There was no attempt on the part of the Kremlin to suggest that any of the eight dead generals were Trotskyists. The charge was simply that they had sold information to a "foreign power." Japan and Germany are the only two powers conceivably in the market for Russian military secrets, and of these Nazi Germany is closest to Moscow. Anti-Soviet rumor factories in Warsaw, Riga and Berlin quickly spread stories of abortive Red Army mutinies in a dozen districts, bloody street riots, even the assassination of Nazi Ambassador Friedrich Werner Graf von der Schulenburg...

At his Friday press conference, the President emphatically declared that there was nothing to worry about...
...which has been creating an astonishing reserve of good will for its members by organizing selling drives to relieve farm surpluses. Last year it started off with a nation-wide campaign in canned peaches, cleaned up the glut in short order. When last year's Drought flooded the market with cattle that could no longer be fed, the chains managed to increase beef sales 34% in the middle of summer, a poor beef season. The same thing was done with turkeys last autumn. From this type of practical relief the chain stores have gained most of their new-found...
