Early one morning a clerk in the commissary at Logtown?tiny lumber settle-ment 70 miles inland from Puerto Cabezas ?spied the attacking force coming out of the steamy jungle. He jerked off the telephone receiver, screamed "Help! Help!" to the operator at Wawa Junction on the narrow gauge railroad that runs to the coast. Then he fled. Yelling "Viva Sandino," the bandits fell savagely upon Logtown. Under a breadfruit tree they killed John Phelps, timber inspector for Standard Fruit's logging interests. They cut his body to bits. They threw Joseph Luther Pennington, another Standard Fruit Lumberman, into...
...announced a five-day week for field, pipe-line and refinery employes. "In line with practice generally established . . . aiding in the relief of the unemployment situation," explained the announcement. Back in 1929, the five-day week was a sociological movement, widely publicized. Lately it has been a corporate retrench- ment, little discussed.

Kansas doctors got his medical license revoked. (He is appealing for re-instate-ment.) The Government forced him to sell his radio station, bought last week by an insurance company. (He quickly bought another in Mexico, which he will operate by remote control at Milford...
Even to Frenchmen who knew that commercial aviation means a long, long pull. Aeropostale's showing was disappointing. Its planes carried last year only 224,000 mile-tons of freight, one-fifth of capacity. In 1929 its total receipts were but $770,000. Undoubtedly the Govern-ment had hoped for better things...
