...Ernest Hemingway joined the U. S. literary contingent of Sinclair Lewis, Henry Louis Mencken, Theodore Dreiser, Eugene Gladstone O'Neill. Paul Robeson, Negro tenor and actor, not listed in Who's Who in America, is listed in Britain's Who's Who. Charles Augustus Lindbergh's history is recounted as follows: "Enrolled in flying school, Lincoln, Neb., in 1922; flew alone from New York to Paris, 1927." Col.

His third column was a potpourri of impressions beginning, "Understand that sanitary conditions [at Newark Airport] are to be improved and that provision is being made for the comfort and convenience of air-voyagers." Last week came an impassioned if unoriginal protest against the newspaper practice of playing up airplane crashes while auto and rail accidents are treated casually...
...associate director of the European centre of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and Cinemactor Charles ("Buddy") Rogers. A chocolate-brown third class passenger eclipsed in news value the entire first and second class. As he stepped ashore, "The Black Eagle of Harlem," Colonel Hubert Fauntleroy Julian, "The Negro Lindbergh," faced batteries of press cameras, eloquently told his tale...
