...HUDSON, onetime member of the New York Stock Exchange, owns 78% of a company in Newfoundland, the rest belonging to his brother and a close friend. Last year he lost $130,000 on the sale of securities. According to the income tax law a taxpayer cannot deduct losses beyond $2,000 unless they are balanced by corresponding profits. Rather than let his loss (tax credit) go to waste, Mr. Hudson sold other securities to his Newfoundland company for a profit of $130,000. Later if and when that company sells those securities it will not have any taxable profit...
Bill of Particulars. Mr. Morgenthau listed eight kinds of tax-dodging, all of which he classed as "moral fraud": 1) setting up personal holding companies in the Bahamas, Panama, Newfoundland and other places from which tax money cannot be extradited; 2) buying one-payment life insurance (from a Bahama company), borrowing back the "payment" and claiming tax deductions for interest paid on the loan;* 3) establishing personal holding companies in the U.

...Henry Tindall ("Dick") Merrill, whom no less an authority than War Ace Eddie Rickenbacker calls the "best transport pilot in the U. S." Last summer Dick Merrill flew Crooner Harry Richman to England, was forced down in Wales (TIME, Sept. 14). On the return trip he cracked up in Newfoundland, got embroiled in a tawdry, name-calling squabble with Richman, to whom he no longer speaks (TIME, Sept. 28). Back on his regular run for Eastern Air Lines, Dick Merrill next made news by wrapping his ship around a mountain, miraculously without injury to his eight passengers (TIME...
...year-old Harvey Cheyne (Freddie Bartholomew), too full of chocolate ice cream sodas, slips under the rail of a transatlantic liner's boat deck, bellywhops down into the icy waters of the Newfoundland fishing banks. Awaking in the fo'c'sle of a Gloucester fishing schooner, Harvey discovers he is in a world where the mysterious emollient of wealth fails to lay a calming film on the stern civilization aboard ship, to say nothing of the waters churning overside. Skipper Disko (Lionel Barrymore) of the We're Here signs Harvey on as a member...
According to Colonel Johnson, the Post Office will soon invite bids for four transatlantic mail flights a week. Route in summer will be from Ireland across the Atlantic to the big new airport near Botwood, Newfoundland (TIME, March 1), where it will split into two legs, one going straight down the coast to New York with a stop at Shediac, N. B., the other to Montreal and then down the Hudson Valley to New York. In winter the planes will fly via the Azores and Bermuda...
