...public works program to reach the spending stage drew a spirited retort from Secretary Ickes last week before a Chicago conference of mayors. Blaming municipalities for construction delays, the Public Works Administrator declared: "All we can do is to ask you to 'Get on your mark! Get set! Go!' We can give you the money but we can't make you borrow it from us. ...

He is fast, heavy enough and heady enough and ought to make the grade. Barrett? He's a question mark. He's been up in team A during the last week but our memories are strained in trying to remember what he did last year...
...survey of positions won and lost. Bull-dogged little Lord Beaverbrook, having forged into the lead, triumphantly shouted that his Express had 2,054,000 daily for the month of June-hugest daily circulation ever recorded! The Herald, which started it all, had clawed past the Mail to a mark of 2,000,000. The Mail in third place had 1,850,000, the News-Chronicle...
