Inventor Igor I. Sikorsky was in Europe, last week when the deal was announced. If any one had told him six years ago when, a Russian immigrant, he founded his U. S. company, that in 1929 it would bring $2,500,000, he would have believed it. He has never lacked self-confidence. In Tsarist days he was his country's foremost aeronautical engineer.

Prior to seeking action on even this weasel...
STIMMING did not sail on the Bremen. He put President Philip Heineken of the North German Lloyd aboard and saw that the old gentleman was comfortable. Reporters were told that "pressing business detained" the General Director in Germany. But intimates of STIM-MING know that he never crosses the Atlantic on his own ships, always on those of competing lines, studying them, working hard, thinking harder...
