...Main steps taken in the open by I.I.U.R.A. have so far consisted of sales of "the book" by Agent Ashwell. A dignified, voluble, onetime architect who came to California as a district manager for Johns-Manville Corp., lost his job in 1931, Agent Ashwell happened into an I.I.U.R.A. lecture three years ago, was instantly captivated by the idea. He set up a bureau, helped promote Mankind United, now lectures six nights a week to goggle-eyed San Franciscans, including many a onetime Townsendite. As envisioned by Author Ashwell, if each buyer of Mankind United promptly sells four copies to other...
...would up electricity costs to Ontario voters. As Conservatives they ought to balance the budget-but "Mitch" already has. Again as Conservatives they can hardly champion the C. I. O. against Premier Hepburn yet, ludicrously enough, since "Mitch" has made C. I. O. what is supposed to be the main issue of Ontario's campaign, the Conservatives were valiantly trying last week to straddle on this and put themselves forward as Labor's friends. Since "Mitch" is too flamboyant for a good many people's taste, Conservative Leader Rowe has tried to attack him by demanding just...
...sonorous Bavarian accent, Herr Wagner emphasized Herr Hitler's main points: 1) He bluntly warned German industrialists that if they cannot speed production to make the Third Reich economically self-sufficient, state capitalism will follow.

...Main Tent. Each day of the political circus featured a different attraction in the centre ring. Most impressive: The march-past on the mammoth Zeppelin Meadow of the Arbeitsdienst-Nazi compulsory labor battalions. Forty thousand lads in rough khaki, 3,000 stripped to the waist, goose stepped past the Realmleader, mirrored thousands of times on the silver-blue spades they carried on their shoulders. Most beautiful: 22,000 alternate Nazi ranks, carrying flaming torches, wending their slow tramp along the search-lit walls of the turreted medieval city. Most spectacular: 140,000 brown-uniformed Storm Troopers lined up column upon...
...Samuel Johnson, the first great English lexicographer, Emily Post, the first great lexicographer of U. S. manners, had the opportunity of imposing many of her personal prejudices as rules for contemporary and future generations to follow. Emily Bruce Price Post-who 30-odd years ago married and divorced Edwin Main Post, Manhattan banker and socialite-was but a comely divorcée somewhat in need of cash, a woman whose horizon was largely bounded by Newport and Park Avenue when she unwittingly wrote a book which was to make her fame and fortune. Today, at 64, she is a prosperous...
