...violent Wilsonian Democrat (his oldest son-secretary is named Woodrow), in 1933 he was elected Philadelphia's Controller on a coalition ticket, next year supported Democrat George H. Earle for Governor of Pennsylvania, year after that was elected Mayor as a Republican, last year sought (and lost) the Democratic U. S. Senatorial nomination against Earle. As Mayor, Wilson was good, bad. Although he was twice indicted for malfeasance in office (one indictment remained last week), he saved Philadelphians $50,000,000 on the capitalization of their transit setup, beat down utility rates, cut the tax rate 5?, was credited...

Already Minister of the Interior, Serrano Suñer became president of the policy-making Falangist Council and acquired the portfolios of Public Order, Sanitation and Health.

When even his yum-yum recipe for Streusselkuchen* failed to find him a post over the radio, Hans Rohrbeck went out and got himself a good job, is now serving up his Kuchen at Lake...
...foreign-syndicate offer of $37,500 for the bay colt he had bought as a yearling for $3,250. Outstanding two-year-old of 1938, Little Pete, who wears his forelock ribbon-braided like a pickaninny's, has been undefeated in five races this year (he has not lost a heat or once broken his stride, even in scoring). Winner of $47,000 so far this year, and entered in six more rich stakes, he may well become the biggest money-winning three-year-old of all time before the season ends in September...
