Further, by the implication of omission, the article gives the impression that Mrs. McCormick and I made no attempt to save our guests, while our chauffeur, Jackson, called the fire department, took full charge of all rescue work, and was the first to discover that the Duke de La Tremoille was still in the burning house. The only reference to Mrs. McCormick and myself states that ''we walked safely out of the front door...
This was the second Baha'i wedding to take place under the auspices of Socialite Mrs. Chanler, her daughter having been similarly married four years ago (TIME, March 10, 1930).

First great rumpus on the newspaper code was over Freedom of the Press. Publisher Robert Rutherford McCormick of the Chicago Tribune last autumn was loudest in his objections to a code which did not redefine the constitutional rights of newspapers to say what they please. Could they, for example, be licensed out of business by a government disgruntled with their views? In December General Johnson stopped trying to reassure newspaper publishers that the code was not meant to be a gag by inserting a specific clause to the effect that the government got no censoring rights...
