...Schmitt is well known to favor devaluation of the German mark by 20%. The staggering powers slipped into his hands last week resemble those granted by the U. S. Congress to Franklin Roosevelt, some of which the President has of course not used. Tight-lipped Tsar Schmitt gave no sign of how he may use his powers, but Adolf Hitler was seen to have created a nearly perfect engine of economic despotism. Thus far in economics he has been largely windbag. From now on German Big Industry-the Thyssens, Krupps, Siemenses and their ilk-are in a position to receive...

...Drury Jr., strapping big son of the strapping big headmaster of St. Paul's School, got his beat up to 37, splashed out to a lead of three quarters of a length. Yale, pulling a shade slower, crept up. The shells were even at the half-mile mark. At the mile, Yale was a third of a length ahead. The crews settled down into the rhythm of the race with Yale, smoothly stroked by Johnny Jackson, clearing its puddles by six feet at 30 strokes a minute, with Harvard getting less run out of a faster beat...
...Bernard Mannes Baruch will be 64. About that time, when he returns from Vichy, France, he will go to work in a new office in midtown Manhattan, four miles north of the office at No. 120 Broadway which he has occupied for the last six years. That move will mark a major milestone in the Baruch career. Last week Mr. Baruch explained the reason to an Associated Pressman: he is going to give up finance for literature, to write three books, The Autobiography of an American Boy, The Way That Lies Ahead for the Youth of America...
