the hanging of Leo Frank as an act of law abiding citizens." Georgia...
Last week Leo Frank's name got back into the news again when Georgia's Governor Eugene Talmadge pardoned throat-cutting convict William Creen, now a sick, broken old man after his 20-year imprisonment...
