Other investigations-monopoly, petroleum, tax revision, banking, forestry, fisheries, wild animal life-will play to smaller houses. Biggest show of all would have been the proposed investigation into the alleged Mexican oil dealings of Pennsylvania's onetime oilman, Senator Joe Guffey. In announcing the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee's decision to quash the investigation, Senator Connally of Texas wisecracked: "We've just dry-cleaned Joe." == Call for this inquiry arose from stories written by top-flight Reporter Marquis Childs in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and by pretty Ruth Sheldon in the Saturday Evening Post. Mr. Guffey...
...Phoebe Titus' friends compared her to a pack rat, another to Joan of Arc.

Ready of Washington-had gone to Mexico to confer on a joint enterprise, a seminary founded two years ago at Las Vegas, N. M. to furnish priests to the Mexican Church. For seminaries, as well as cassocks, are illegal in practice in Mexico. The U. S. prelates found the seminary with its 66 students, going well enough. For the rest, they visited Mexico City's landmarks, were banqueted-in mufti-by a Methodist who has not always been popular with Catholic...
