...turned up as "friends'' in the person of John W. Davis (and associates) who offered a brief against AAA. These briefs were concerned with two tests of the AAAct which taxes processors to raise money to pay farmers to reduce output.* One of these, brought by eight Louisiana rice millers who claim processing taxes are illegal, will be argued next week. The other is that of the Hoosac Mills Corp. of New Bedford, Mass, which was argued this week. The receivers of Hoosac Mills, one of whom is the late Calvin Coolidge's great & good friend William...

With independence goes a U. S. duty on Philippine sugar which, unless it is tempered by U. S.

...visit his grandfather's farm on Blennerhassett Island. He remembers swimming out into the river with his brother to collect driftwood logs washed down by the Johnstown Flood. When he grew up, he went to work for Standard Oil, is now vice president and treasurer of Standard of Louisiana. Last week Mr. Gordon bought up all the rest of Blennerhassett Island that his family did not own. The Federal Government, naturally, has never attempted to preserve the 227 acres which once threatened to be the jumping-off place for its dissolution. But Mr. Gordon is going to clean...
